Must See Movie...

Best movie ever!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A group of friends meet for the weekend in a "cursed" house that had been the site of a vicious, Mansonesque murder. The new owner wants to use it for a murder mystery game, where the friends get "killed" off, and the ones left alive are left to guess the killer. But then a real killer shows up, so that's not good.This film is a lower budget affair with unknown actors. It's in the vein of a Full Moon film, being helmed by David DeCouteau, a 1980s Full Moon regular (and apparently still around). Strangely, the film tries to pass itself off as a "Scream" replica, but it is really nothing like that franchise, not in plot or look or sensibility.The real source for this film is "April Fools Day". I have to assume that the writer of "Final Stab" ripped this one off directly, because it would be one heck of a coincidence otherwise. A murder mystery weekend? Preppy friends? A practical joke? It just follows right along, at least until the murders turn real. But that's such a minor change that this can hardly be called an original film.The acting is decent but not great, the effects are nothing special, the plot as mentioned is a rehash... if you want to see a good DeCouteau film, see "Creepozoids". Or better yet, watch "April Fools Day" (the original) and just be done with it. This film has vanished off the radar (if it was ever there), and I feel no compulsion to defend it.

I admit it, I got suckered in. Silly me! The plot actually borrows more from "April Fools Day" (which was one of the better slasher films of its time) than "Scream." A rich bitch invites her estranged sister and her sister's nightmare-plagued boyfriend to a house-warming party, accompanied by her synchophant college friends. She stages a fake death, allegedly to start a murder mystery theme house as a business venture. But (surprise!) someone starts killing off the guests for real. While I never expected anything of quality, I had hoped for something that was enjoyably bad. The people involved in this films seemed to promise such a thing. What amazed me was how boring it was. Everything that is done here has been done before. The cast is good-looking, but they show very little skin. Also, the killings have very little bloodshed, far less than the R rating warrants. It makes me wonder who the target audience was.There are only a few minor compensations. Errin Hayes gives a pretty good performance as a Joan Collins wannabe, and the other actors are passable. The background music isn't bad, some of the humor works, and the technical aspects are marginally better than in other films of its kind. But it didn't make the film any less boring.

This is one of those pitiful "horror" films that seems like it came together as an excuse to encapsulate a few sex scenes, yet there are no sex scenes in the movie. This leaves you with a movie full of trendy-looking people who act and talk in ways that are neither stylistic nor realistic.The killer in this movie is more funny than scary. His mask has this big goofy grin and a bald head; it looks like they gave him a William Frawley mask and spray-painted it blue. During most of the murder scenes, he appears either to stab someone in a non-fatal part of the body or inflict a very shallow wound. In either case, the person dies instantly. The funniest parts feature glimpses of the killer running around in the woods by himself - without anywhere to be, really. This makes the viewer wonder if he is just doing the murder spree thing for the exercise.The end makes a very poor attempt to pull off a "who is the real killer?" scene, as in "Scream." This may have something to do with this movie being optioned as a Scream sequel? The alternate titles suggest that. Either way, it's self-conscious of the horror genre, but only in a really embarrassing way.All that said, if you like bad horror for the laughs, this one is pretty prime. Try to avoid spending money to obtain it.

Kristen is spoiled rich and always gets what she wants, even to see her very own sisters' psychotic boyfriend snap. So Kristen sets up the idea for a murder mystery party at an old house in the country. She invites people she went to college with and hires an actor to play a killer. She then has Angela (her sister) and Charlie (sisters boyfriend) come to the 'surprise' party. Kristen plans it out perfect, Charlie sees the first fake death right in the living room with everyone else and then he begins to panic and rushes out of the house. That's when Kristen's games begin. However, she thinks she has the perfect plot until the people really start dying. They really do have a killer among them. Sounds pretty good huh? Overall you could tell this movie was a "B" movie because of the poor directing and blood. The acting wasn't bad but as you can see plot is very good. Even though this was a predictable movie I'd rate this.. 6/10.
