I was underwhelmed by this one after seeing it touted on a particular YouTube channel. While the violence and gruesome factor is definitely over-the-top, it comes across (to me) as just being violent for the sake of violence, i.e. the story is painfully shallow and the movie itself is difficult to watch for that reason. There's very, VERY little backstory (and none at all about "Lola" or Daddy Stone) and I'm not sure AT ALL what the other couple was about...the "odd couple", if you will, who were smoking weed and eventually having sex in the back seat of the car during the prom. Seriously, I mean...what did they have to do with anything in the entire film? Take them out of the movie and you cut this film down to probably 45 minutes (if that) of runtime. Agonizingly slow to get started, and then the violence was, again, just over the top almost as if they just wanted to concoct some _Saw_ -like ideas and put them into play. I don't know... I watched this because it was recommended on a YouTube list, but the brutal truth is, I felt like it was a huge waste of time. I know I'm a sicko for enjoying brutal, violent, gory horror films (but I'm not alone, obviously) and this _was_ brutal, violent, and gory...but it just really made no sense, and for that it was difficult to sit through.

I kept messing with my phone, if that tells you anything. Recommended **ONLY** if you're looking for something very bloody and violent and don't really care if there's much of a story involved. Otherwise, give this one a pass. At only 84 minutes, it's still too long.
