The (click clips) cast delivers a solid performance, with Kane Hodder standing out as an incredibly intimidating villain. The dialogue feels like a 1980s slasher film. It's funny and hilarious. There are also moments of humor throughout the movie that add humor to all the bloody action.

Unfortunately, the film's budget was limited to $1 million. That means a lot of locations featured in the film are re-used from earlier films.
