This movie is AWESOME!

It seems like a lot of people weren't aware of the low quality of the filming. It's an independent film that didn't have much to work with. But that being said, with as little they had to work with, the movie kicks ass! It's thrilling and scary. I always love a psychotic and violent woman-villain. If you can settle with the fact that this movie was made with a very low budget, you'll probably like this one. There are a lot of unexpected things that happen. Compared to other movies that are filmed similarly, this one definitely stands out.

Imagine taking a movie camera out with your friends and making a movie. Do you honestly think it's going to look any better than this? Sure they aren't good actresses, but I disagree with it not being exciting. I thought it was suspenseful, creepy and oftentimes funny (like the poo-slinging scene). I thought a lot of things that happened were unexpected. And the girls did not look like they were older than teens. I don't remember the music, but I know I accepted it for the extremely low-budget film it is and found it incredibly entertaining. But we can't all experience it this way.

I agree josephrh. Its not like a film i have seen before and thought it was a great concept. Ok some of the acting wasnt great and the music was poor but i still thought it had a lot of suspense and did have some quite scary elements and i thoroughly enjoyed it!

But if everyone had the same views it'd be a very boring world!

Yes. Ive made a movie with my friends and Yes it is better than FATE.
The film is called Bloodstained Romance and its available at www.IndieFlix.com!
Its a Top Seller! So yeah you can make a better movie than this with a camera and your friends. All it takes is a script, cast, and TALENT!

Are most of you guys from the UK? I think that might be the problem. I think US humor is a bit different than your's. I can't figure out why you don't find the script to be clever and funny. So this is what I'm thinking.

I agreed with u "JOSHEPH" it was a great indie horror film IMO. With many flaws but very entertaining, shocking and thrilling . I cant wait to buy this one.

May u finally rest in peace

I agree.
(spoiler below)
I really liked the final scene where the girls turned into brutal killers.
You need to have some kind of special interests in killer women to
fully enjoy these kind of films. It's definitely not for the "vanilla".
Being a masochist, I enjoy this kind of scenes in movies.

I think this movie is made for showing us how would a group of teenage high
school girls brutally kill someone, each of them taking turns to stab
the victim, while the others watch and enjoy sipping their coke.

It's like an Eli Roth or Tarantino concept with a low budget.

The acting is very good considering it's a real time movie with very
long scenes shot with handycam style.

Some mini spoilers may follow....

I agree fully. This movie was actually pretty good. It entertained me, it was semi realistic and it shows anyone can make an ok movie if they have a camera.

I enjoyed that it was all kind of hidden... as in the cameraman stayed in the van and kept you in suspense to what was happening to the girls outside the van. I found nothing wrong with the music... I mean come on... it's a small budget (if any... how much does a camera, van, SUV, a couple tools and fake blood cost?)Likely the music was just played on a stereo in the back ground. But it fit the scenes well I think.

It was even interesting to have a different type of maniac... you know, not your stereotypical hillbilly perv/rapist.

The acting was decent. Some of the reviews I read mentioned all the screaming through out... but really, a crazy physcho is hurting you and your friends and chasing you... I am pretty sure most teenage girls would react the same!

A few parts I felt didn't make sense... like how Jamie was going into shock and about to die almost... when from what it looks like she was just shot in the arm... then she was perfectly fine when they were trying to fix the tire.

And I don't get how blood was all of a sudon in Belles eyes? Maybe someone can explain to me?

All around, I don't feel it was a waste of time. It was an enjoyable movie that I would likely recommend to people who enjoy low budget movies.

I thought this was one of the best no budget horror films I have ever seen. It was intense from beginning to end.
