This is a very unique take on the slasher genre, which is what prompted me to watch it in the first place. But unfortunately it ended up feeling bland thanks to extremely lazy writing. It reminded me a lot of the movie Blue Ruin, a movie that put all of its energy into cinematography whilst neglecting everything else. Which seems to be a trend with a lot of modern indie movies.

The characters in this movie sucked, the Mexicans that were being hunted down barely said a word even when they were fighting for their lives. And the villain himself never expressed any real motivation for what he was doing, you COULD just say he was racist but simply making assumptions is not enough. This was a chance to explore various political and racial tensions, perhaps give the villain a backstory that explains how he came to hate Mexicans so much. But no, the writer seemed to lack any creativity and just thought "white man hate Mexican, white man kill Mexican. the end".

The villain never once says a racial slur, or anything negative about Mexicans that would give context to his actions. He just strolls through the movie like a Terminator which was quite disappointing. Overall, the fresh concept kept me engaged, but i knew the entire time that i wasn't watching a good movie.
