Unless you're willing to waste an hour and a half of your life just for a few gory kills, this one should be ignored. I had an evening to kill after spending the first 3/4 of my weekend watching several GOOD films, and I expected more - of EVERYTHING - out of this one: more dark comedy, more violence, more stupid humor. It failed in ALL AREAS. For one, I had to wait almost a full 40 minutes before the first "notable" kill (00:39:47), and then it was a long wait before the next ones started piling up. Granted, they got a little creative, and yes, it's pretty gruesome...but it just wasn't worth all the utter tripe you have to sit through. The storyline itself is completely bland, with no room whatsoever to empathize with anyone, so when the killing starts, you really don't feel anything for anyone. Just as in _The Evil Dead_, the main characters are a bunch of brain-dead teenagers filled with hormones, so you're almost rooting for them to get killed off. Not that they **deserve** it, mind you; it's just that the movie will be better off once they and their silly sex-addled brains are removed from the script. Fast-forward to the end: it makes ZERO SENSE AT ALL. If you've ever watched _City of the Living Dead_ (released in the U.S. as _The Gates of Hell_ ) and you recall the closing scene in that movie…this one was highly reminescent of that movie/scene. I watched it multiple times to see if I had missed something, but no…and it still makes no sense to me. Just too many disjointed, disconnected, makes-no-sense-and-doesn't-even-flow-with-the-story loose ends. Although it was interesting seeing the different "kills", they were nothing original and the movie itself turned out to be a complete waste of time.

**SPECIAL NOTE** It was a true surprise and a delight to see - in the role of the elderly customer Mr. Abernathy during the opening scene - Emil Sitka, from the old _Three Stooges_ series. I actually burst out laughing when he yelled out _"Hold hands, you lovebirds!"_ Classic!!!!
