The tyranist's thoughts
Just a small, friendly warning: this was filmed on location and with local crew in the Phillipines. Now, that doesn't make it instantly terrible, but in the horror world, movies filmed in places where English is not the native tongue generally end up with poor delivery, even when they had a great idea. This is no exception. And the idea wasn't that good anyway.
If you rent this looking for a T & A slasher you will probably be disappointed a little. It appears older than its date and has less T & A than the title would imply, although I have to admit that I don't think any horror movie we have reviewed yet has quite the number of bare asses. Whatever turns you on. Rish has refused to let me rent this on more than one occasion and in retrospect he was right to deny me that priviledge. It was not really worth the time spent. I did enjoy the sets (since they were all tropical in nature) and they did have at least one minor surprise in the plot that worked pretty well. I'd still say you should stay away.
