Synopsis

The newlyweds Adjie and Astrid decide to go on a road trip along with three of their best friends. Their drive is however cut abruptly when they run into Maya, a beautiful girl who wanders aimlessly into their path out of nowhere. All she says is that she was robbed. The friends decide to give her a ride to her isolated house by the end of the woods where she lives with her family. Her courteous mother insists that their kindness should be acknowledged by a feast in their honour. This is where the night turns into a crimson-hell for the friends. —mostra.org

Bad acting, bad directing and insignificant gore. Waste of time.

Cliched but holy fucking shit, it gets straight its point, a bloody and messy slasher film. It goes to the point where no one walk properly because of all the blood, which almost none of the other modern day slasher films are able to do.

Whatever the snobbish murmured about 'cliche way' 'the standart of horror formula' etc, i still grounded myself to this flick and never be profaned. Its a full set of 80's supremacy and American Grindhouse all the way!
