| fairly decent low-budget horror flick
An enigmatic and seemingly psychotic stranger (Bill Moseley) crashes a home-coming get together among some friends in Alabama. Brandishing a suitcase full of razorblades, he demands that everyone at the party give him the name of someone that they truly despise, which they very reluctantly do, but when they people named begin to die the friends become fearful for their own lives because one of them made a flippant comment at the party. Now they have to come up with a plan to survive, with the help of a chili-loving redneck gun enthusiast (Tom Towles).

Aside from Moseley and Towles, the acting from most of the others is pretty dire (Especially Matt Lero as Timmy, who seems content to channel Eric Freeman's 'acting chops' as Ricky from Silent Night Deadly Night 2). However this is easily overlooked as the movie is more or less just so much gory, weird fun and left me impressed.

Eye Candy: XZanthia and an extra get topless and make out; Tiffany Shepis also loses her shirt

My Grade: B-

DVD Extras: Commentary with Director Adam Wingard and writer/ producer E. L. Katz; deleted opening sequence; Bill Mosley interview segment; 'In a room where darkness counts' featurette; and 3 short films ("the Girlfriend", "1,000 year sleep" & "Laura Panic")

Trivia

During an 2004 interview, Tiffany Shepis explained how she got cast. "It was really weird. I got this call and I probably get like five of these a month. Some young kid fresh out of film school, whose like 'you're so hot' and 'I really love you' shit and 'we want you in our movie' and I'm like cool, alright and they send a script and I say yeah sounds cool, a lot of fun. And I give them my rates, and, of course, it never happens. So I got this call and these guys in Alabama are like, 'we love you and we want to put you in a movie with Bill Moseley and Tom Towles.' And I'm like yeah sure. I give them my rates and like a week later they send me a plane ticket and hotel and I was like wow. They are like eighteen years old. We went out to Alabama and we shot these crazy scenes. Not much of a story line but a big shit pile of gore and I got to work with Bill."
