Directed by James Edward Cook. Written by Cook and Karen Taylor. Starring Charlotte Atkinson, Elsie Bennett, Lorna Brown, Mark Chatterton, Orla Cottingham, William Holstead and Danny Webb.
Plot: a diverse group of friends gather for the holidays in a remote lodge, but their fun soon turns into a deadly nightmare.
In the UK, six friends get together for the holiday to party, party, party. That night after they go to bed, something happens to Hugo (Holstead), all the cars get vandalized and the phone goes dead. They find Hugo’s body outside, but then McKenzie (Atkinson) sees a Hugo type person who tells her lies and the movie gets really, really strange.
We liked Jo (Cottingham), but Anita (Brown) pissed us off to no end with all her psycho babble. McKenzie’s a lot stupid and that’s also annoying. There’s this subplot that has to do with McKenzie’s long dead twin, but it has essentially nothing to do with the actual plot, so why the hell do we need it? There was also no rules.
Sad to say, DJ would walk out of the room before watching it again. Me, I actually didn’t mind it until the end happened. I think, in the words of my brother, it really shit the bed. Watch at your own peril.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
