This isn't a movie, this is propaganda.

This has got to be one of the very worst "horror films" I've ever seen. This is a totally toothless, man-bashing excuse of a slasher movie.

Seriously, who the fuck signed off on this piece of shit? The ONLY good thing about this movie is that, by comparison, it makes the 2006 Black Christmas look like a horror classic.

Don't watch it. Burn it.

Second on my "fine, I'll watch it while self-isolating" list.

Sucked. I don't mind propaganda, but in this case the "themes" made it extremely to predict the entire movie, which is not good. Worse than that, though, the horror sequences were just incredibly lazy and the first and third acts were truly awful.

I liked the one actor, Brittany O'Grady. She had some Olivia Hussey vibes and was a good presence.

Cary Elwes deserves better.

It's a shame, because writer/director Sophia Takal's 2016 movie Always Shine was a really neat one.

Question: is it just the one frat who want (sorority) girls to be sex slaves and rape /assault victims? Does the one frat really run the college, and if so, why did the college want to get rid of the cursed bust of the patriarchal  leader from yesteryear? What's with the bows and arrows? Why did they kill Nate, if they have the subliminal messages that could manipulate young men? Why is it this film doesn't even take place at Christmas?

A slasher film scared to show much slashing.
On the nose with its preaching, no subtext.
Putting agendas ahead of characters and story.
Missed opportunities.

Cary Elwes must be broke.

This is among the five worst films we’ve ever seen.  Cary Elwes must be flat busted. Oh how the mighty have fallen. This mess is boring, poorly scripted, pointless and a waste of good film stock. I can't even think of any clever insults for it.  It's the pits. 8)-A
