Nicer Review (but still hated it.)

Warning: Spoilers
People were offended by my first review, so I will try to be nicer this time.

This movie really isn't very good because it is just full of typical horror movie clichés.

To wit- "victims" are picked off and yet the rest of the characters are unaware of their danger.

Everyone has video-cameras that they continue to use even when they are in mortal danger of losing their lives. (Again, a trend started by the "Blair Witch Project" and continued with films such as "Cloverfeild" and "Quarentine".) It strains credulity because your last reaction to "Someone is trying to KILL me" is "I'd better get this all down on tape!"

Oh, yeah, let's not forget the "My Cell Phone doesn't work out here" device. Because I guess screen writing is still caught in the 1980's, before 4G network coverage. Because "Working Cell Phone > mad killer", unless you cheat.

But the main problem with the film is that the Suicide Girls themselves are such unpleasant, unlikeable people that you simply don't care if they get killed or not. There is no one in the film to root for. Most films of this genre have a "Jamie Lee Curtis" character you kind of like. Not here.

The fact that not a one of them can act probably doesn't help matters all that much.
