One New Year's Eve a group of parents party, while their six kids make prank calls to random people. This ends in a bloodbath, when one of the victims decide to perpetrate revenge by chopping up all the adults in the household with an axe and letting the children live. Ten years later the killer seems to have returned and is now aiming each of the survivors separately. The foregone conclusion of the murders take place in a graduation party, which slowly but surely becomes a teen slasher movie...
After starting off with some undisputed promise with a rather shocking and visceral opening sequence the movie quickly drifts into teenage slasherland with a spice of "Scream". The plot is nonsensical and basically derivative with a very poorly devised baddie. What's worse the perpetrator of the original crime never shows up and remains a gimmick used solely to start off the movie. None of the characters really click and by the time body-count starts amassing you can't be bothered and actually seem a bit thankful that irritating useless characters are being disposed of in prompt fashion.
Some of the murders are well done (and gory enough to keep the blood pumping), even though several of them are basically winks to classical slashers in 'can you name from where we borrowed that scene?' An absolutely pointless and derivative flick with a shelf-life of milk.
Not even some decent albeit absolutely pointless Rutger Hauer cameo can make a turd into a piece of cake. It makes it look better, but it still tastes of crap.
