Viewing Notes
I’d like to know the real reason why DeCoteau used an alias on so many films in the nineties.
This one is riding the wave of that started with Scream: put a bunch of young people together in a horror situation. As a Full Moon title it’s stripped to the bone down to a sixty minute runtime after the opening and closing credits. Feels like an episode of a tv series.
It’s not a bad premise but just needed a little more round out what is happening to these people. For these movies I’d love to hear a short explanation from DeCoteau on what exactly went down.
