Annoying characters and camera work, but it has a decent concept and setting

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2016)

It isn't a entirely something new when it comes to the slasher horror genre, but it is a watchable take on it. So the plot is about a amateur punk rock band group trying to get a gig. And they are desperate enough to even play in a neo nazi pub. However when the members witnesses a murder go down, things start to get really dark for the group. And thus a game of trying to survive by outwitting the people that are trying to kill them by hiding and playing fire with fire. Like I said there wasn't anything new to this genre. But what did stand out to me was how they try to fight against fear because one of the character remembers a past event. When it comes to the violence it is brutal, but doesn't come across as all that realistic. Not because of the blood and gore but because of how the characters try to handle themselves against violence. The acting ain't bad, but when it comes to violence it's like they were just asking to get picked off. I know they probably wasn't going for a overly serious direction despite the circumstance and situation but it does get annoying to watch sometimes. I did think the set up when it comes to the premise, like the title was sort of unique in a way. However the characters that are trying to survive just came off annoying and the build up of the characters was just poorly done. It would have been at least somewhat interesting if the punk band pulled some creative stuff as a group to fight back and escape. But since they were all so darn unlikable. I just didn't care when most of them got picked apart early on when the chaos started because of poor decision making. I also thought the pacing was poorly put together, especially when things start to get dark. There just wasn't any tension or suspense. So when someone gets killed off, you as the audience is just like *hmm*. Overall, I give this movie a 5 out of 10 because of the concept and the somewhat immersive visuals. Although the camera work got annoying during the violent scenes.
5.5/10
