Summary: A CARBON COPY OF I KNOW WHAT YOU DID...
Review: Boring and like most every other new horror movie. Lame mask,I think the awful movie Cut used this mask also,who cares I suppose. This goes with all the other pathetic new era horror movies(Scream,I Know What You Did,Valentine,Urban Legend,Cut etc..) so bottom line don't waste your time,stick with 80's Slashers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Final Stab
Review: Final Stab is a pretty decent film... sure the killer is stupid and has no motive what so ever... but it is a clone of every eighties horror movie mixed. Basically a snob wants revenge on her pretty sister and her sexy boyfriend so she sets up a whole ordeal. The evil sister invites her sister and BF to a private estate for a murder mystery weekend. The snobby sister gets a bunch of horney friends to pretend like someone is really slaughtering them... but then the blood is real. The friends are being slashed and butcher one by one. Who is the killer?
Overall it is most atmospherical to Friday the 13th so i do recomend this movie so go rent it and good luck.

Summary: Ugh!!! Not AGAIN!!!
Review: I knew how every little thing in this movie was going to play out, from scene one. There wasn't a tad bit of original thought used in the creation of this. The only "creative" (and I use this term loosely) bit in this movie was slightly altering the gender roles in the film. So instead of the women running around screaming, and half naked, the guys are. And the women get sliced up fairly quickly. The only thing that saves this movie from being a total waste is the good looking cast. Other than that...pure [uninterest]. Avoid at all cost. If you want a slasher film that revereses the gender roles, get Bleed. Even though that movie isn't that great it at least as some orignal bits in it, and also has a half way decent script.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unoriginal to a fault
Review: I wanted to give this DVD 2 stars fo reffort, but I could not do it in good conscience. First of all, this DVD has no special features. No commentary, no trailer, no options of any sort at all. This was no a gory film, people got stabbed for the most part. Nothing creative went into this film at all. There were creative blood splatters in places that defy the law of physics, so I will give them credit for that.

Director David DeCoteau has been criticized for two things: a lack of originality and a lack of homage to the fans that have put him on the map. This film basically used the plot of April Fool's Day with the characters and scenes from Prison of the Dead (in fact it is almost hard to differenciate the two films). He brings back Bradley Stryker from Brotherhood. No surprise there after all the fan mail he got, thanks to the most incredible body on film. However, he did not put it to as much use in this film (another let down).

DeCoteau has not put out a good film yet, but the homoerotic content of Voodoo Academy made it a hit. He tried to repeat this in the Brotherhood series, but stayed away from anything that could be interpreted as gay- simply sticking to more basic male exploitation. The gay market put him on the map, but he began to distance himself from that market by never addressing that issue in his films and adopting a hands off policy between the guys. This film showcases the male body less than any of his others. However, two men do acknowledge their past sexual/romantic involvement. This is an improvement for him, despite the fact that the scene was taken EXACTLY from Prison of the Dead. His production company can greatly benefit from hiring a writer or someone who studied the horror genre. Until then, we await some quality work from Rapid Heart Productions.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It could have been better.
Review: It gets one star becouse and only becouse there where no computer FX used. There was hardly any FX at all! Odd little twist(if thats what you want to call it) at the end. If you love horror and have to see everything or if your girlfriend wants to see something "scary" then RENT it, but it is not something that should go in to your collection!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Looking forward to the Final Credits.
Review: The production and performances in 'Final Stab' are good. What brings the movie down is the characters. Within the first 10 minutes of meeting this self-obsessed, apathetic group of characters, I found myself rooting for the killer. The premise of the film is basic and unoriginal. An obnoxious woman (I am being kind) puts together a mystery weekend for her just as obnoxious friends (primarily getting all of them there by extortion). She has hired an actor to play a masked killer for the evening, but alas, a real killer has invaded the evening and they all still think the deaths are just good acting. One of the funniest scenes has the Brittney Spears wannabe approached by the killer, whom she thinks is the actor, and remarks (paraphrased) "Is this going to be messy?". As the killer is stabbing her, her boyfriend is watching from a window and is seriously impressed by her 'good performance'. 'Final Stab' is not poorly made, just poorly conceived. It is difficult to like a film when there are no characters to like. This is too bad, since with some character development and a less disjointed story they could have had a good movie; the basic ingredients were there.--Bob

Summary: KNIFE TO SEE YOU
Review: This is one of the "better" David DeCoteau movies. We have his usual studly and bosomy young cast, but he spares us the intolerable slowmos, and manages to build suspense, even with its derivative and threadbare plots. One of the characters is a big fan of the "Friday the 13th" movies, and she sums it up in only reinforcing this movie's roots.
A wealthy "bitch" stages a murder mystery weekend in order to split her sister and her boyfriend---a mental patient who witnessed the slaughter of his family. Of course, the play acting turns real when a real killer shows up. Jamie Gannon is Charlie, the aforementioned tragic hero; Melissa Renee Martin is his sweetie, Angela; Erinn Carter is the vixenish sister Kristen; Chris Boyd is best friend and former lover of Charlie; Bradley Stryker shows off his buff bod and poor acting chops; Laila Renee Landon shows off her beauty; Michael Lutz is the jock Steve who blows the whole surprise; and Forrest Cochran is Kristen's cuccolded hubby. Three other young men are thrown in for some ridiculous revenge reason, and serve nothing but to up the body count.
There are a couple of twists at the end, which is unusual for DeCoteau who is usually so straightforwardly cliche.
Not a great film by any means but one of the best in the homoerotic series concocted by DeCoteau.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible Movie, Bradley Stryker Get's The 1 Star
Review: This movie was so dumb and slow. Very bad picture quality and it is also fullscreen. It also has a storyline that we all have seen like a hundred times. I only gave it 1 star because I am a fan of Bradley Stryker. He should really consider some real movies instead of the B- movies for DeCoteau. You should see this movie just for the scenes with him. P.S. he is also in the first Brotherhood movie too, in case you didn't know.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible Movie, Bradley Stryker Get's The 1 Star
Review: This movie was so dumb and slow. Very bad picture quality and it is also fullscreen. It also has a storyline that we all have seen a hundred times. I only gave it 1 star because I am a fan of Bradley Stryker, he is so hot. Look at his abs, muscles, and hot face. I tell my friends about him and they think that he is hot too. I am teen guy and I want to be like him. He should really consider some real movies instead of the B- movies for DeCoteau. You should see this movie just for the scenes with him. He is also in the first Brotherhood movie.
