"An Austrian slasher flick, and a horrible sequel..."

The Hidden Gem:
Dead in 3 Days (2006)
The Master says:"Sure it's an Austrian rip off of I Know What You Did Last Summer, but it was a much better flick. It's typical slasher stuff, no more, no less, but it had some things about it that made it great like the cinematography (the scenery was just gorgeous), and the acting was solid, which is fairly rare for slasher fare (that rhymed.) The third act was truly creepy too, and made the movie for me. Many will dismiss this as a simple slasher flick, but I loved it."


The Train Wreck:
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)
The Master says:"After a pretty good remake of the original movie in 2006, we got this Swamp Donkey tossed in our laps a year later. Gone are the likable characters, tension, and terrifying mutants of the first movie, replaced with hate-able characters, blandness, and uninspiring mutants of the sequel. The best way to describe this one, is it should have been a Sci-Fi Channel (Syfy, whatever) movie, as it totally felt like one. Back in the 80's, the original sequel to the original HHE sucked too, so maybe it's just a karma thing. "
