Slow, sloww, sloooooowwww. Did I mention that it's .... what's the word.... slow? I literally dozed during a scene where Kristen (Liv Tyler) hides from the killers as one of the killer meanders back and forth past Kristen.
This slasher movie is "inspired" by a true story. I got into a discussion about the difference between "inspired" and "based on" movies with a friend. He insisted that it was the same thing. I told him I believed "inspired" is more loosely based on the real story than "based on". Can anyone confirm that? Anyway, this "inspired" movie follows a couple, Kristen (Tyler) and James (Scott Speedman), the night James proposes to Kristen (and gets turned down!). I would have liked to have seen more about the couple, but it was a slasher flick, so plot development was at a minimum. The villains also ham for camera which was ridiculous since they were supposed to be terrorizing the couple, not the audience! And to top it all off, the killers left enough evidence for even Barney Fife to catch them!
