Plots(1)
A group of friends are bound for a horror-themed Halloween event at a local amusement park a sprawling labyrinth of rides, games, and mazes that travels the country and happens to be in town. But for one visitor, the ghoulish carnival of nightmares is not the attraction it is a hunting ground. On the night the friends attend, a masked serial killer turns the amusement park into his own playground, terrorizing attendees while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show. As the body count and frenzied excitement of the crowd continue to rise, who will fight to survive the night? (Vertigo Releasing)

An average slasher that had no business being in the cinema. but at home on TV, it's quite watchable and entertaining. The biggest upside is definitely the haunted amusement park of horror, which has solid rides, scary scenes and good make-up effects (I would definitely be scared there too), the likeable female cast and the original mask of the killer, that's where the good stuff ends for me. The biggest downside is the reprehensible lack of gore, the blood is completely forgotten and the murders are among the most ordinary, which is the biggest problem with slasher films. The soundtrack gets annoying after a while and the girls don't show anything, so the only reason to see the film is the great amusement park, which manages to keep your attention, but otherwise it's not worth much. 50%

A group of teenagers gets slashed at a horror festival, and since Lucie Vondráčková is among them, it’s clear that the little bit of blood is diluted marmalade! Filmed a hundred times before and better, drowned in neon lights, strobe effects, boring characters, and limited creativity from the creators (even the costumes and sets are recycled from existing amusement parks and haunted houses in Georgia). The killer's mask named "The Other" has some merchandise potential, but that's where the commercial "screaming" effort probably ends.
