Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Michael Ledo The title is a pun as a paint brush is used to paint pictures of the victims with their blood. The cheerleaders are never in cheerleader outfits, nor do they ever take a shower. The do parade around in swim suits for a large part of the movie, which held my attention as well as their playing an idiotic game of "Truth or Dare." But alas, without a pillow fight, their antics failed to provide the right stimulation. Roger Corman where are you?The horribly done flashback scenes contained some of the worse acting since "Twilight." Did you count how many pictures the pervert took before he had to reload his camera? What was that, about 200 pictures?$1.99 to watch this film is too much. In fact you would have to pay me to sit through this thing again. Rent something else. The movie is a tease, but doesn't please.
zoetroph2006 About 32 minutes into this film, the scene where the guy comes over to hang out with the 5 cheerleaders, and 2 of the girls lay on the floor and try to flip the other over in some kind of cheerleader move, anyway as they get up, and the camera stays on them, if you look screen left you will see an overweight camera man on his knees crouched at the end of the couch. At first I thought it was Hillbilly Wayne the auto mechanic with his camera, but rewind shows otherwise.The continuity in this film was possibly the worse I have ever tried to follow in a B movie. Flashbacks, fast forwards, trying to tell a story, but it is so disjointed it really makes it hard to follow. Cute if not entirely predictable ending.I have to say it still puzzles me why 5 girls would want to party in a dilapidated old house. Especially these 5 who seemed like they walked out of a Teen Glamour shoot and would not be caught dead (pardon the pun) in a run down :haunted: mansion.I don't think the movie is a total loss, I still enjoyed it for what it was. Since I cannot make a movie I don't feel I should be critiquing others so harshly. Small budgets sometimes are the blame,other times it's the writing or the acting. In this case, probably a little of all three.
johannes2000-1 This movie is like a rocky boat that sets off boldly but soon makes water and in the end sadly sinks like a stone.The ingredients are OK: five pretty girls, high on hormones, who go out partying in this luxurious remote villa; some creepy locals (one lecherous, one retarded); a mysterious but hunky bachelor boy-next-door who flirts with the girls; and an abandoned haunted house in the vicinity. But it's like the pieces of a potentially good puzzle that are put together in the wrong way, they just don't fit.First of all: these five girls all are more or less interchangeable, there's no character-description or development whatsoever, so you have hardly any reason to sympathize with anyone of them. Are they really cheerleaders? They never once talk about it. What in the world makes them go to that remote place?! There's absolutely nothing to party at all, just a house and a pool, so that's all they seem to do: swim, sunbathe, sleep. No (visible) boozing, no drugs, no wild music and dance, no nothing. Then they are supposed to be sassy, but all they do to prove this is that they play some lame version of truth or dare that could have passed censorship in a catholic convent, even though they're in their underwear and in the company of the hunky boy-next-door. That's the next improbability that made me suspect him from the start. Here you (young and handsome stud) are in the company of a bunch of partying young girls that circle around you in their flimsy bikini's and underwear and you have nothing on but your baggy wet shorts and then you behave like you're someone's little baby brother?!? Every other self-respecting horror-flick should have come-up at this point with some hot scenes of making out and bare boobs, but not here.The other ingredients of the story don't ever seem to blend during the bulk of the movie, they're only tied together in the end as if the writer suddenly thought that there shouldn't be any loose ends when the audience goes home. The lecherous mechanic from the beginning of the movie doesn't play any role in the rest of it, we just find him back in the end as a corpse. The flash back of him butchering some other lost kids is totally superfluous to the story. The weird man in the haunted house, who's kept hidden for some time as the mysterious force that's responsible for the disappearance and killing of some of the girls, come's totally out-off the blue, it's no-one we've seen before, so how can we relate to his presence and actions? Movies like this traditionally have to have a last grand twist, that should make you jump up just before the lights go on again, and they DO give it a try here, but I saw it coming from the beginning and I'm mostly the last to know things like that.The only decent thing in this movie is the flash backs to the kid-brothers, where the vicious one plays "prove how much you love me!" and really causes some chills on your spine. But the rest of the supposed horror was lost on me. We never see a real graphic kill, and the victims just hang around a table in some sort of comatose way while being drained of their blood (what's the use of THAT??). The acting and the direction are mediocre at best, it's like no-one really believed in the whole thing and just went through the motions the director asked them to.But hey, I DID like the house (the neat villa, not the haunted one). It deserved a better movie.
lilshyviolette-1 The case quoted one plot while the movie was well barely similar.Case" Five cheerleaders spend the night in an abandoned farmhouse and find themselves up against a vengeful ghost.They soon find out the spirit is from a dead boy who painted a portrait of the brother he killed forty years earlier." OK now while there are 5 girls that come off as sluts it is never really clear that they are cheerleaders. The first 2/3 of the film is spent watching them swim and party. This has an R rating but comes off like middle school porn! There is an occasional flashback of a demented older brother making the younger one kill a cat and play some awful how much do you love me game and than suggesting that the younger brother kill their father.You do see paintings, that appear to be made with blood, of what we can only assume are other victims. BUT lets make things very clear, there is no GHOST the killing brother is alive and well killing more people and evidently has a couple of sons.If this movie had delivered the plot the case claims it had, perhaps it would have been worth watching.
