Oh dear...who wrote this mess. -1 Star for the stupid stupid reaction of the mother to the daughters distress!!! +1 Star For the Cool Mask!!!! Oh masks!!! -1 Star for the stupidity of the mask wearer!!! Omg seriously??? lol -1 Star LOL...Mom crushed own son with Bat.. OKay done with this One!! Absolute GARBAGE. OR as they say in Wales where this was filmed, RUBBISH!!!! Didn't make it past the stupid cliff. It fell off the cliff halfway through!! I recommend the filmmakers , backers, actors, everyone involved in this garbage proceed immediately to the emergency exit of movie making!!! Is there 0 Stars???

I have rated so far many films but I never gave 1 to any... but this one ... does not deserve even rating 1, but ZERO! So, killers are entering a house and mother and daughter do not know how to fight back? Mother has a bat lying on the floor but she is looking for something else??? She knocked down one killer and she is stepping over him and goes into the corridor without taking off his mask to see who is he ?????????????!!!!!!!! Is this even real? Wouldn't that be the 1st thing to do if someone masked enters your house and is lying unconscious on the floor?????? Daughter is being tortured by killers and mother is ... what ... this is so bad that I find myself silly for doing/writing anything. The interview led by the cop or whatever... Was that a joke? Was that a big joke? The other daughter is entering the house with eyes closed?????!!!!!! Only to see her mother and brother killed on the floor with a friend and she does what next ????!!!! Enters more into the house? Really??? And the song at the end of the film. Pathetic! Really, this film - based on true story - does have an intriguing story but everything about it is BAD BAD beyond bad! My rating is ZERO! 1 is too kind.

WHY DID YOU PORTRAY SUE AS A GREASY FLAMING RED HAIRED MORON WITH A COCKNEY BRITISH ACCENT!? Number one, please don't shoot a film based on an incident that occurred in California with actors that have EXTREMELY THICK COCKNEY BRITISH ACCENTS then try to MASK said cockney accents with American southern accents. This took place in CALIFORNIA. Californians don't have southern accents in the first place and JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE BROKE DOES NOT RENDER YOU SUDDENLY WITH THE VERNACULAR OF A HILLBILLY. Sue Sharp was born in Springfield, Massachusetts (where I live, by the way, hint) and had just moved her family from Connecticut (which is on the boarder of Springfield, MA) to NORTHERN CALIFORNIA where no one sounds like a hick. The people involved with this story didn't sound like hicks. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THEM APPEAR TO BE BRAINLESS HICKS? You've insulted their memory. Next, if insulting their memory was not bad enough, this is the world's slowest moving film. Where did they get the idea that a lunatic wore a clown mask? And a white-faced fair haired child mask from The Village of The Damned? Back in 1981 AND YES, I WAS ALIVE IN 1981 masks such as were used in the movie didn't even exist yet save for special effect work and even then they were hundreds of dollars. It wasn't until the late 1990's to mid 2000's when masks like that made it to your local Hot Topic. RESEARCH ASSISTANTS EXIST FOR GOOD REASON, I SUGGEST THE DIRECTOR PROCURE ONE ASAP. Next, the "slasher scenes" were absolutely absurd. While the series of events was somewhat SIMILAR to detectives' theories, the movie itself had absolutely no historical accuracy. The atmosphere and set design did not look anything like the cabin, the actors do not represent the actual victims and the actual backstory of what really went on that week and that night was completely ABSENT. They seemed to have taken a story, changed it up and created a slow moving pointless plot-less I don't know what this mess is. While some films are low budget they can be excellent hidden gems this is just downright bad. Did you BOTHER TO RESEARCH THESE MURDERS or did you just watch a special on Unsolved Mysteries about it and decide to make a movie with a camcorder? If you want to know what actually happened at Keddie, just do some basic research and watch some actual interviews. This was just...bad.

BAN Director: Andrew Jones Writer: John Klyza from ever making a movie again, this so called movie complete Garbage from the very beginning to the very end .

This could have been so much better, the acting was terrible so wooden. The mother was annoying, in-fact all the characters were dull as dishwater.The most scariest thing about this movie is, it's based on a actual murder of, Glenna Sue Sharp (née Davis), known as Sue (age 36), her son John (age 15), and his friend, Dana Wingate (age 17), the youngest daughter's skull was found two years later miles from the house her family were murdered in, no-one had been charged with the murders. They had all the ingredients for a brilliant movie, to give some understanding what this family went through, instead the roles were given to untalented nobody's who are in need of a good acting coach

This is the first time I feel compelled to review a film I haven't even finished watching, but with this one I have to. I simply cannot watch any more without sharing my annoyance of the characters and a couple of 'long scenes'. Well here is the spoiler so far, until 30min in: Woman moves away from trouble into a cabin. Lots of bad men around. One tries to con his way in, wearing a skeleton mask. Wow. He gets in anyway. Then the incredibly stupid decisions happen. I can't even be bothered to write them all out, needless to say that if you hit a dangerous intruder on the head and he is out, you don't leave the house as the mother, to get help and leave the guy on the floor with all the kids and leave him there untied, or really, really knocked out, you know, extremely! And then, as if the character knows just how little the perpetrator is knocked out, she tiptoes around him, she knows he could wake up from her foot steps alone...yeah, guess what? At that moment I gave up. Who wrote this? A 12 year old? Oh and the other thing is the 'long scenes'. They are scenes, right, that are veeeeery loooong, unnecessarily so. I guess the director wanted to convey some sort of emotion with them, but what they really did was made me fast forward. I will now continue this film with the knowledge I feel needed sharing. The fact that I am giving it another chance should help in some way to tell you it wasn't all THAT bad...but I don't think it will go over 3/10.

Like other reviewers, agree it's a bad ripoff of the strangers. Weak acting, stupid plot, and goofy conspiracy theories. Supposed to believe, a small town law officer is powerful enough to cover up a multiple homicide and quell a DOJ investigation. So stupid. It's annoying seeing such weak characters that you can't even root for their survival. And you're supposed to buy skull man getting cracked in the head with a bat wasn't fazed, and angry clown can be stabbed and still fully function?

I went into this expecting it to be based on the Keddie Murders, which is what it is said to be based on, and it's essentially coming to the point that there's no real correlation, though similarities; in addition to that, it's very poorly paced, the blood and gore is bad, the acting is atrocious, and it made me laugh just out of pure pity with how poorly the movie was executed. This movie is shameful, and I definitely do not recommend it. Only watch this if you hate your life.

I made it 41 minutes.....which I will never get back! The acting in this film, if you want to call it that, is ridiculously bad. Don't waste your time on this. It's a shame someone tried to pass this off as a "based on true events" movie. If I were a relative or family friend to the people who were killed in that cabin, I would be upset as how they portrayed them. Just don't waste your time.

Plot spoilers: A family moves from a trailer to a cabin. There is a brief introduction, but we don't get to know too much about them. Two male neighbors visit them, not overly friendly, and leave. The family is murdered by three people in masks. The two guys we saw earlier are interviewed by the police. The end. Based on a true story. It showed because it was fairly boring, mediocre acting due to lack of good imaginative dialogue. Guide: no swearing, sex, or nudity.
