Kill Theory

Seven college aged kids just graduated and want to celebrate.  They go to a parents' lake house and unknowingly become part of a sadistic game of survival.  And it is not from all of the alcohol that they are drinking.

A climber killed his friends when the rope holding them was about to fray from the weight.  He decided to cut the trailing rope to kill his friends rather than have all of them perish together.  The psychiatrist that is evaluating him, wants to study him for another year before he is released back into society.  The events that take place next might be a year later or they might be the next day.  All I know is that this killer is not yet ready to be released.

The killer manages to follow these kids to the lake house and he performs his own experiment of survival on them.  After the first girl is killed, a video is played to explain the rules of the experiment.  If they all leave right then, they all will be killed.  If more than one person is alive at 6am, they all will be killed.  The object is to be the last one, and only one, alive at 6am.  He wants to see if their survival instincts surface.

One of the guys lets his emotions take over rather quickly after his best friend gets clamped by severe tire damage spikes.  He also kills his step sister after he determines that he wants to be the last one standing.  He dies along with the "fat" guy.  The remaining girls are pitted against one another because they both love the same boy, who also now happens to be the last boy standing.  Shots are fired, throats are strangled, abdomens are stabbed, and you have one survivor left at 6am.

It's a pretty good plot and I did like how there was not too much set up to the story.  I don't know what the story was lacking, but I felt that it lacked something.  Maybe more interaction with the killer, I don't know.  Just something.

Overall, this is not that bad of a movie.  And we also have a Medusa's Face alumni, from Weirdsville, Taryn Manning.  This movie still needed more gore or some gratuitous nudity.  Something.  This is going to kill me to try and figure out what this movie lacked.

I give this movie 1 out of 5 sunken boats.
