Sequel????


Considering how well-thought out this movie was and how many potential genre conventions it brushed over (not to mention the sequel-specific conventions!), it sort of gives this movie the greatest narrative opportunity to have a sequel of any slasher film out there.

And yet I haven't heard a peep.

That's really disappointing. This film, even if it's not perfect, is one of the freshest most intelligent and most well-crafted "horror" films of the 21st century. It might not strictly count as horror, but it embraces its roots in a way common parodies (not including the abominations with "movie" in their titles) are loath to do. It didn't just deconstruct horror, it demonstrated it as well. Validated it, even - explaining away well-worn plotholes that the most famous slashers never bothered to explain themselves. How much did the marketing team fail that this didn't get the eyes it needed to make a sequel a possibility? Did they all die in a plane crash or something? Cuz I could sell this blindfolded, with my tongue cut out and my skin plagued with leprosy.


Seriously, how does Rob Zombie's bastardized Halloween Lame-tacular get rushed into a sequel, while this gem is allowed to fade into oblivion?!

I agree that this was an excellently put-together movie, but as far as a sequel, I don't think it's likely.

Sure he sits up on the autopsy table in the morgue at the end, but I think they were just doing that simply as another reference to the slashers it's based from, and not as a way to validate the choice of having a sequel.

It is a bit of a shame, though understandable, as the freshness of the idea would wear quickly with sequels. It's a shame that the movie was never really advertised, though I do my best by mentioning it to people I know. I'd reccomend the same to others who have seen the movie

Sits up on the autopsy table?? Was that after the credits? The version i watched ended with the burning building.

It was during the credits.


The cameras click.
We open up the lens and can't stop.

Not really sequel material, but I did really enjoy it.

You don't know by chance what the production budget on this flick was do you? I'd be surprised if it broke $1M.
