Dumb premise, cheap horror (spoiler)

Spoiler Alert:

The motivation of the murderers is just lazy, it doesn't make much sense and it isn't even explained a lot. Basically the old people are just jelaous of the young sexually active people, but they don't elaborate.

It's one of the movies where you already know what's going to happen, and that the group is going to die one by one. Cheap horror, you don't need to think a lot and it's not scary.

The acting sucks and some of the deaths are lazy as well. For example, the pornographer "producer" could have survived that attack. Also, unrealistic because the screams of the first attacked people would have been enough to wake up the rest.

Totally disagree. I think it is a great premise and really well made.

The motivations of at last one of the murderers is probably explained in "Pearl" (that I haven't seen yet).

"It's one of the movies where you already know what's going to happen, and that the group is going to die one by one."
Well... isn't that how most —if not all— slasher movies are done? I don't know what you complain about. The picture of the movie is obvious about what the viewer is getting himself into. So... why choose to watch this movie if you don't like the genre (unless someone else dragged you along to watch it too)?

And I personally think the actors did quite alright. Your strong dislike of this movie is probably tainting how you feel about the actors performances.
