Review:
Overall, this was a fun if somewhat flawed feature. When this one works best is the general setup to the chaos that goes on which has a lot to like. The setup involving the series of crackpot political and social theories designed to instigate rebellion and confrontational measures amongst her followers against the authority requiring a psychotic be unleashed upon her is quite intricate and well-laid-out involving several layers and rants to make the point known. That this turns the film into a solid slasher effort involving the deformed killer chasing her down through the house and surrounding woods is quite effective and generally fun with several nice cat-and-mouse stalking scenes and brutal gore. They all manage to generate quite a lot to like here.
There's not much holding it back but it does have some problems. The biggest factors here stem from the confrontational political rants that are at the center of the film which might be too much for some to handle. The controversial opinions spouted here, especially without any kind of reprisal from others on the opposite side of the spectrum, can easily be off-putting for those with polarizing opinions on the subject since the politics are so one-sided. This is necessary to get the film rolling but their general presence, as well as the brevity of this one with the amount of time to bring this issue out, mean that there's little about who the killer is and get more of a genre feel to things that can hold this one back.
Overview: ***/5
An overall solid if somewhat flawed politically-charged slasher, this one comes off decent enough for fans of this style while also being aware of the controversial nature of the film. Those that are intrigued by the concept of this one, fans of indie slasher efforts, or are fans of the creative crew will like this the most while most others who aren't into those factors or turned off by the flaws should avoid this one.
