The first half of this movie is decently good relative to the budget. The quality in the second half of the movie drops off exponentially as it runs. The movie then commits suicide by dragging the ending out to ridiculous lengths. Half way through the movie - 6 3/4 way through the movie - 5 Interminable ending - 3 All considered, this movie is a ~4

Violent movie, but with an interesting history, if you like horror movies go for it.

This movie follows the stories of several police, who often forget they have firearms, radios, and are really bad at chasing teenagers 5 to 15 feet away from them. One of the biggest complaints constantly lobbied at horror films is stupid main characters, and this point is only made more frustrating when the main characters are trained law enforcement officers. There are countless scenes where the movies eponymous villain taps his knife taunting the officers, who are all armed, and they don't shoot him. There is a scene where the cops don't call for back up or a hospital, stating instead, it will be faster if they drive... If you didn't want your main villain to just be shot and have it ended to early... than maybe have him face less armed foe like teenagers instead. Otherwise, the acting was mostly fine, the camera work was fair.. Just a very dumb film.
