Monday Movie Review - HACK!

Oookay.  Here we go again.  Six twenty-somethings go to a privately owned island (which is not much different from being "out in the middle of nowhere" - you still get no cell phone service) in order to do some research for their college classes.  They meet up with the owners, who are amateur filmmakers (aka "strange couple living there").  What the kiddoes don't know is that the filmmakers love to "recreate" their favorite horror movies, but without the special effects.  In other words, if a limb is cut off, they gleefully chop off a student's arm.

In some ways this movie is different from the usual "chase and slaughter" plot devices.  It was interesting to see who survived and why.  There's also a strange little plot twist, but overall the film is slow to get going, and the jokes are lame.

Overall, if you want a nice no-brainer movie, and you have a couple of hours to waste,  I recommend:
