Tyler Shields directs Abigail Breslin, Alexander Ludwig and Wes Bentley in this tale of young lady raised and trained to turn the tables on a group of male slashers. 

A nice little concept, made on the cheap (all though the director clearly embraces this, almost celebrating the artificiality of the sets). The kind of movie that exists only in it own little world, so that unbelievable logic or behaviour can be overlooked by the generous viewer, just like the fake trees and secret base that quite clearly is a late night car park structure. Breslin and Bentley have a nice dynamic (think Batman Begins if Bruce Wayne had a teenage crush on Ra’s al Ghul… and who is to say he didn’t?). Once we are let loose into the woods the stalk and slash sequences go for invention rather than tension, and yet somehow end up repetitive. A diverting throwaway horror, that had the potential to be even more given the central conceit and decent acting talent, you could still do a lot worse at this murky end of the genre.
