A bunch of kids go to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras after having won
the trip on a radio show, and the first set-back is that they are not
actually staying in New Orleans but some remote holiday resort quite a few
miles away from the city with none of the nightlife that was promised to
them. This is only a minor setback though compared to the fact that there is a
voodoo-killer let loose on the premises who kills them one by one ... and
soon the number of the kids is down to three, Squid (Chris McDaniel), his
new girlfriend Danielle (Brunhilda Zekthi), and her best friend Asia
(Sacha Crutchfield), who follow clue after clue to find out what's really
going on, but when they finally manage to figure out who the actual killer
of the piece is - one of their tour guides - they also have to find out
they have been drugged and are about to be zombified ... and when they
finally come to again, they find themselves entombed in a crypt - but at
least Squid and Danielle can finally make out ... A piece of
low budget horror that unfortunately enough takes no risks at all, it just
follows the rules of the slasher genre to the t, both on a narrative and a
directorial level, and considering the slasher genre has not much to offer in
terms of originality as a rule, this film hasn't either. Also, the total
lack of interesting characters keeps this one from really kicking into
gear. It seems that only towards the end, the writers and director tried
to break away from the slasher-mold a little bit and added a few jokes
(including the happy ending in a crypt) - but that's a bit too
little too late to save the film as a whole.
