Austin (David Samson) is about to get married, and thus his ex Jennifer
(Elley Ringo) goes to his bachelor party to confess her undying love to
him ... but she doesn't really get far because before they can seriously
talk, Austin's best friend, bitchy Angel (Jasmine Berber), packs Austin
and his best friends, Jennifer included into a party bus to take the party
on the road. And as a special surprise, Angel has also brought Sean (L.C.
Holt), Austin's estranged and thought missing brother to the event. Thing
is, after a few minutes of brotherly bonding, Sean turns weird, starts
insulting the other guests - and soon stabs pregnant Shandon (Chelsea
Claire), then cuts out her unborn baby. You see, Sean has heard that his
brother, nowadays a wealthy man, has been taken advantage by all his best
friends, and since he claims that Austin is just too nice a guy, he has
decided to stand up for Austin and force the truth out of the party guests
or punish them violently. Now sure, Austin's friends make attempt after
attempt to overcome Sean or at least make a getaway, but he seems to be
prepared for all eventualities, so after many more dead bodies, the
survivors decides it's better to spill the truth than end up slaughtered -
but truth can be a very subjective thing ... A delightfully
mean film, mean not only because it dishes out violence in quite healthy
doses, and rather explicitely so, but because it also understands how to
shift sympathies, gradually blurring the line between victim and
perpetrator while also proving that in times of despair, human can be
their own worst enemy. And that the film's very well-paced and has
suspense and outbursts of brutality in all the right moments only help to
make this a very exciting and slightly disturbing piece of genre cinema.
