Amber Heard stars as Mandy Lane, an untouchable Texas high-school beauty who is invited by her classmates to a weekend getaway at a secluded ranch. But as the sun goes down and the party rages on, the festivities take a disturbing turn. And for lovely Mandy Lane, a night of endless horror has just begun. (Via Vision Entertainment)

Not a dud, neither a gem, just a slightly above-par teenage slasher. What’s good is that the kids are quite bearable and I didn’t explicitly wish death to any of them. The film is not precisely brimming with inventiveness, the murders are unoriginal, even if some of them look that they will be, but then puff! and that’s it. The ending is quite good (though very predictable), if anything, because it has a decent amount of brutality. I’d also praise the music, which adds a bit of a summer atmosphere and made me stay for some of the end credits. I could give it four stars, but only if I hadn’t seen the twist coming even before I put the film on (and I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case for more horror fans). So, in the end 55%. It’s in the same league as Prom Night, but a couple of rungs higher in the ranking.

There was hardly any story, and it was as shallow as lake Balaton. The screenwriter should kick his own ass for those dialogues (and not just for them). The director didn't exactly bring his A-game either. Instead of a horror atmosphere, it was mind-numbingly boring.

Mandy Lane is played by Amber Heard, an actress I don't like very much and never did like. In fact, I don't see anything interesting about her in 2006 or today. Just like she's uninteresting, this film is uninteresting too.
