28/04/12 Frayed (2007)

Cross between Halloween (the first one), Swithblade Romance and assorted other stabby thrill-flicks.

The very start of the film has a savage and (if you're a softy bender) disturbing murder scene that, from an effects point of view, is flippin' amazing. Guess it all depends on how much pleasure you get from watching an innocent woman get her boat mashed. If you've seen the knockabout, slapstick French comedy 'Irreversible', you'll probably be able to picture the sort of thing.

For the first hour Frayed is a killer-on-the-loose effort that exceeds its low-end production costs, although the main twist is more obvious than sunrise.

The last half hour really slides down the shitpole and ruins it. And then throws in three or four more terrible twists that appear to have been made up as the cameras rolled.

4.5/10
