Dumb but entertaining. Were the masked guys former Navy Seals??


This wasn't a waste of time to watch if you're into the good-bad genre of mindless horror thrillers.

I assumed the movie would take the dark angle and have both lead characters get killed, so when they successfully fought back that was a twist, I guess.

The masked guys must have been really confident in their ability to out run, out maneuver and out fight in hand-to-hand combat any of their victims. Didn't they ever run into a guest with pepper spray or some physical training? So that's why I'm wondering if they're supposed to have had some kind of special forces training.

It was kind of dumb how much they toyed with their victims given that this was all just a business to the bad guys, but I guess they wanted to get them worked into a hysteria to make the snuff film more riveting.
