There's a couple of lines at the start that sound like clues suggesting this might be something more than a mere home invasion slasher — perhaps an And Then There Were None-style mystery where family members gathered in a sprawling mansion are picked off one-by-bloody-one by a Mx X — but the leaden dialogue never lets up, the acting remains wooden, we never feel even remotely interested in the victims, and as the body count increases without there being anything clever whatsoever in the bloodletting, you'll stop wondering which one of the dead might actually still be alive and abandon hopes for a sensible twist — that the heroine is in on it or that it is Muffy or Buffy's April Fool's Day prank — in the knowledge this 2011 movie is in fact just a low-budget and unimaginative home invasion slasher, nothing more.
