| User ReviewFabien DGreat horror movie. unspeakable fear, lots of surprises in store if you enjoy horror. |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder S67% It had a gay aura about, but I enjoyed the twist ending. |
| User ReviewMark RDavid DeCoteau changes the horror formula from breasts to boys in their underwear. |
| User ReviewNick JVery hokey and completely unconvincing. On the plus side, decent acting and some scary moments. A bit gory, too bad the story is so dumb. Really bad writing. What else is there to say? |
| User ReviewKevin HAs a former high school wrestler, a movie centered around a wrestling team would normally be good viewing....not in this case. This movie made me mad in ways other crappy movies didn't. Its a shame because i wanted to like this movie too. The plot is (at the beginning anyway) a high school wrestler killed a kid during a match and is forced to relocate as part of therapy. He moves with his mother to a nowhere town where the popular kids are on the wrestling team (wish I went to this school) Strange things begin to happen and a group of weirdos dressed in black slaughter all the freaks and geeks around school. The plot thickens and the wrestler has to decide who to fight for, the freaks or the jocks. This movie was a big let-down. I know it was a crappy B-movie but at least since it had some wrestling in it they should have at least had some action. I mean I was hoping at the end of the movie the main character would wrestle the captain of the wrestling team/murder squad for the right to live or something. Instead we get an axe to the back and a Sixth Sense ripoff ending. Grrr....I could have written a better script 2 out of 5 |

| User ReviewJennie RIt was frightening that I was able to sit through this entire stinker. The storyline was just plain dumb. The acting....oh wait....there was acting in this? I couldn't tell. Nothing about this was worth a positive comment. It really was trying to be cool but failed miserably. |
| User ReviewAdrian Fthe frightening is a very lame movie that is unscary, hokey, and unconvincing. the acting isn't good and the when you put the storyline together it doesn't make that much sense at all. there is barely any blood and the scares are all the same, and that is just a few jumpy parts and pop outs. |
