Scream Park

Halloween is over, but that doesn't mean that you can't watch a good, or in the case of Scream Park, a bad horror flick.  Scream Park has all of the makings of a great scary movie, but falls short, due to some really poor acting.  The movie is about a group of teens and their boss, that get trapped inside an amusement park, with a masked killer.  As you would expect, this one is a slasher film.  The kill scenes are okay, but come off a little cheesey due to the special effects. 

It is one of those films that is trying to be more serious, than cheesey, but because of the poor acting, the cheese starts to ooze.  As I said, the story line is cool, which brings back memories of classic 80's slasher flicks, but the actors just could not get it done.  The bright spots of the movie came from the cameo from Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) as well as Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy) apprearance. This one would be a good rental, with a cooler full of beer.

Bottom Line: Scream Park is not terrible, but it ain't that great either.  This one would have might have worked with better actors and a bigger budget.

-Ragman was hoping for more from this one.
