8/10
Fun shoot 'em up
2 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
First of all let's not harbor any illusions. This is not a high-budget feature film! That being said those of you who can appreciate good work and don't demand that this movie rival a multi-million dollar production will be able to appreciate what Kyle Day and his crew have accomplished.

The movie itself starts fairly slow but picks up quickly and within 30 minutes or so Cherry and her brother are on a full blown killing rampage with some very exciting executions perpetrated on some very believable scumbags. Important to the development of her character is that Cherry's anger remain righteous lest she becomes like her tormentors. In one particular scene Cherry is about to make another kill on someone less than deserving but at the last moment is unable to, thereby retaining her humanity. (Good job Aaron Alexander). The killing continues as the stakes and the body count grow ever higher until the final showdown. I'll stop there but I will say that at the very end one particular kill made me jump out of my seat it was so cool. You'll know it when you see it. The soundtrack is all original and Jason Latimer should be commended.

Overall this feature film puts new faces to a well filmed storyline but has elements of gore and humor in unsuspecting places.

Well done.
