Red Hook (2009)
Horror/Thriller Rated R
Plot
Ten years after witnessing her older sister's brutal murder, Jenny Traylor leaves her hometown in North Carolina to start her freshman year at the University of New York City. Still traumatized by her sister's death and struggling with crippling agoraphobia, Jenny tries to cope with the overwhelming city and figure out her new life. When Jenny's over-enthusiastic Resident Advisor organizes a Welcome Week scavenger hunt, Jenny is reluctantly persuaded to join the game. But as she and her new friends decipher the cryptic clues texted to their cell phones - clues that lead them through darker and increasingly remote parts of the city - it becomes terrifyingly clear how high the stakes have become. Someone is hunting for real.
Acting
The acting wasn't the problem with this, Christina Brucota was pretty good in the lead, and nobody was really bad at all.
Gore
A bunch of semi-bloody stabbings, and someone shot in the head
Sex/Nudity
Just off-screen implied sex.
Final Thoughts
A really slow moving slasher flick that lacks on everything a good slasher should have. There's little gore or action, and lots of randomness. The story had what could be a decent plot, but despite clearly being a slasher movie, it appears as if the director really wanted to make it a crime drama. Not a good movie at all, and certainly one that can be skipped.
