'Death Do Us Part'
(Peter Benson, Julia Benson, Christine Chatelain, Emilie Ullerup, et al / DVD / R / 2014 / Anchor Bay Entertainment)

Overview: Kennedy Jamieson, a wealthy socialite, is engaged to the charming Ryan Harris, and with the young couple just a week away from the big day they set out to celebrate their respective bachelor/bachelorette parties. Ryan's best man Chet books a remote cabin in the woods to throw them a 'Jack and Jill' stag that they'll never forget. But out there in the middle of nowhere, things take a horrifying turn as members of the group are brutally picked off one by one!

DVD Verdict: Surprisingly enough the plot was actually kinda complex. Sure, had its holes but once the action starts you do start do wonder a thing or two.

So let's begin: the acting was B+ for a horror. I was relatively impressed; the characters were maybe a tad bit cheesy, only wrong element being the "creeper". That one completely failed in my book; Camera work was good, better than your usual flick in the woods horror; plot came with a twist which shows that the producers actually put their brains at work; last but not least, death scenes, weak.

Though to try and make up for all that the three 3 lovely girls involved, all of them with huge cleavages, would have done just that had nudity been involved; sorry ladies reading this! But, alas, no such luck. Little blood, a few good friendly jokes and the usual "let's split and everybody run in one direction waiting for the script to decide who dies next" plot is employed.

In closing, and as much as you can see the effort put into it, you can clearly see that it's missing the punch! Characters were indeed explored a tad, but in the end it had to be a horror - and shamefully acted too little like one. Watch it and you'll most likely feel the same. Or not, as the case may well be. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Bonus Features of:
