This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This 1974 offering, is what might almost be called a "proto slasher", although Mario Bava's "Bay of Blood" is much more deserving of such an accolade. This is actually more of a whodunit. Anyway, as you may have gathered from reading anything about this movie, it seems to be rather dull. It is. Rather. One funny thing is that the actors often seem confused and/or disinterested, sometimes exchanging their lines in an especially unconvincing way, which makes you both cringe and laugh. Some of the sloppy editing probably doesn't help here either. There's also the "It's kind of a one man job" breakfast preparation scene to look out for, which is kinda weird. Well... the characters aren't wholly unsympathetic, the opening scenes gave me some hope and the island location is nice but the mystery isn't suspenseful or involving enough. There's also a fairly unsettling psychological explanation tagged on as an epilogue, right after "the end" credit; that's not something I'd ever seen before I think. See it if you must but I'd recommend the TV mini series "Maelstrom" from 1985 over this; it is somewhat similar in theme and tone but much more gratifying.

I came across this quite recently and to be honest I have never heard of this movie before, I read the tagline - a group of family and friends spend the weekend at a beach house and start to get picked off one by one. Sounded interesting but when I saw it I was sorely disappointed, for a start the body count is way too low, 3 people die.There's not a lot to recommend this film, unfortunately. I only watched it a couple of hours ago and I'm already having trouble remembering it (although the intrusive, mock-classical soundtrack gave me a headache)! Some unintentional humorous touches lifted this tedious affair, with the household walking round the house eyeing each other nervously, especially in daftly convoluted scenes where various characters happen to be holding a cut throat razor (a woman, no less!), and someone manages to get blood all over their hands after cutting themselves whilst chopping a grapefruit and endless sandwich making, I honestly don't know what this movie was going for or set out to do, but whatever it was, it fails.So all in all this moving well and truly deserves to be forgotten and buried and never to be heard from again.

Have a Nice Weekend reminded me of another dull slasher flick called Home Sweet Home, because they both have one thing in common - they're extremely boring. I disagree with the other comment, as this film is not really that 'obscure' - I've seen it floating around on ebay many times.The film itself is more of a mystery rather than a slasher film, as you have to guess who the killer is. To be fair, there were two 'ok' death scenes, they weren't gory, but made me laugh because they were so cheesy. The rest of the film is just endless talking inside a house. I ended up fast-forwarding through a lot of scenes because I just couldn't stand to waste any more of my life on such a dull film.This is a slasher flick to be avoided, no doubt about it, unless you're a masochist or need help getting to sleep.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND is one of those very independent American movies that might have been released to a theater in Arkansas for three days before burrowing itself into the ground, only to be exhumed years later by a rinky-dink video distributor. Once you manage to obtain a copy of this obscure film, however, you'll have no trouble understanding why it has been banished to the netherworld of forgotten cinema...it's because it sucks.Oh, yes, friends...this flick sucks HARD.Although it's pitched as a horror/slasher story, this is actually more along the lines of an underdeveloped Agatha Christie-style mystery. A group of nondescript characters are brought together on a small private island. Murders take place, characters side-glance each other suspiciously, and...does this sound familiar? Not only is the film working with stale trappings, it doesn't even deliver a substantial quantity of bloodshed...this is a tame, timid, unfurnished wipe-out, devoid of estimable qualities besides having a nice-sounding music score. The flatly written characters are played with understandable disinterest, and the film dog-paddles along toward an anti-climatic dud of a resolve.This will be of minor interest only to the most sworn archaeologists of proto-slasher cinema...anyone else might not have such a nice weekend.3/10
