Great Film overall

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There isn't a lot to remember from this run-of-the-mill low-budget slasher. 3 young couples and their douchebag friend intrude a disaffected tower for a night of partying. Unbeknownst to them, a hulking figure haunts the abode with its machete and starts dismembering them one by one.There's no build-up and/or tension. The origins of the killer are mostly unexplored, save for a brief flashback to an asylum escape in the prologue. Though he's big, he's never really menacing and I found his decrepit mother to be a much more interesting foe. Unfortunately, she only intervenes at the the very end of the movie.Slashers all run the same formula and maybe this would have worked with a bigger cast (more deaths = more fun). The only surprise is to be found in the final survivor, who I thought would be the first to be dismissed. And that's a good thing because he's also the cutest.

This movie is stereotypical, cliché, boring as all hell. I would rather watch paint dry then see this again. Every person cast looked at least 30 years old and they were supposed to be under 21. Judging by the dialogue it is ridiculously obvious that this was written by a guy. For crying out loud, what group of females brags about the fact that their clothes won't be on long once getting to a party. Especially considering the fact that they are supposed to be playing teenagers. This movie sucks. Don't watch it because this movie waistes precious time that could be waisted on actual good movies. We hope that the writer never works again.

As the other reviews mentioned, this movie looks scary and intriguing when one glances at the box. But when my friends and I put in this disk, huddled in blankets and ready to be scared to death, we soon realized that there would be no need for any protection, and we even had to turn the volume up so we could hear over our insane laughter. The beginning was a joke - the explicit song playing over a series of repeated clips of the killers feet, then a five - minute opening credits scene consisting of an elevator opening and closing, revealing the names of cast and producers. The camera seemed to be (or was) hand-held, and although this may have been effective in some scenes, it was not for the entire movie. And don't get me started on the janitor scene at the beginning. Did you notice the obvious hosepipe sticking out of the "stump where his arm used to be"? What was supposed to be gore turned into something out of an Itchy and Scrachy cartoon, and the useless "twist?" of an ending had us cracking up for hours. Another thing that had us in hysterics: the use of the word "butt rash" while playing the Ouija board (perhaps they had crossed out "momopoly" and written "Ouija" in glowing letters?). All in all, this film is explicit, rude, but a great laugh if you need cheering up.

What a rip-off! What did the box art say? Fifty stories, Five hundred inhabitants, Zero survivors. Lies on all counts. Granted, companies often take liberties with the box art. The monsters are never as cool looking in the film as they are on the box. (That could be said for the actors and actresses too.) However, this time they want too far. The box art showed a building which looked like a cross between New York's Flat Iron Building and a Medieval Castle. The villain looked cool too. Then we have the tag line: Fifty stories, Five Hundred Inhabitants, Zero Survivors. First off, I didn't see fifty floors, just a rooftop and a few shabby rooms and corridors that could have been anywhere. As for the 500 inhabitants – what a freaking lie. The building is abandoned. And, in a way, there is a survivor. Wrong on all counts. One of the reasons I was anxious to see this film was that the box made me believe it had an epic scale. Wrong. Just another 1980's slasher ripoff. (The biggest difference is that the breasts were real back in the 1980s!) It did have some gore. That might satisfy some fans of the genre, but it wasn't enough for me.
