Trespassers (2006)

One of the wrost movies I have ever seen

A different way of telling a story

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Avid surfer Tyler(Brendan Fleming)wants to share his new found waves and invites his brother Colin(Kaiwi Lyman)to come down to Maja Mexico and catch a wave or two. The two haven't seen each other for awhile making Colin very anxious as he gathered a few friends and headed south. Catching some killer waves and enjoying cold beer on the beach sounds too good to be true; taking rugged Mexican back roads to find Tyler's location has the travelers on nerve's end. Colin is sure he has found the right spot, but his brother is no where to be found. Upon searching out the vicinity, piles of what seems animal and human bones are found. Also a campsite is found, where one tent is full of evidence of a massacre. When two of the group search for help, a Mexican couple tells of a curse that includes the undead needing to make human sacrifices. There is a nice topless scene; but the most excitement comes with an attack of beach zombies. Also in the cast: Annica Bejhed, Joleigh Fioravanti, Alex Feldman, Michele Borth and Jon Ada.

Looking for the killer wave may actually kill you. The location South of the Border is called the "Point of Open Eyes" and seems ideal for surfing and screwing, and five young adults decide to drive down there hoping to "ride the perfect wave". Beautiful Americans far from home, in a stunning secluded beach, the gorgeous waves crashing, seems enthralling, doesn't it? I guess looks can be deceiving. You know what they say, that which seems too good to be true normally is. Upon entering Mexico, it doesn't take very long before our Americans are engaged in not-so-pleasant relations with the locals. After resolving this minor squabble, the gang come across a gas station seemingly abandoned, finding a Mexican devouring a live chicken as it was squirming relentlessly to escape, setting up the rest of the movie..could the group come across savages with a hunger for something other than live chickens? You might could use the description of beauty and the beasts regarding the peninsula and the human monsters which occupies it. As presented in the movie, the savages hunt and move like a pack of ravenous wolves, ripping into their meal without restraint. Director Ian McCrudden does apply the less-is-more approach, but does establish the kind of predatory fiends these savages are..there's this cool scene where we see a huge pit of bones, with all kinds of skeletal remains, cattle, dogs, humans. There's even one doozy of a scene where Colin and Rose find Tyler's group's compound, with a freshly skinned alive corpse inside one of the tents. They are quite ferocious and bloodthirsty, snarling and menacing..they are photographed in a manner where we can not quite see them for any length of time. The movie looks to have been shot on digital, in the steadicam method so visually you will have to adjust accordingly.We get an idea of where the savages come from, considered the "curse of El Gringo." I think this herein lies the film's problem. It seems that oftentimes the filmmakers need to weave an elaborate backstory for the predators of their movie. I think I'm not the only one who doesn't necessarily demand an explanation as to why these savages exist in such a way. And, the possession angle for the savages just removes the realism of quite a harrowing survival storyline. These characters caught in what seemed like the perfect tourist trap, actually lives up to it's title in that they find themselves imprisoned in the sand dunes shrouded by the dark, with the savages out there somewhere lurking, an insatiable hunger for human flesh. That more than satisfies me, but to incorporate a mythos for them seems forced when unneeded."It's really eerie out here, in the middle of nowhere."--Ashley.Colin's older brother Tyler invited him to the spot and when they get there, he and his mates are missing. Colin(Kaiwi Lyman) is a blond surfer, and Ashley(Michelle Borth) is Colin's girlfriend. Ashley's gal pal, Rose(Joleigh Fioravanti;Hatchet)tags along as does Colin's male buddies, Javier(Jon Ada)and Lucky(Alex Feldman). Javier brings along his guitar and Rose is more than interested in him, not knowing he's homosexual. Rose, though, seems perfectly fine flirting with Colin, as well. Ashley doesn't appreciate Rose's unbridled and aware lust for Colin, not acknowledging that he's taken. Lucky is the tag-along no one really asked to accompany them on the trip, he sort of invited himself. He has a camcorder which is utilized in the plot when he vanishes after seeing some horrifying things. When the group break up into pairs, Javier and Ashley riding off on a bike to ask locals what happened to Tyler and company, while Colin and Rose look around the beach for the compound. This is when nightfall soon occurs and the creatures come out to hunt.

I Netflixed this film because it just came out and I was in the mood for some horror. As is with low-budg, straight to DVD horror, my expectations were LOW. I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The acting and directing is well above the caliber of movies in this genre and the writing was surprisingly witty. Felt very much like a throwback to the 70s classics, like the original "The Hills Have Eyes." There are some truly harrowing moments not to mention a cool concept and some beautiful landscapes. O, and excellent music selection and score. My only real criticism is the dialogue mix is low and not the best, but overall, if you're a fan of old school Genre pieces, this film is well worth a rental. Take the ride!

This is my first review ever, what a way to start where no one has posted anything yet so here it goes. without knowing much by the DVD cover i didn't know what to expect even though it said "in the vein of dawn of the dead, Shaun of the dead as well as other zombie movies." so i said hey why not it's only $11.00, but after viewing it i think i should have waited a little longer. The story involves a group of friends going to Mexico to surf at an abandoned beach, getting their they find no one is there, so what do they do strip down and surf and have a sex filled week (more on the line of a teenage boy surfing through porn) you get to see the only girl you want to see topless. later when one vanishes they look to find his video camera lying on the beach (farther away then he dropped it.) to see something grabbed him, and try to figure out where Colin's brother went to, then the rest of the movie is pretty much a tale of terror where Javier and the girl with him (forgot name) get information about the past of the beach by a store clerk, where this man and followers lived on the beach and prayed to god for (I think) entry, they never ate real food just what the tide would bring in until one day he brings food and everyone devours it, then they realize he was bringing children from town, well they get man and do a horrendous act by placing him in the sand with his head out and cut his eyelids off while facing the sun, as he was there he prayed for help, but got the wrong religious man, but took the offer so he could take revenge on anyone who comes near his beach. when the corpses of fellow boarders come back to life they do what "kill" which isn't much of a climax, after a few die only two are left to leave and fight off the dead (which is choppy by how the camera is moving so fast to catch all the action)none the less once they leave on the dirt bike which was left there they meet the pact leader to decide there fate. This is a well put together movie with a decent amount of blood, some nudity, and it's a zombie flick but the bad thing is it gets old fast they all have the mind of a 12 year old, with to much sex related humor, and the acting is so-so, its decent but not a must maybe a rental instead.4/10
