Final Examination | Year: 2003 Classification: Horror Directed: - Fred Olen Ray Actors/Actresses: - Stefany Baclaan - Kathy Cullis Was Anybody Really Expecting a Great Movie??? Pretty typical B-movie fare. Sorority girls are being bumped off at their 5 Year Reunion(like anyone would actually go). Anyway, it's up to 2 miscast actors playing detectives to unmask the killer. Basic stuff. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh, cheese If this film took itself seriously at all, we would have a problem. Luckily, this is the type of cheesy b-movie fare that one can sit back and enjoy. Everything about it is absurd and it revels in it. The film starts out with a cop swindling some drug dealers. He gets chased after they get wise. The car chase is actually pretty decent but there's an added bonus: It changes from raining to not raining randomly. Of course the cop catches hell from his boss (a character named Hugh Janus) as he's the rogue-ish type. However, it was the cop who was being chased. How can that be his fault? Luckily, it doesn't matter in the least as the consequence is a transfer from the LAPD to Hawaii. Cut to a scene of expository dialogue. We soon find that a sorority is having its reunion on the Big Island. The bad-boy cop finds his new partner appealing. How do we know this? Because he fantasizes about her swimming! They must now find out who is bumping off the sororstitutes before all of them bite it. It shouldn't be too hard given that all of the clues point exactly to one person throughout the entire film. Through a series of events too stupid to recount, the killer is apprehended, or is he? Or is she? Or are they? The dialogue is better than say, Matrix: Revolutions but it isn't anything exceptional. There are a few decent jokes ("It's pretty thin." "Yeah it's downright bulimic.") to pass the time between sex scenes and lunacy. The sex scenes are in no way erotic to anyone other than a fifteen-year-old male but like the rest of the film, they're fun. One of them features a woman who walks like an android trying to walk sexy but the program isn't quite right so it comes off as terribly awkward instead. This films showcases; people who get bloodied and bruised for no good reason before a car chase; cops who can't hold guns; a family of revenge-driven psychos; gratuitous blood in one scene; name-dropping of b-film legends; and sorority girls on a five-year reunion. Sounds like a winner to me. The plot twists in this are as predictable as VH1's playlist yet in the last few moments the nonsense starts to pile up in a lovely fashion. Each further twist to the film induces a groan but also a grin, as does much of the dialogue. It's a pretty bad film but a great guilty pleasure. simply awful... Awful play, awful dialogs, actors sound the same, all emotions are the same. In my opinion it's an awful movie... I stopped the DVD after watching the first hour.
