It’s a horror film & it’s pretty okay; in fact this could have been a good movie, but towards the end, everything seems kind of stupid.
This is the story about a serial killer (Abel) who swore that he would return to murder all the 7 kids born on the day he died. Btw, Abel had dissociative identity disorder & he did not remember killing all the people. All those 7 kids are premature & after 16 years, the Ripper returns to take the souls of these kids. Actually no one knows whether Abel died or survived, cause he disappeared on that night. There was also a possibility that he might have reincarnated as one of the 7 kids.
All these teenagers are pretty cool, except Brandon & Brittany. Although they were shown as popular kids; there was nothing extraordinary about them. However, Alex, Bug, Jerome (who is also blind), Penelope & Jay are all cool kids. I think Fang is the best. She’s the elder sister of Bug but she’s still in high school with them & everyone is shit scared of her. She also doesn’t like her brother. Bug is the son of the serial killer & Fang was just 3 year old when this incident happened. Everyone took Bug as a miracle child, because his mom was also murdered, but he didn’t know anything about his crazy father till Fang told me in the end.
Now one by one, they are being killed on their 16th birthday. Jay was the 1st one. Then Penelope, Brandon & Brittany are murdered by this huge guy who could be the Ripper or one of those 7 kids. Alex came to Bug’s house & he told him that he had accidentally killed his abusive stepfather & it’s not right that people are dying in this way. When Bug went to get some water for Alexz, lots of things happened, 2 more people die & when he returns to the room, he finds the blind guy Jerome in his closet. Anyway, Jerome explains it all, but it was really funny & from there, the movie becomes very stupid. Actually it has been Alex who is the Ripper & he asked Bug that they could strike a deal & he would spare him. They both would lay the blame on Jerome being the Ripper but Bug refused to accept this & in the end, Alex is killed by his best friend. Bug thought that he might be taken as Ripper but Fang tells the story to everyone & he is now the hero of that town.
What I find weird is that the Ripper was really huge, but Alex was very short.
Those who watch horror movies could watch it, cause it’s a decent movie. And we never expect much of horror movies.
Wes Craven has written & directed it.
