The Pool

Yes, it's straight to video. Yes, it's about a masked man who kills people with a machete. And yes, it is European. Even with all of these strikes against it, The Pool, is an entertaining flick with ample characters and gore. The story is about a group of teens haveing a party at a huge indoor pool. One by one, the teens are slashed in bloodbaths (pun intended) all over the building. The only bad thing is the movie kinda fell apart towards the end. The killer revealed himself and I didn't know who the hell he was. He was like in a 10 second scene in the beginning. Plus a couple of very pointless and killable characters lived. 4 out of 5.

Characters:

• Sarah: CHic who doesn't like the water, but goes to the pool party anyway. She's gonna have some real trust issues after this movie.
• Greg: Sarah's unfaithful man. Redeems himsel by participating in a murder.
• Carmen: Sarah's best friend, and the one who cheats with Greg. She's also a good swimmer which comes in handy.
• Frank: Who? He's the killer? WHO?! Ok. Some guy who is part of the gang, that is in the movie for like two scenes.
• Kim: Poor girl of the group and resents them for it. Fails the final exam, AND gets stabbed in the woods. What a sucky day.
• Martin: Dropout mechanic who helps the gang break into the building. Gets stabbed through a vent.
• Chris: Kind of an asshole, but lives.
• Mel: Hides in the bathroom, but gets sliced through the bathroom stale wall anyway.
• Mike: Kim's pale man. He's also artistic, which is cool, but isn't really a useful skill when you're trying to escape a killer. Stabbed.
• Svenja: Sliced in half when she slides though a machete. OUCH!
• Carter: Stabbed in the pool.
• Diego: Pointless character that doesn't even die! What an asshole.
• Catherine: Chic killed in the opening credits. Wastes her oly bullets to kill the window. Slashed with a machete.
• Oliver: Poor bastard never even got a linre in. Killed off screen.
• Old Cop Guy: Spends the whole movie trying to find the kids. He finds them and dies 15 seconds later.
