Screener Review: WTF! (2017)

"A decent, if very familiar, Slasher flick."

When we received a screener for WTF! in our mail, we were excited to check it out because it feels like forever since we've seen a good, old-fashioned Slasher flick. You know, a group of teens heads into the woods for a weekend of debauchery, only to be sliced and diced by an unseen killer...



Alright, maybe an "Old-fashioned" Slasher flick involves a masked killer of some sort, and this movie doesn't have that, but it does get the other key elements of the sub-genre right; boobs and blood.



For the most part.

A half-naked girl covered in blood runs out of a cabin during an ongoing massacre and screams "What the fuck?!", and our adventure begins!



Rachel, the survivor of the above-mentioned massacre, is heading to a remote cabin in the woods with her friends to drink, get high, and have some sex, which is also known as spring break. Rachel is the good girl; Bonnie is the bitchy sex-bomb; Sam is Rachel's POS cheating boyfriend; Lisa is a whore who knows Jutitsu; Jacob is a stoner; Bevan has a stupid name; and Perez Hilton is inexplicably in another movie, which defies all logic.

AN ANNOYING BUNCH, THEY ARE... WHICH ONLY SERVES TO MAKE THEIR IMPENDING DEATHS THAT MUCH MORE SATISFYING.

Of course once they start to party, they start dying one by one, because this is a Slasher flick. Who is killing them off? And why? And why won't Rachel get naked, especially when all of her friends are? And seriously, why do people keep putting Perez Hilton in movies? Far be it from us to spoil the movie for you here, because in the end, the answers to those questions don't really matter.



Low budget slasher fun ensues.

THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY BEER PONG!

WTF! is a slasher flick of the lower budget, b-movie variety that is full of cliche characters, sexy girls, and bloody kills... which is really all you need from a movie of this kind. It drags early on with far too many scenes of exposition and talking, it's plot doesn't make much sense, and its ending will leave you scratching your head, but on a visceral level, it works like a Slasher flick should.



The movie jumps back and forth between the partying and Rachel being questioned by Police about the deaths of her friends, so we know from the get go that they're all doomed, which is a good thing, because just about all of the characters in the movie are shallow, vapid, and downright unlikable. They're only here to look good and die painfully, and they at least accomplish both rather well.



Rachel is about the only likable character in the bunch, and even she irked us with her putting up with such a douchebag boyfriend, or having such asshole friends for that matter, but what can you do.

YOU MAY NEED A FEW BEERS TO GET THROUGH THIS ONE.

A nail through a foot, a dick gets his dick cut off, throat-slitting, some hairspray violence, and all sorts of Slasher-y bloodletting towards the end of this one.

"OMG MY FACE, BITCHES!"

Everyone aside from Callie Ott gets naked in this one.

TEASE.

"But then I reminded him about the time I caught him face-fucking my babysitter, so yep, no work for me!"

"Jacob's Uncle Travis?"

"Jewtitsu!"

SOMEONE'S IN TROUBLE.

WTF! is a Slasher flick; you see this movie because it's full of hot chicks getting naked and offers some fun kill scenes. If you go in expecting the plot to make sense, be original, or keep you on the edge of your seat, you'll be disappointed.



Slasher fans will have fun with this one.
