Deadly Weekend spends the first 40 or so minutes in the company of two couples camping in the wilderness. The guys play football and the girls lounge around in teeny tiny shorts and cropped vests that barely contain their ample chests. The script has the friends falling out over past sexual encounters, none of which has any real bearing on the plot as three out of the four wind up dead before the end credits roll.
A pair of young psychotic sisters (Haley Sehgal and Chelsea Lee Wheatley) are responsible for the deaths, luring the campers to their home where they drug them and mutilate them for kicks. This part of the film is pure torture porn, and much more entertaining than watching the friends getting drunk around a camp fire. There are some effective gore effects, and the whole thing is made a tad more shocking due to the tender ages of those committing the atrocities.
The last act revolves around 'final girl' Katie (Sara Jean Underwood) trying to escape from the two mini-psychos and their equally deranged father (Kevin J. O'Neill). The film was no award winner up to this point, but things get really dumb when Katie fails to give her attackers a whack with an axe when the opportunity arises, instead throwing down her weapon to try and make a run for it. This level of stupidity is rewarded when Katie is recaptured and presumably subjected to more pain and suffering.
Jason Sutton's direction is crude (this is his one and only film as director), the dialogue (also by Sutton) is weak, and the acting is entry level at best, although I get the feeling that the two main actresses weren't cast for their abilities as thespians.
A generous 3/10 for the babes and the gore.
