A group of college students travels to the cottage of their psychology professor Barren (Peter Carey) in an isolated island as a reward of their teamwork in the research of Barren. They expect to spend the weekend with lots of sex, but a serial-killer turns their party in a nightmare.
"The Retreat" is a B-movie with a screenplay that shows a bad collection of the usual clichés of horror movies: a place in the middle of nowhere with a serial killer; cell phones do not work; the killer murders one by one, and when they discover the bodies of their friends and consequently the menace, they split to make easier to the assassin; the killer damages their cars and they become trapped in the house; when the killer is dominated, nobody shoots him in the head or hits him with an ax, or try to see his face; they just leave the guy alone with an ax close to him; the girl meets the policeman, but has the most unreasonable attitude; there are many beautiful breasts; the twist in the end is ridiculous. There are more flaws or clichés, but I believe these examples are enough to give a big picture of this film. In addition, there are many stupid lines that seem to be written by a moron or a fan of "American Pie" franchise. The result is the fair IMDb Rating of 2.8 with 228 votes. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Grito de Pânico" ("Scream of Panic")
