Hack!

Directed by Matt Flynn1h 29m2007

Seven college students are picked to travel to a private island owned by the reclusive Vincent King and his film-obsessed wife Mary Shelley to study island wildlife. But is isn't long when a mysterious killer begins killing the students one-by-one, and modeling them after gory murder scenes from numerous horror films.

Our read: Hack! (2007) reads as a neutral, breathless, inventive comedy · horror · slasher entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
