For me the whole film is riddled with problems right from the start which makes it less than interesting viewing, although I would imagine a younger audience may enjoy it a bit more than me. The first problem is that it tries to mix two genres, starting off with a sort of teen sex comedy, minus the comedy, something similar to the equally poor "Euro-trip" and then after half an hour of nudity and general debauchery it attempts to bring on the horror but nothing about it is scary and in general is highly predictable and quite laughable. Maybe I am missing the whole point of doing this but the first half hour fails to do anything but make you wonder when anything remotely interesting is going to happen and by the time it does you have lost interest. What really lets it down is an ending which is not only rushed but feels like the writers suddenly realised that the film had no real motive and so contrived one in an attempt to tie everything together. It is the ending which stretches the already implausible storyline beyond any realms of believability and for me makes the whole thing quite laughable. Have I got anything positive to say about the plot to the film, in all honesty no, I really expected a lot more and got absolutely nothing from it worth praising.

Whilst the casting of not well known actors in the major roles was a good thing, although I can think of a few A list stars I would like to stick a knife into, the actual acting and characters were not really anything major. Part of the problem lies in that I struggled to feel any compassion for the three friends and so whether they met a grizzly death didn't really interest me, in fact at times I was hoping they would and quite quickly to be honest. I actually felt that during the first half hour they did a reasonable job and were quite believable as back-packers in search of hedonistic pleasures, but the minute the film changed track they really started to struggle. When it came to the blood and gore aspect of the film, the acting really took a turn for the worse and was completely unbelievable as at times I didn't know whether they were crying in pain or laughing at the stupidity of it all. Out of all the actors I felt Jay Hernandez did the best job but that is probably because he did seem to be the lynch pin between the three friends and also got the most screen time. What I also struggled with was when it came to the films supporting characters, such as a gang of children who would hold people to ransom for bubble gum; it just didn't fit for me and left me questioning why not do more with them to explain things further.

● Film Summary

As for this being called the Unseen Edition, the reason for this is not down to any new scenes just a few extra seconds of gore here and there which really doesn't make the film any better.
