    it's scary only because you really don't know why the killers are doing what they're doing, but overall, horrible movie.

    I was hooked from the start till the 1st ending but the 2nd & final ending screwed up the whole movie for me

    The Shortcut wasn't a hardcore horror flick but then again it was a PG-13 thriller .
    I didn't mind that there wasn't gratuitous violence in it and I usually like a lot of gratuitous violence.

    The actors are appealing and the characters interesting enough to keep your attent...( read more)ion.It's more of a mystery and that lends to it's appeal.

    They don't sugarcoat anything or have any less victims of violent deaths because it's PG-13 they just make you use your imagination more instead of showing you the actual kill in full effect.

    There are a couple of twists that I saw coming but it was still a good story and cleverly done.

    I think even a slasher fan "like myself" would enjoy this movie,I did.

    There is a story within a story.The back story is the how the Shortcut came to be and as time goes by reveals one of the mysteries..

    3-1/2 Stars

    I stumbled up on this movie and it was a lot better than I expected it to be. It did make me jump once or twice and the acting was not half bad. I really enjoyed how it ended, I was not expecting it which was a nice surprise.

    A horror thriller movie or well its not quite horror enough in my opinion. The story is decent and similar to "Wrong Turn" in a way but that movie is like 1000x better if you want a horror movie. There are only uknown actors to me in this flick and its not the best performances a...( read more)swell but for being a low budget flick its not to shabby in the end. Its a movie you can pick up if you are a huge movie buff like me.

    Better than average teen horror flick, the acting was actually pretty good, but it was predictable. It at least had a slightly different twist to it. Some decent scares.

    so, this is a bit corny and the acting is not the best, but if you look past that you have a pretty good horror movie..it's thrilling and creepy with a nice little ending..
