While it probably won't be making my favorites list for this year, I was still entertained by Rock Paper Dead, just because it was refreshing to see a slasher film try and mix up the formula a bit with an unconventional approach to its killer.

Rated: 3/5

The acting is awful. A better cast might have been able to pull it off.

If you're into the whole old school psychological slasher then by all means go for it. If you want something to play on date night for the thrill of it don't waste your money. This movie feels outdated even for something made in 2017 and the plot lines and shots just make zero sense even after the movie. I truly wish it was casted more appropriately as nearly all of the main characters just feel out of place. Overall not very enjoyable.

'Rock, Paper, Scissors' certainly isn't bad enough to be classified as a failure, or even generally bad, but it's most definitely disappointing. Despite the involvement of two horror veterans, and a refusal to shy away from some disturbing subject matter, it still manages to feel fairly amateurish. While director Tom Holland is able to create some truly chilling, sleazy atmosphere, he's only able to salvage so much. It's got plenty of bright spots, but it's a far cry from 'Fright Night' or 'Friday the 13th'.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
