Some want to inform guests against the murderer's written instructions that they will be the next to be killed.

Reviews
Jamie Russell wrote for the BBC on June 17, 2004 that the same team most recently created Super Troopers - an "uneven but at times brilliant comedy." In comparison, this film is a crash; he slips into stupidity. It seems like the writers are already too tired of writing decent gags. Russell scoffed, maybe they had the movie Dude, Where's All My Jokes? should call.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film offered an “inedible mixture of clothes, sex and violence film, in which the stale comedy was submerged behind drastic speculative massacre scenes”.
