Film appears to be a more modern version of direct to video. I haven't been able to track down any coverage in the press. No professional reviews listed at Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic. Fails WP:NFILM Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 14:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Note I never saw the article by this name that was deleted in 2008 for blatant copyvio. I have no doubt that THAT deletion was proper, however THIS one is NOT that one and does not suffer from copyvio. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:20, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per adequately meeting WP:NF. While it would be nice to find a review in The New York Times, the NYT does not usually bother with independent low-budget horror films. I did however find a nice article in The Tampa Tribune [1] Nor are Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic the only other review sites to consider. Using perhaps different search parameters than the nominator, I found suitable independent reviews in genre sources DVD Talk [2] Bloody Disgusting [3] Fangoria [4] Fatally Yours [5] 10,000 Bullets [6] FIlm Critics United [7] 411mania [8] and a great number of others.[9] The film has received the attention of those who review its genre. Yes, the article will benefit from expansion and improvement through use of available sources, but we do not delete what can be so easily fixed.

- Update Over the last 3-1/2 hours,[10] the article has gone through cleanup, expansion, and sourcing to turn what was originally nominated into a comprehensive and sourced article that properly serves the project.[11] Can more be done? Sure. Has notability been asserted and sourced? Yup. Shall we toss something that has been proven AS improvable? I would think not. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on sources found. Dream Focus 08:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
