Bunch of paintballers sign on for an expensive European competition and have a bit of moronic fun until, inevitably because it’s a movie, they discover that someone out there is using real bullets. And that’s just the start of this sadistic Spanish slasher flick. It’s tedious until we learn why this is happening, after which it’s just silly. It’s admittedly innovative, but in a Saw sort of way. Showing someone’s head being repeatedly crushed in infra-red rather than full color doesn’t make it any easier to watch, and the whole thing’s filmed with a nauseating handheld technique. Skip it twice.
