The Zero Boys Movie Review



Trailer here.

The Zero Boys is a 1986 horror movie directed by Nico Mastorakis and starring Kelli Moroney and Crystal Carson.

The film begins with a group of paintballers called The Zero Boys. They are champions at it. They decide to go into the woods for a vacation. They are Casey, Steve,Rip, Trish(Carson), Sue, Jamie(Moroney)and Larry. They go to a cabin and they decide to stay for the night. It is Rip's birthday and they are up for fun. Someone is watching the house. Trish sees someone looking at them. Steve and Jamie find a human bone, Trish tells the group that someone is watching them. They decide to go. The car won't start. Jamie sees a guy with a knife. The phone isn't working either. Steve and the others get weapons to protect themselves. Larry and Rip spot someone. They also find a mass grave with loads of human bones. They discover a video of a girl being tortured. 


The girls find a trunk in the house, which contains a dead body. Trish goes upstairs and she is grabbed by a man. The guys return from looking around and they see Trish being tortured in the barn. They try to get in to save her, but she has gone. The phone rings and the psycho is on the line. He is not happy. Trish is thrown into the house through a trapdoor. She isn't dead, just traumatised. Steve asks her about who took her. The group discover that their truck is working. They decide to go out to it.  Larry gets killed.  There are two killers after them. The rest of the group are chased  by the killers and they have to use their paintball skills to fight. It turns out that there are three killers in the end.


This is a fun film. It's a mix of slasher movie and action movie but it works well. It is directed by the guy who also directed the infamous Island of Death. A fun fact about this film is that is used the same sets as Friday the 13th part 3. It isn't as good as that movie, but it is worth a watch and I'm giving it a 5/10.
