WTF! is a 2017^[1]{{better source|date=February 2018}} American horror film directed by Peter Herro. It was written by Herro, Christopher Lawrence Centanni and Adam Buchalter.^[1]{{better source|date=February 2018}} It stars Callie Ott, Nicholas James Reilly, Andrea Hunt, and Johnny James Fiore, with a special appearance by Perez Hilton. The film follows a group of college friends onto their vacation at a secluded cabin. One by one, a killer works their way through the group, a killer who has links to an earlier massacre one of them previously survived.

Plot

Years after narrowly escaping a mass slaughter that left her traumatized, Rachel reluctantly attends a Spring Break retreat with her friends. Her brother in tow, her borderline abusive boyfriend flirting with her girlfriends, and hangers-on along for the ride, the entire group decide to spend Spring Break in an isolated cabin in the woods. Hormones, secrets, and skinny-dipping abound, but there's a lingering danger around the edges of their adventure, creepy noises and strange happenings, including a nail through the foot of one of the girls.

When one of their group goes missing, only to turn up dead with his throat slit, trouble shifts to the forefront. A hooded figure stalks the group, one that is knocking each member off in a particularly nasty way from a stabbing to hairspray flames to the face. With bodies mounting and tempers flaring, Rachel realizes that what happened to her before is happening again. She's about to face off once again with the monster that killed her last group of friends. Unlike the last time, the only way out is to face down her tormentor and the twist to the murders that makes the deaths even more horrible than first revealed.

Reviews

The Critical Critics gave the movie three out of five, saying "...[t]ropes abound, from weird locals espousing caution, to sabotaged escape vehicles, to characters wandering off alone with the full knowledge that a murderer is on the loose. But it’s all done with a consistent tongue-in-cheek tone and good pacing across an attention-friendly running time, so it’s hard to complain. It isn’t the smartest show in town, but WTF! is sleazy fun." ^[5]

A World of Dreams also wrote highly of the film, saying "... [e]ven if Herro’s protagonists are routinely etched, it is all part of the joyous embrace of tradition so often found in these efforts....Even though this attribute makes for a presentation that can never be measured as groundbreaking, it is certainly absorbing. When combined with the complex touches Herro puts on the construction of the chronicle and a lead that resonates genuine interest, WTF! endures as many cuts above average."^[6]

Without Your Head was far less effusive, stating "..[t]he movie doesn’t get any better than this excellent opening. From there it sinks into stereotypical slasher with oversexed teen stoners and comically bad dialogue....Unfortunately after an hour and a half of beyond dimwitted teen dialogue, you prefer all the characters die...[I]f this film finds an audience it’ll be fans who like dimwitted, frat boy humor, too silly for mainstream."^[7]
