Out for a day of kicks with three girls,Steve,Larry and Rip(three college buddies who enjoy playing war games)stop at a remote wilderness cabin as a storm approaches.They've walked right into a nightmare trap set by two deranged killers."The Zero Boys" surely doesn't live up to its full potential.This film is quite dull and there is absolutely no gore.There are some moody shots and a little bit of suspense,but there is not enough violence for my liking.There are much better horror films which are quite similar to "The Zero Boys" for example "Scarecrows","Hunter's Blood" or even the recent "Wrong Turn".Check them out instead of watching this disappointing movie.5 out of 10.

THE ZERO BOYS is a typical and average slasher film of the 1980s which just so happens to be directed by Nico Mastorakis, the Greek director responsible for the notorious ISLAND OF DEATH. It suffers a great deal from having an extremely average script which fails to offer up any decent characterisation and instead goes through the motions throughout. The titular characters are a bunch of paintballing enthusiasts who head off to the usual cabin in the woods for a weekend of debauchery before finding themselves targeted by a psychotic killer or two. The film offers some action and some bloodshed, but it tends to veer towards cheese rather than scares and as such is a largely forgettable viewing experience.

Yet another Friday the 13th. ripoff about a group of guys playing a game of paintball in an isolated forest with their girlfriends along for the ride who fall prey to a killer after stumbling upon a cabin. Some good shock scenes, but rather cruel and unsympathetic towards it's characters. Amateurish performances and slack direction torpedo whatever good qualities it had to begin with. Rated R; Violence, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.

A group of nerdy paint-ballers and their lady friends go off into the woods where they find a cabin and start partying unaware that they are not alone in this mind-numbingly awful slasher film. Almost bloody, totally suspense-less, horrible direction, atrocious acting, and a complete lack of nudity are just but a few reasons to stay away from this lame Nico Mastorakis sleep-inducer. Saying this is his worst film is saying a a lot as his output is lacking in the competence department to put it mildly. But I feel safe to say just that. It's his worst. Maschocists and insomniacs ONLY apply within. DVD Extras: Merely a theatrical trailer for this film & a trailer for "Glitch" My Grade: F

For those thinking horror movies are focusing too much on poltergeists, men with hockey masks and aliens from outer space this one might be a surprise. Nothing that happens in this film strikes against reality as everything that happens to Steve, Larry and Rip also may happen to anyone in their situation. To make it short: The perfect combination of action and horror.... Me personally is a fan of the pace and moods of The Zero Boys as it captures your attention almost immediately. The actors (without being Jack Nicholsons)do their parts very good and especially I like Jared Moses as the loudmouthed Rip. The movie is not in any way overdimensionalized as very simple means are used to picture the story and enhance the feeling of something evil in the air. I use to enjoy the work of Nico Mastorakis...and this is no exception.

I saw this movie when I was still living in Mexico about 8 years ago, and I loved it, then when I moved back to the USA, I saw that a video store had it for sale and I bought it. I watched it and I was slightly disappointed when I realized that the USA release had the real end missing. Anyway, it still is a great slasher flick, it has all the elements: beautiful babes, their boyfriends, the crazy madmen, the house in the middle of the woods, a garden full with human remains and lots of screaming and gun shoots. Rent it, its fun and fast paced, plus chances are you will recognize the main actresses, who continued making horror flicks: Kelli Maroney and Nicole Rio.

The Zero Boys is definitely a strange one. While it looks like a Rambo rip off or some sort of survivalist action movie, it really has a structure and cast more in line with the slasher movies of that same area. A bunch of paintball loving guys and their girlfriends head up to a secluded cabin in the woods (which they don't own). Soon, someone is killing them one by one due to their tresspassing. There are shades of the torture film when they discover that these killers have been recording their victims' final moments on video and playing them to taunt their current victims. Also, scream queen Kelli Maroney (Chopping Mall, Night of the Comet) is always a welcome addition to any film's cast and the film clips along at a great, exciting pace. It's a shame this one is lesser known that some of its contemporaries.
