I enjoyed this movie. The pacing is similar to Rachel McAdam's other movie I have seen: "The Notebook".
The time-travel aspect has been used well. I didn't notice any obvious mistakes on the writer's part.

Plot:I will be very brief on this one. This is just a typical not really original eighties slasher movie. Everyone act as a bunch of idiot young adult, Amy Steel and Thomas Wilson are wasted in this. We see the end coming from one mile because of the title, the french one was not that obvious (Weekend de terreur/Weekend of Terror), certainly lame but not obvious. Some movie deserve to be lost and forget, this is one of them. Wait, the worst thing about it ... it'll we be remade this year
