'Heebie Jeebies' (2005) – Doug Evans & Michael Hawkins-Burgos.

Cassandra (Bobbie Bo Westphal), a melancholy young woman, is frequently tormented by grisly premonitions over the violent deaths of her loved ones. By inviting all her intimate High School friends to an isolated farmhouse, she sincerely hopes it will keep them safe from harm. Sadly, their gruesome fates soon suggest otherwise! Including Heebie Jeebies sinisterly off-beat premise, likeable, natural performances, the genuine star of this unsettling, garotte taut indie horror is the thrillingly inventive screenplay. From the moment poor Cassandra arrives in this dilapidated property, you strongly sympathise with her increasing anguish as her companions are inventively slaughtered by a brutal, frustratingly unknowable maniac. An exciting, criminally undervalued low budget horror Bobby Dazzler, greatly overdue some splattery love, the well monikered Heebie Jeebies is, as Dan O'Bannon so rightly claims, a cut above the average identikill slasher.
