In a woods cabin live a mother(Tracy Scoggins), a Quaker-alike, and his little son named Jeremiah. She always warns him on dangers of exterior world.But she's brutally murdered by a rednecks in presence of Jeremiah. Thirty years later he becomes into a deranged youth . Three couples(Mario Lopez,Bentley Mitchum, Jason Oliver and Justine Priestley, twin sister of Jason Priestley) go on a weekend hiking journey in the mountains. They stop in a strange location where encounter quirky local folk(Gary Busey)and run afoul into the van . But their misfortunes actually start when they do camp in an allegedly abandoned cabin that's not so empty they think; then the terror really begins. The psycho behemoth chases down and kills scabrously young people. Meanwhile a sheriff (Bo Hopkins)is investigating creepy deaths.... This is a customary splatter plenty of grisly killing,thrills,gruesome shocks, nauseating chills and quite boring. It relies heavily on old-fashioned buckets of blood and the plot remains the same of 'Slashers genre'. In the film appear usual actors from 'B series', such as Bo Hopkins, Gary Busey and Tracy Scoggins. Special cameo in flashback as a paramedic of David Naughton, the starring of the classic 'American werewolf in London'which the hikers comment when they're walking. The motion picture is badly directed by Sean Stanek. Another films about trippers trapped into woods and chased by killers or rednecks, are much better, such as the classic 'Deliverance', 'Wrong turn and Cabin fever' among others. Rating: bottom of barrel and below average.

This is the worst writing I have ever seen in a movie. Watching it leads one to wonder if it is meant to be a spoof. But, it isn't. The acting is like a bunch of 8-year-olds who have no sense of reality. Roughly two minutes of this movie was frightening. If you like bad movies, this is for you. It is absolutely hilarious because it's so bad. But, I would not recommend spending the hour and a half on it. Gary Busey is in it for roughly five minutes. Strange and twisted, he seems to be the comic relief, but I can't tell.There is also no resolution at the end. It ends abruptly and frustratingly does not answer some of the key questions. Most of the dialog gives background information of all the different characters which is rather pointless and shallow. A few gratuitous bloody scenes and sex scenes, but again they're hardly enough to be considered interesting and worthwhile.

OK, this follows the plot line of almost any no-fail-direct-to-video b movie. Group of kids following a few of the stock archetypes (stoners, oversexed girls and their horny boyfriends, idiot leader, cliché pseudo-intellectuals... et cetera) are out on some voyage. Our director chose one of the more popular type: camping. So they go out camping, have a rough start, meet Gary Busey (THIS IS CRUCIAL!!!), and set out into misadventure. Of course, they end up staying in a cabin that belongs to Jeremiah.Luckily for the audience, Jeremiah starts to remove from society our lovable youthful cast, as per every b flick. For the most part the movie was done really well. Scenes to remember include: Harold, the Janitor, and his criticism of modern amenities and philosophy; Every scene with the Sheriff or his bumbling deputy; and the chicken store/gas station.At the chicken farm, Gary Busey stars as the butcher in one of his best rolls ever. He is witty, nutty, covered in blood, and best of all, in a light blue three piece suit and tie. Bam, phenomenal. Honestly, he was the entire reason I rented the film. When it comes down to choosing from Hasting's array of B Horror movies, touting Gary Busey is important. Especially when he is THE FIRST CREDITED ON THE BACK. In the synopsis on the case, it even makes mention of his character. -- hardcore -- or so I thought...Attention, spoiler to follow: Gary Busey is in this movie for approximately two minutes. He makes those two minutes worth it, but I spent the ENTIRE DURATION OF THE FILM WAITING FOR HIM TO SHOW UP AGAIN... and he never does. This pisses me off to no end because his NAME WAS FIRST CREDITED AND HIS PICTURE IS ON THE DVD CASE. Yes, on the DVD jacket cover, Gary Busey's picture is two to three times larger than the actual stars of the film. I figure in the world of 'super size' and 'texas' bigger is better and more important. Well, apparently I was had because Gary Busey (who is credited as the star of the movie... or so it seemed) is a bit part and he NEVER COMES BACK. Gentle reader, please do not expose yourself to this example of capitalist crap. Instead, let me direct you to a much better film: House of the Dead.House of the Dead is based off the Arcade Game of the same name (yes, the one we all spent our allowance in at Aladdin's Castle). At any rate, there are zombies (which make much better villains than Jeremiah any day), guns, fake raves, the Puget Sound, and Jürgen Prochnow. The best part of the movie is that it advertises Jürgen Prochnow (yes, THE Jürgen Prochnow from Das Boot) and Jürgen makes the movie worth watching. Also, hes in the flick for a decent amount of time, esp. for a bit part.Love, Matt

I bought this Movie and Really enjoyed it, a lot of the straight to video releases are really good, this is one of the better I've bought. i'd definitely buy this if your looking for a cheap horror when your out, or even try renting it! It keeps you on the edge of your seat and when you find out why the person in a crack in the floor is killing you'll find it hard to hate the guy! some special effects DO look alittle poor but this movie is enjoyable! i personally rated this movie 7/10 & believe me thats good for a straight-to-video release, you might even recognise some of the characters, so horror fans buy this movie for the tradition of mad man killer movies! with abit of sex too. just watch for a crack in your floor!
