Having seen dozens upon dozens of slasher and slasher-like films, I have to give this a slightly above average grade in comparison. Sure, there are weak performances, and there is silly dialog, and missing plot points, but there's strong points that make up for the lesser. The pacing is pretty good, and the effects are well-done. The killer does not always go for a knife, and that helps to add to the interest. It's fun to see Gary Busey do an over-the-top performance, and it's brief too which is a plus. It's sad to see Bo Hopkins look like Santa Claus but his acting is as decent as it's always been, on a character actor level. Several other young performers do well here, and some don't, and the first of the group of campers to get killed is the one we want to see out of the film too. The killer is pretty gargantuan and it is all very reminiscent of the 1980 shocker HUMONGOUS. The problem that causes the most detriment is that the killer does not have his story told well enough. There needed to be more of his childhood than what was told, plus there is never a resolution regarding the death of his mother which is expected but ends up unknown, did he get vengeance or not? We want to learn that but don't. Of course it's left open-ended just in case a direct-to-video sequel was possible.

Apparenlty this is suppose to be a horror/triller movie. Laughed so hard, one of the worst movies I have seen in a while. Acting is awful. Filming is terrible. Special effects, if that is what they are suppose to be, are as good as any you can create at home yourself. Used a 'known' name to attract people. There are actually other recognizable people in this movie, I am not sure why they agreed to be in this. The most money was spent on the cover/poster for this movie. I felt tricked into renting it, the DVD case made it appear to not be as bad as it was, I guess the saying of 'Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover' applies here.Worth watching, just so you can see how bad it really is.

The girls in this movie were pretty cute! AC SLATER was also in this movie which was cool! It's funny how Gary Busey was the selling point for this film, but like he is only in it for like 2 minutes! hahaha. But still, he talks about screwing monkeys and stuff so I guess it's worth it right? The murder scenes are awfulllllll. Like There is this one part where buddy throws a pitch fork at the sheriff and impales him. But the shot of the pitch fork travelling through the air is sooooo awful! hahaha! It's ver EVIL DEAD-ish.The movie is bad enough to be good. Like on a bad movie scale, this is for sure a 7 or 8. Not so much because it's so ridiculous, but for the sake of it being extremely cheesy and corny. Everyone is on the up and up, it's like in between shots they would all go play fooze ball or ultimate Frisbee.

This one of a kind, brilliant horror movie starring Mario Lopez, Tracy Scoggins and Gary Busey will scare the bejesus out of you. A group of hikers happens upon a seemingly deserted cabin out in woods. Little do they know the unthinkable awaits them. A deranged and isolated man, Jeremiah, who's last contact with civilization came 33 years ago, sees them, stalks them, and... And there's the greatest scene with Gary Busey in which he plays a country bumpkin who's a few cans short of a twelver. Gives new meaning to the term "chickenhead." Think Hannibal Lecter, if you know what I'm saying.Don't wait to see this orgasmically exciting and wonderfully horrific movie! That is, if you dare.
