Guess what? More young people trapped in the woods with blood crazed nutjobs.This stupefyingly unoriginal and relatively inexplicit formula movie is nicely photographed, and performed with gusto and commitment.The worst thing about it is not the unoriginality, however, it is the fact that the characters are even more stupid than usual - when they turn the tables on their captors they fail to take any action to prevent their captors getting the upper hand once more, for instance, when running away they don't grab any of the weapons which are lying around, and so on.Could be they deserve what they get.

This movie was absolutely terrifying. I'm sure it'll run through my mind when I drive through some of those back-woods places. The characters were grotesque and I don't think I'll *ever* watch this movie again, but it served its purpose. I don't know whether it was a cold room or getting the bejesus scared out of me, but i shivered quite a bit. Right off hand I'm gonna tell that this movie isn't anything you haven't seen before. It has a typical horror movie set up: a bunch of young people in the woods in the backcountry of some state who run into a bunch of psychos who want to hunt them down and butcher them. If you're thinking " wow, that sounds a lot like the Texas Chain Saw Massacre", well, you'd be thinking right. There's even a gas station scene with a weird creepy hick. But I'm not trying to convey the message that is a Chain saw Massacre rip-off. Texas Chain Saw Massacre was awesome, so I see no problem in people wanting to make more movies like it. But anyways, Backwoods offers nothing new to genre, it's just a plain good ole slice 'em and dice 'em popcorn horror flick. It's not trying to be exceptional, it's just trying be a horror film with enough blood, gore and thrills to suffice any horror fan for the 84 duration time, and in that context, it succeeds.

YOU MAY NOT COME OUT!Backwoods Is one of the best straight to video horror movies and especially sequels I have seen. The gore is abundant and the effects are very well done. Haylie Duff is the stand out in the cast of good actors.. I loved Wrong Turn & Hills Have Eyes and had reservations about liking this one but it did not disappoint in the least.The characters were likable and the mutants were taken to a new level by adding female monstrosities and incestuous siblings. I have watched it about 4 times already and will watch it many more times . When I find a slasher movie especially a slasher in the woods movie I like from this era I'm so pleased because I'm a big fan of the early 80's slashers but every once in awhile a new movie comes out that satisfies me like this movie. Don't listen to the haters ..It's a great slasher flick. I actually like this one better than the first because it's unapologetically politically incorrect and oozes in your face gore and carnage.

I like horror films to make me jump or scream. This one did. Yes, it's the same basic premise we've seen many times in this type of movie, but the plot isn't really what I watch these movies for. Also, there's plenty of new twists/elements in this one. This movie really had me cheering for the "good guys" - I was glad I'd watched it by myself, as the last 20 minutes or so really had me screaming at the TV, cheering the kids on. I really enjoyed watching this movie, and am buying a copy to share with my horror loving friends. Backwoods was apparently produced for Spike TV, so don't expect to see much in the way of blood and gore. (Needless to say, there's no nudity whatsoever.) Some old-fashioned traps make the chase scenes through the forest somewhat interesting, but I pretty much relied on Haylie Duff's hotness to get me through the film's 80 minute runtime (although I must admit I got quite a kick out of watch a mortally wounded techie put on an amazing show of shooting bad guys without even aiming.) If you're a horror fan, Backwoods is certainly a watchable film, but you won't see anything here you haven't seen before.
