A bunch of ugly (with the exception of the blonde) non actors go for a fun weekend in the woods, despite warnings from the non actor locals to stay away, apparently there's a maniacal killer called Cyrus up there who doesn't take kindly to visitors! Zero marks for originality, but then that's something us slasher movies fans happily accept. The camerawork, sound, acting & script are all very poor and whilst the special effects look like they've been done by a school kid the body count at least is quite high, and old Cyrus is pretty creepy. There are two types of bad movies - those that are just painful to watch; and those that are so bad they are fun. In my opinion this falls into the latter category. Apparently this has somehow spawned 2 sequels & I shall certainly be looking to check them out.

This hyper low budget slasher flick tells the story of a redneck poisoned with pure LSD who lives out in the woods, broken minded and psychotic.The killer looks ridiculous, the deaths are pitiful and the level of entertainment on display is simply non-existent.The whole thing is so very disjointed and amateurish with a cast who have come from nothing and will go onto nothing.Dire stuffThe Good: It endedThe Bad: Looks dreadfulBad sound balancing in placesKiller looks terribleNo originality at all Things I Learnt From This Movie: A person who has slept with every boyfriend you've ever had would be referred to as a prude Upon learning that a potential killer is in their house a parents priority will be to get the babysitter out and not acknowledge the kids

I'm not sure what film the other reviewer on here saw but the DARK SHADE CREEK I watched was a complete piece of junk and nothing more than a waste of time slasher effort. Once against the plot is of the old, very tired, let's-go-camping-in-the-woods variety, as a bunch of airhead guys take a trip that quickly turns deadly.Most of the running time consists of a bunch of guys hanging around in a garage and chatting about everyday trivia. Exciting it isn't. The low budget look is very typical and the film lacks the kind of style or effort to make it a good one. The gore literally consists of lumps of raw meat being chucked around. I hated it.

If you are a horror buff, you will have seen a film like this before: a mixed group head off to the woods, ignore warnings from the locals, encounter ghoul...You know the rest. How many of them are killed? Is there a twist in the ending? Are there other bad guys? It matters not. This film is about murder. And murder. And murder. There is no plot as such, but reasonably good mild special effects. The soundtrack is, um, eclectic.Having said all that, and yes, it is rubbish, it was made on a budget of $500, largely by one family, and frankly it is no worse than many similar films with several hundred times the bankroll. The major criticism to be made of it is that it is too slow, far too slow in places, but in comparison with the aforementioned far more expensive efforts, the people who put it together have nothing of which to be ashamed.
