A group of Church Camp leaders are preparing for their child campers at Good Friends Church Camp near Big Timber State Park, Texas. Dr. Peter Shirtcliff (Michael Madsen) in on the trail of a monster of a man (Brandon Ford) who attacks this area every 30 years over a stolen flapjack recipe.The film is a spoof of 80's slasher films complete with blood, body parts, nudity, and irreverence. The church group is greeted by Theresa who was played by porn star Andy San Dimas. The film has numerous pancake and flapjack references...that tie into the unseen twist ending which again spoofs 80's slasher films. Great fun film for cheese lovers.Guide: F-bomb, sex, and ample nudity. 10 stars for nudity and cheese. Not for everyone.

Going out to the woods, the counselors of a bible study camp find that the area is home to a demonic logger who is intent on tormenting anyone who comes into the area and forces them to try to find a way of ending his rampage before he kills them all.This here turned out to be quite the fun and highly enjoyable slasher/comedy effort. What really helps this one get quite a bit of fun here is the rather fun and goofy comedic nature of what's happening though it still maintains a pretty serious attitude overall. The comedy is mostly centered around the absurdity of what happens throughout here being treated with the utmost seriousness and straight-faced mentality, which is all about the obsession and singular-minded fascination the killer has with pancakes. Bringing them along with him to every kill he unleashes, the incessant manner of drenching them in the blood of his victims and having them constantly be a focus here in the film with the way they're almost always on-screen makes the film's focus on them seem all the goofier for all the time it's here, especially once it's all tied together with the explanation back-story that's so inherently goofy and silly that it becomes wholly enjoyable. As well, there's the other comedic virtues present here with the way this one treats the killer who tends to almost always treat the encounters here as there's a jokey quality they all react to him appearing before them. There's a great deal of laughs to come from how they all meet up with him thinking the entire set-up is a joke as well as the actual kill methods here that are carried out just absurdly that there's little not to like here. Even the fact that this is a Bible Camp means there's some fun times to come along here, with this going for the group blatantly ignoring the religious commandments for a wholly enjoyable time where it plays with many of the conventions here where it really enhances the sleaze and depravity that's to be expected around a film set in this kind of environment. Once all the fun is over, the fact that there's still some solid horror elements at play makes this one even better as the hulking killer comes off as a truly imposing figure, the numerous kills are quite creative and graphic enough to satisfy the true gore-hounds with how they get pulled off and it has some chilling stalking scenes that are pretty chilling even if they're somewhat played for laughs. The various stalking scenes in the woods come off rather nicely with the numerous confrontations throughout here which all manage to set-up the final massacre at the camp during the dinning hall sequence which is all sorts of fun with numerous kills, some great humor and thrilling action that comes along with how this one finally gets resolved which makes for a really enjoyable time. Even with all this fun stuff on-display there's a few minor negative points here with the big one being the overlong running time as there's no way this one should be over a hundred minutes. A lot of that is taking the absurdity and comedy to it's fullest potential, which in the end stretches out the comedy far more than it really needs to and making the film too long. As well, the comedy is a little too much for some which can lead to some bland watches with the fact that there's some utterly goofy stuff happening when it really doesn't need it. Otherwise this one here was a lot of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Nudity, some sexual content and drug use.

Maybe you have to be in the right mood with the right taste in comedy to enjoy this movie, which is why I think many other reviews are negative. But dang it if I wasn't in the right mood with the right taste in comedy. That doesn't make it a great movie, but it was just the right amount of blood, boobs, and genuine chuckles that I wanted.My advice for enjoying it would be not to expect a good horror movie. It's a decent comedy that alternates between self-aware mockery and nonsensical goofiness (though it's not always 100% clear if it's on purpose).I'd love to hear a director's commentary on this. I'm sure it would be a lot of: "We don't know why we did it this way, but it was funny." or "This didn't quite work, but we left it in." "They didn't have lines, so we let them say whatever."

This is meant to be part of the After Dark's 8 films to die for Horrorfest. I am not fussy when it comes to horror, but their standards are REALLY sliding! This was badly acted, scripted, shot and in fact bad in every department. The comedy falls flat. The characters' stupidity is beyond reason! They are stereotyped, unlikeable brain-dead twits! They stand there while the killer prepares to kill them! The killer's only weakness is an allergy to pancake syrup?! I mean WHAT THE %3@&! Another gripe is the very long running time of 105 minutes. It should be cut down to 80 minutes. The content of this movie does not have enough for the excessive running time. This is not a B movie in a good way....This is a complete disaster! Michael Madsen appears to really need a paycheck for appearing in this one! My very first F in the usually high standard After Dark label. AVOID!!!!
