If you're a huge horror fan like me, you know you run low on options sometimes. This site comes in handy when you come across an obscure one that you don't know anything about. Good way of saving time and avoiding the train-wrecks. Anyhow, I went against the overwhelmingly bad reviews. Something about friends doing road trips to secluded places..that campy experience..nothing supernatural involved...right up my alley. Figured what the hell, I'll give it 15 minutes. Long story short, I loved this damn movie. I loved the characters. For amateur actors, they did a hell of a job. And the twist...the twist got me. Horror movies are so cliché now, you can guess the twist long before it happens. I guess it's that I just didn't see any reason to suspect a twist. The movie was so straightforward. You can usually see them coming from a mile away. Not this time. If any of you have ever seen "Adam & Evil"..It has terrible reviews on here too but I loved it. Same general plot, not as good as this though. Bottom line: Obviously I'm in the minority, but I'm not an idiot. I've seen probably a thousand horror movies. I know garbage when I see it. That said, I loved this movie. Give it a shot if you come across it. Find it on the internet or at the bottom of a clearance rack DVD bin. You might be surprised. PS. I gave it a 10 just based on the principle. People throwing 1 star ratings at it is absurd. So count me in on the absurdity.

Was this a movie? Because I'm not impressed at all. I'd not only want my money back, but would sue the producers for playing with feces! No plot. Bunch of rejects. The nature is very nice. Acting...none. Ripping off the Blair witch dolls...totally wrong. Couple of slim, underfed inbred characters (no makeup! cheap...) chasing much bigger pray and killing it with a pointy stick (or a branch, that thing was super stupid). I hated this. I still do.Do not watch this. IF you value your money and time. But if you like to see a typical failing in horror movie production, then it would be acceptable.

Supposedly true story of a massacre that happened around Sam's Lake. The plot has a group of friends who go to the lake in order to reconnect and get away. However when they go to a run down house in the woods where a massacre occurred years earlier (The "true" part of the tale), things begin to take a turn for the worse as they begin to be hunted.Surprisingly good horror film has a great deal of mood and few nice twists that keep things moving, once things get moving. The problem here is that the film moves in fits and starts for almost an hour before the film gets up the speed to really take off. Honestly the film at first seemed like a well made but stereotypical story of people going into the woods and running into trouble. Then things began to build once they actually got to the woods with the story sequence building a nice bit of tension. However its not until the diary scene that the film truly springs to life and begins its race to the end. The trick is getting to the diary since my that time almost an hour has passed and not much else.(Too much teasing) Still once the film gets going its pretty good. I like that the film isn't overly gory or graphic, building the fear and the tension on the basis of the characters and the events not the blood and guts.For those willing to wait it out I recommend this. Those needing instant gratification are directed elsewhere.

This film uses the tried-and-true gimmick of putting a bunch of young people together in a wilderness cabin and then terrorizing them. It is not terribly original in this way. However, as a film, it succeeds where many Hollywood attempts at this same thing fail as the story is taut, accomplishes the goal of creating anxiety, and has a bit of a different twist on who is behind the terror and why. All the actors are unknown, but do a decent job. While the film is low-budget, it looks okay. Those seeking a really scary and unique experience with lots of blood and scares will be disappointed. If you are bored and cannot find anything else at the video store and you want an okay experience with this stock type of film you should be satisfied. As far as films, and particularly horror films go, this one is no where near the top, but it is nowhere near the bottom where the stupid, silly, and goofy lie.
