Firstly, I have to say that I had a great time watching this movie but that's probably because I love those kinds of movies. The Redwood Massacre is a (really) low budget film with lots and lots of blood and features a serial killer hunting down a group of campers. Its plot is just that simple.Lets start with the good points of the film, and at this point I have to say that I just loved the scenery shown in the movie as well as the inside of the Redwood house. They were really great and the costumes were well-made too. I also liked the variety of the murder scenes and the variety of weapons-tools the killer used. There was a lot action and killings throughout the film so in that aspect you won't easily get bored.On the other hand, The Redwood Massacre has lots of flaws too. Most of the cast are doing a mediocre job at best but that can't be helped because of the low budget. I enjoyed the death scenes a lot but some of them weren't that well-thought and they really overdid it with the blood. So even though the death scenes are visually enjoyable and bloody(if you like that style) some of them seem unnatural. Also, the quality of the movie drastically drops after the one hour mark. The last 30 minutes of the movie are nowhere as good as the rest of it. Last but not least, in this movie you will find one of the most unnecessary and stupid side-characters found in a movie ever(I won't spoil details so just watch it and see for yourself).I will give this movie a 6 because I myself liked it and as an appreciation of the effort made in a low budget movie but an objective review would be lower.My advice; watch it if you like bloody slashers but don't expect much of a plot or something "new" or avoid it if you prefer more serious horror films, you won't find that here.

This film is seriously a fun gory film for the modern age. If you are a fan of gory slasher films, then this one is definitely for you. Being a fan of the sub-genre, I personally love this film. And another reason why this film is actually really good is the actors and actresses! They were ACTUALLY GOOD!!! I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it. And the kills in the film were extremely graphic and shocked me with every death. It gives the feeling of the modern gorefest films like Frontiers and High Tension (Which I love and I love that I an add this one to the list of awesome gory films!) I give this film *********/10 (9/10 stars) It's just a film that you need to go in with an open mind and just have fun with it!!

*******SPOILER ALERT - THIS FILM IS SH*TE*******I must admit that I thought I might rather enjoy this movie when it started - given the hammy acting, loud eerie music over every scene and desperate lack of anything you could conceivably call a plot, I thought this might be a decent parody. Believe it or not, this isn't a parody.Quick summary of the 'plot' - a whole bunch of Scottish people get chibbed in the woods by - wooo, spooky! - some c*nt with a sack on his head. At no point is any attempt made to discuss or uncover this individual's motivation, what drives him to kill, or why he has a cock in a jar back at his murder shack - unless you count the brief mention that he's an "evil farmer" (of course!). If you want a chuckle, skip to the laughably absurd storytelling scene where we see a flashback to Jethro butchering his surprisingly obliging family - a particularly awful piece of acting that makes "Xena the Warrior Princess" look as real as "The Wire", and yet another reason why the whole film should have been made a comedy. In my opinion a great opportunity was missed by not including the line "Can I Axe you a question?".As it stands, the only way anyone could see this absolute dross as any kind of achievement is if it was done for a school project. In fact, I strongly suspect that the individual who rated this 10/10 may in fact be the directors mum. Please, stop deluding yourselves that "British film" has to mean "crap film". Watch the b*llocks origin story for a laugh then turn this off and get on with your life.If you thought the acting in your school drama class was a real cultural experience and your enjoy gallons of red paint and plot holes the size of the ginger chick's eyebrows, then this is for you.

I try to applaud low budget film making as it's not easy to get a movie off the ground, hence I decided to give this movie a shot. But low budget doesn't mean it has to defy logic and lack any, even half, decently written characters.Fo starters I am a big fan of old horrors that used light and shadow to build up tension and dread in every scene (the original Cat People being a great example of this) But this was made in 2014 not 1942, and this is in colour. The low lighting in the opening, woodland scene, might create great shadows but it looks totally unrealistic and distracting in a modern colour film. Then there's the killer! He kills everyone with either a large knife, machete or axe. Thats it. He's a slasher, nothing fancy about him. So why oh why, when he has the girl with the crazy painted eyebrows tied down, does he look at some of his tools like he's decided with which one to make the first incision. He's a slasher not one of life's more sophisticated killers. But, before he does this, he toys with her with a pair of shears then just cuts open her shirt. That's it. He puts the shears down, looks at a few tools then stabs her like he does every other victim. The guy is a serial killer equivalent of a simpleton. He would no more think about what knife to use as he would what finger to use to scratch his bum.The guy with the gun baffled all logic as well. He has a shot gun, he's holding the door closed preventing the killer from getting in. So what does he do? He gives the gun to a girl and tells her to run while he holds the door. WHAT THE HELL!!! Just let the killer in and shoot him! This level of stupidity may have been excusable in the 70s and 80s but not now. The audience has moved on.Then there's the ending! A girl escapes and runs into a guy driving a van. We see them drive off across the highlands of Scotland (not a tree in sight) In the next scene its dark, the driver claims he has taken a wrong turning, and they are back in the woods?! How the hell this has happened I don't know as its not exactly teeming with roads in the Scottish Highlands. Follow a road long enough and you'll come to a village. This is Scotland not the back woods of America. But guess what, they just happened to end up back where the killer is!! Next (and this is the best part) she runs away and ends up...... Wait for it....... In a scrap yard!!!!! How the Flip did that happen. One minute its the bare but beautiful Scotish Highlands, then its woodland but now (all of a sudden) she's surrounded by scrap cars! Now I know that in movies they often play with geography in order keep the movie flowing (how often have we seen car chases move from one street to another that we know is actually miles from the first) but we can forgive this in the narrative and locale of the film. But moving from Barren hills and occasional woodland to the middle of a scrap yard is just plain dumb. As I have said before, this is Scotland NOT America. Unfortunately, I think the makers of this mess thought it was.
