The tamest horror movie I've seen since _Garfield 2: A Tale of Two Kitties_.

A fun backwoods slasher flick. It can drag a little bit at times, but it is elevated by some solid performances and some great cinematography.

I love this movie! I don't know why its not more well known. There is an image of the character at the end that should be on a million posters and t-shirts by now. Not going to be specific so I don't have to do the spoiler thing. Watch the movie! If you like The Burning, The Final Terror, The Outing, etc, then....you've probably seen this one too. If not, please do!!!

I really liked the setting here and it is beautifully shot too! The teenagers are all not annoying, they aren't dumb, just very unlucky. And this final girl is freaking BAD ASS! Yes Connie (Deborah Benson)! You are a winner! The way you kill that dude was freaking fantastic! Anyway, the big "twist" was fun and well played out! And let us not forget about police captain Ed Hocken! I mean Roy McLean (George Kennedy)! Always fun to see him! So yeah, I went into this slasher flick without knowing anything about it and I had loads of fun. The setting is great, the murder caddle is fun and the killers are creepy enough. Though I do wish the murders were a bit more bloody but hey, can't win em' all! This is however a must watch for all horror/slasher fans!
