• Did All The Actors And Crew Write The Reviews On Here?

  HorrorOverEverything2012-05-11

  If you only read the first couple of reviews for this movie you would think its one of the best Slasher flicks in a while, but in reality it is not only mediocre but it had perhaps one of the most laughable plot lines in horror history. Now the last thing I expect when going into a slasher flick is originality, so it didn't bother me that this movie was basically just a rip off of every other backwoods/small town horror movie ever made. What bothered me was the unlikeable characters, terrible dialogue, and just the pure dullness of the first hour or so of the movie. The all around feel of the movie just felt so unprofessional and all over the place. There is a point in the film where the characters just keep returning to this diner to talk to this elderly woman behind the counter (who is easily the worst actress in the film), this got incredibly repetitive and I found myself screaming "SOMEBODY JUST DIE ALREADY!" I saw that one of the other reviewers on here said that if you enjoyed Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn that you will enjoy this film, that statement couldn't be further from the truth. The Hills Have Eyes and Wrong Turn were two excellent horror films that kept you on the edge of your seat with bizarre kills and fast paced story lines. This movie puts you to sleep for an hour than ends in a not so bloody mess and leaves you wondering why you sat through the whole thing. Another mediocre slasher that manages to be worse than all the other copy cats out there. Avoid it, 1/10

• I Paid For This?

  Besides being mediocre, this film was a straight pile of crap. Kitchen knives with double-sided blades, shovels as a main murder weapon, and a whole damn town in on a murderous conspiracy? WTH. Oh, and what the hell kind of undergraduate major writes a thesis about a pseudo-nonfiction book and the town it concerns? Is that for the Bachelor's of Science in Utter Crap? The idea for this movie had a great deal of potential, but it was poorly realized and executed. Also, guns. This is America, there are plenty of people exercising their 2nd amendment rights, so how is it that there is an entire town of people without a. single. freaking. gun.?!

• drivel, sobbing victims make noise so the killer knows where they are

  keithhr2012-05-12

  Not another total waste of time where the young girl always sobs away her location or falls down when she could have run away. Not another pig mask to make someone look primal. Girl sees her boyfriend dead and she tries to run away like she can barely move. The killers can never run but can outrun any pathetic victim they chase. This movie started out credibly enough and contained more beyond stupid outcomes than I've ever seen. I had to write this so I could say shame on you to whoever made this drivel. Shame, shame, shame on you, you untalented lousy film maker who should never be let near another camera again or one of your movie viewers should take care of you themselves for wasting their time. to reiterate, shame, shame, shame

• Run of the mill

  kosmasp2013-06-09

  Or was that away from the mill? There's no mill here of course. This still fits perfectly in the slasher genre formula. The teens, the baddie and a few other "surprises". The story is not really something to get too excited about. Unfortunately the gore/blood scenes are not that top notch either. Combine that with below the average acting from most connected to this and you get something you don't really have to watch. Don't start to wonder why character behave certain ways or why logic and reason will never apply to those kids/teens depicted in most of those movies (especially the ones at the bottom of the barrel). If it has to be a slasher movie, there are far better ones out there for you to choose from.

  Just got done watching this. I'd been looking forward to it for awhile. Synopsis sounded good, trailers looked decent, I'm disappointed. The acting was OK, in the beginning before it goes horror it was actually decent then it went downhill. It's an old plot, teens in the woods, backwards hillbilly town so there's nothing new or different but I've seen it done much better. My biggest problem with this movie though is the editing. From the knocks on the door not matching up with James hand to the sharp cuts and jumps. I did find out the disc I watched was defective and missing about 6 minutes so I'll up my rating a slight bit although I can't imagine 6 min could change my mind dramatically about this film.
