Story: The film follows John Crenshaw as he accompanies his girlfriend and her students on a weekend nature-photography expedition deep into the woods. What should be an educational and fun-filled weekend turns into horror as the group is besieged by an unspeakable evil - a horde of hideously disfigured, mutated humans with an insatiable taste for blood. As things go from bad to worse, Crenshaw becomes their only hope if they are going to get out alive.
Likes : Well this was a slightly underrated film too say the least , but i wouldn't expect any Oscar winner performance as it a pretty average film but still good to watch as Paul Logan is pretty bad ass in this film.
The best way i could describe this film is Rambo meets Wrong turn as a bunch of deformed people run by a murder that escape prison prey of campers only this time mess's with the wrong person. The fight scene are pretty well choreograph with some brilliant scene of a one man army with silent deadly strike from the shadows portraying a navy seal perfect.
The film isn't with out its gore , there is alot of it with some pretty hardcore R-rated scene of limb being dismembered , if you are gore fan you wont be disappoint although some scene maybe disturbing as the film does involve gang rap which is pretty vicious.
The acting is pretty solid , although the character are a little clear cut with the snobby rich kid & the over sexed teens which is typical thing with horror films these days. This does have it moments that you really cringing when you hear the neck snap to the limps being broken but this is what entertaining about this film watch the good guy beat the bad guys.
This may appeal to some people but i can see this film isn't going to be for everyone but its it slightly underrated as it's not as bad as its made out to be.
Dislikes : I do feel the film was missing a few things , its felt a bit short before things started happening , it could of had a bigger build up which is a shame because the concept of the film is good but lacking that build up.
Overall : Great fight scene, bloody gore , Not bad acting.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7 out of 10 for concept
