Alex Saveliev Film Threat The editing (by Smith) is so frenzied, each dialogue sliced and diced into so many cuts, it's as if copious amount of cocaine (energy drinks? Cocoa Puffs?) were consumed during the process. Rated: 5/10 Dec 22, 2020 Full Review Paul Grammatico Dread Central This piece of chilling cinema is more than your typical hillbilly saga. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese However much Backwoods wanted to do something current and topical with its premise, unfortunately it fails Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Brad P This piece of chilling cinema is more than your typical hillbilly saga. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It's basically Wong Turn without the mutants. This is mostly about the gore and not much else and has a somewhat generic feel to it with nothing standing out enough to elevate it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
