Four couples and a goofy guide go camping and meet a homicidal woman with a neck fetish.

Reel Film Reviews

...a forgettable and mostly unwatchable misfire with few similarities to Davis' subsequent (and vastly superior) output.

Rated: 1/4

More of a survivalist adventure with slasher elements than a straightforward kill-'em-off

While it's absolutely not a game changing film by any means, The Final Terror is still a really solid horror movie that holds up thanks to a few unique twists and gleefully gory kills to boot.

Rated: 3/5

The Final Terror isn't the slasher classic that Halloween and Friday the 13th are.

[Blu-ray Review] "The Final Terror" has been entirely unavailable in the U.S. since the days of VHS, but it fully earns the right to be rediscovered on Scream Factory's outstanding Blu-ray release.

No Terror, just boring.

Interesting, but with an overtalky first half, and a strange conclusion, movie about a group of kids who go out into the forest and find something or someone stalking them. Has a bit of suspense and a good cast, but not entirely worth your time.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Plays more like a Predator-like survival horror flick than it does a slasher. But it doesn't do that very well either. It's okay, it'll pass the time if you're really hungry for a cheesy old horror flick, but it's not anything to remember...

Had some definite potential, clearly playing off a Friday the 13th type of vibe. The pacing is done well, leaving the viewer never really bored and waiting for action. Certainly not spectacular by any means, but a good enough early 80's horror flick.

Group of campers are terrorized in this routine stalk-and-slash feature. Completely unremarkable-right down to the generic title. Filmed in 1981 but not released until 1983 as some cast members (particularly Daryl Hannah) had emerged from obscurity.

Would've gotten a 4 star from me if it weren't for the lame abrupt ending.
