BigD J The only positive thing I can say about this movie is that it’s meditative… in that it put me to sleep, quite literally. Boring and dull in every way imaginable, up to and including the kill scenes. Oh and as a sports fan, I enjoyed the vintage Oilers hat. Relatively cool venue with wasted potential. Even though this review page says ‘83, I believe the film was actually from ‘81. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Increíble que alguien filme semejante disparate. Horrible. De lo peor. Pésima. Todos los adjetivos peyorativos se quedan cortos para describir esta idiotez sin pies ni cabeza. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Steven W A poor example of horror and slasher the film is complete mess there's no suspense tension or dread or even a real story or anything this is a perfect example of first time filmmaking develop the story and the characters Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/19 Full Review Audience Member Pretty bad and not scary Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of people think this is wes cravens 1996 scream. But it's not. And it's a very boring movie that has really nothing going for it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's shockingly inept. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it (and not in a good way). For starters, there are about 18 characters. That's not a problem for most movies, but this is a "lost in the middle of nowhere" movie. How is anyone supposed to keep track of who's who? To make matters worse, the first twenty minutes has almost no dialogue at all. Then the rest of the movie is full of long stretches of no dialogue. Actually, there are stretches where nothing happens for absolutely no reason. The most bizarre moment for me was when one of the older campers is standing by the door and they're all talking about how someone could be the killer. The old man says something, and then the camera holds on him for about five seconds. Then it cuts to about 20 seconds of showing closeups of walls before cutting back to the old man standing at the door and the scene continuing. What the hell was the point of that edit?! That's what this movie is filled with. It's barely 80 minutes of desperate editing to make a feature length movie. The ending is... confusing. They never show the killer (if they did, I blinked) and it's not fully explained. I think I get it, but... if I understand it correctly then that's one of the dumbest endings they could come up with (that there town was haunted!). But I may be wrong because this movie is so bad that your mind goes numb. Stay away... dear god, stay away from this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
