A pretty entertaining backwoods slasher film from director Jeff Lieberman.
it is very slow for the first hour or so, despite a nasty machete scene to the crotch. but is extremely atmospheric,with great scenery in the woods. and very well acted, especially by final girl Deborah benson, who plays arather interesting character . who starts off as the rather prim girl in sensible hiking attire, and later finds her sexy side in booty shorts and a revealing top . makes a change.
well recommended. could just have done with a bit more of the red stuff. 71 out of 100. | I didn't like this on first watch, but the overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and fans alike made me go back to it a year or so later and I really enjoyed it! It does get a lot better when they start getting knocked off though.
Am I right in thinking this in the one where they hike up the mountain but they forget something so a couple of them hike back to the van??
