Thing is, against their expectations, they are not alone in the woods, and the guy who's there with them is a dangerous and malformed psychopath (John Migliore) - and when he introduces himself by slaughtering one of the group (Young), the others pretty much they're fucked ...<p> <p>A fun throwback movie to the 1980's that in one way really captures the spirit of yesteryear and features a nice string of vintage props (most charming, a Polaroid camera) as well as recreating the feel of slashers of old - but not without putting an ironic spin to it and featuring some post modern references (like one character hinting at the absence of smart phones in a highly original way) - and above all, it's really fun to watch, thanks to likeable characters (heck, even the psycho's likeable in a way), some great situation comedy, suitable meanness in all the right spots, and actually a pretty decent narrative buildup to it all.<p>Fun, really!<p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2014"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
