Back in the day, ranger Don Maxwell (Robert Miano) has claimed a patch
of the woodlands his own after being fired, has married Mama (Lin Shaye),
and the two had two sons, Patton (Weston Cage Coppola) and Apple (Bailey
Coppola), who were malformed and mentally challenged though due to
poisoned water. They lived in peace for many years, but now a fracking
company wants to take over their lands, and they're up in arms - and
Patton and Apple soon enough take a liking for killing.
Grant (Bradley Stryker) leads a team (Emily Shenaut, Cory Crouser,
Brittany Benita, Luke B. Carlson, Caitlin Stryker, Tristan David Luciotti)
specialized in busting fake videos on the internet, and as a teambuilding
exercise he has hired guice and teambuilding guru Craig Eubanks (Adam
Bitterman) to take them to a camping trip near the land of the Maxwells -
also to debunk a popular myth about the family, but he doesn't tell that
to anyone. Suffice to say, he and his team soon fall prey to the Maxwells,
who have by now licked blood and react increasingly hostile against
trespassers.
Caught between everything is Ranger Rico (Rico E. Anderson), who
doesn't support the work of the frackers at all, but has to help their
cause inasmuch as the Maxwells live on their land illegally. So
eventually, and especially in the light of their killings, he has to face
the Maxwells - well knowing that the outcome will be bloody ...
Get Gone is by no means the reinvention of the wheel -
but in all honesty, slasher movies rarely are or set out to be. And that
off the table, Get Gone is a very effective backwoods shocker, with
rather creepy killers, all the kills in the right places, some interesting
characters on both sides of good and evil, and a really tense structure to
keep one on the edge of one's seat throughout. And add to that a slick
directorial effort and a solid cast, and you're in for some cool genre
entertainment.
