About
Not for you if you want a clever, suspenseful horror story with subtle thrills; it’s for fans of Chainsaw-style slasher chaos and extreme gore, and it may also appeal to viewers who like Halloween or Urban Legend.
Pros: lots of gore; gritty backwoods vibe; memorable soundtrack | Cons: weak plot; annoying dialogue; disturbing and brutal
