When a group of young campers wander into the backwoods of upstate New York to see if Cappy's Cabin--a place they think exists only in urban legend--is real, they find themselves in a twisted game of predator and prey as night begins to fall. All they have to do is survive until dawn, but Cappy is very, very real, and night has only just begun...

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I won't get too far into this movie because others have. I will say that it seems that most people hate this movie because it is a cheap movie, cheap actors, cheap special effects (although some were pulled off well), and a cheap, overused plot. The movie was not bad considering it was a shot on DV movie made for a fraction of a movie like Saw (III - VII) and it did not suck as bad as those films. I am sure people went in expecting a Hollywood 11 million dollar movie. The movie's plot is simple: six kids get lost in Central Florida woods where they are hunted by a wood family after the half-wit brother kills their friend, and they witness it. Of course they are stranded far away from law enforcement and any way to get a hold of the authorities. Even though it's a tired plot, I think the movie was put together and carried out well. One thing that caught my attention was that two cast member's names were almost definitely inspired by Manson Family members Cappy Gilles (Cappy) and Clem Grogan (Clem). I found that interesting. All in all, the movie does still deliver a nice atmosphere, especially if you are from Central Florida as I am. Central Florida woods deliver a look and feel that no other place can deliver. If you are expecting a masterpiece, this will suck. If you are expecting a cheap shot on DV movie, you may like it.

Just when I thought a flick could not get worse, I find this toilet stuffer. I suppose this was low budget, but the acting, if you call it that, could have been done better by an average group of juvenile school drop outs.In any event, I suppose, if you watch this as a comedy, it is good to feature on your plasma as you converse with friends or do other things, peeking at the screen when you reach a very dull moment. I do mean, a very dull moment.The woods are not scary, they look more like an RV park. The actors are horrible so, what can I say? If you have nothing better to do watch this movie as you sleep. You won't really be missing much of a show.

This low-budget horror flick manages to be just bad enough to be entertaining. Like a cross between "Growing Up Gotti," "Stand By Me," "My Side of the Mountain," and, well, "The Hills Have Eyes," the filmmaker put together a combination of elements so bizarre you can't stop watching--even though you will seriously consider it, several times.We've got Carmine, who might have been kicked off an episode of "The Sopranos" for being too over-the-top, and a fat kid, and some other kids. They are hiking in the woods, and quickly become prey for a mentally retarded redneck, his redneck brother, and their redneck dad, Cappy. Fortunately, despite his short stature (or perhaps because of it), Carmine knows some sweet moves to defend himself and the boys. As an added bonus, one of the kids brought along a copy of an excellent survival guide, containing tips which, skimmed briefly, can teach a bunch of city kids how to outsmart three grown men who've lived in the woods their whole lives.Throw in one completely pointless hot-blonde-hillbilly-girl, an army of cops who couldn't find a mountain if they were staring at it, and five minutes of Carmine shirtless, and you have yourself a great little flick to get drunk and laugh at. I will leave you with a quote, from the town sheriff: "Oh, Cappy, Cappy, Cappy. What have you done?"

The movie was not the best, but at the same time I did enjoy it, its nothing big and it won't ever win any awards. But I still think it was good, they could have done with a better ending! but I would tell you only to rent if you know what you are getting yourself into, if you like low budget slasher independent films then I say you watch this. Now they said it was based on true events, I do not know how true that is, because it just seemed like the story has been done before. The acting is not to bad, some of the cast could have done better. But like I said I did enjoy the movie, maybe even enough to watch it again. All I'm saying is that there are better movies out there but there is also worse ones for sure. But if you do enjoy film, I think you should watch this.
