Some problems I had with this movie...Spoilers


I saw this movie once when I was a kid, I just watched it again yesterday, I forgot how bad it was. It had the potential to be a really good horror film but it seemed like they were just making stuff up as they went. Here is my list of problems with this movie.

-The flashes were freaken pointless and they gave too much away, and took away alot of the shock value.

-The drive to the site was draged out, they were just filming them drive around.

-Horrible acting!

-The rape scene, how far from the camp were they, no one could hear her screaming. Also the guy ripped open her shirt but just before he kills her her shirt if buttoned back up.

-When the guy came back to the camp after killing his girl, no one noticed the blood on him.

-In my opinion you could really feel a Evil Dead infulence on this movie.

I could go on but that would just upset me....lol

According to the director's commentary this film got butchered by the distributor without his consent when it was released, and all the flashbacks and superimposed shots of the chanting Indian head were added by them.
