Freakin sick but fairly entertaining.


I liked this, the acting could have used a lot of work but there's no arguing that it didn't fill the gore quota very nicely.

If you expect the unexpected doesn't the unexpected then become the expected?

I was neutral on it after watching it. I gave it to my dad (who is 79) and he said this morning on the phone that he thought it was a good movie and had plenty of gore in it.

Haha, that sounds about right. If you're really young and haven't seen many horror movies you might think this is good. Or if you're really old and haven't seen a horror movie in a while you might think this had a lot of gore in it.

For the rest of the population who watches this movie, it's absolute CRAP. Not even worth watching, it did literally NOTHING right. Acting, directing, writing, characters, locations, pacing, etc... was ALL wrong. It's the same 'young people vs crazy hicks' set up we've seen before, but no sense of fun or heart behind it. Why was this movie even made? The people making it didn't want to be there and had no clue what they were doing, and the people watching it don't like it. What was the point?

And what's with people on here saying the gore was good? Nobody dies in the first 2/3 of the movie! Anyone can shoot 60 mins of nothing happening, who cares? Maybe they're talking about all the behind the back shots where someone gets stabbed/cut and we don't see it? Maybe the animal meat covered in ketchup they eat a couple times that's supposed to be human meat and scary? I dunno. There were maybe 2 or 3 good gore scenes, which in a 90 minute movie is not nearly enough. Seriously, you see more gore in the new Rambo action movie than this feces stain of a 'horror' flick.

Skip this garbage and take a nap for 90 mins instead. It's a much better use of your time and money...
