Did you people see the same film I saw?

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I do watch some trash, but I generally get a level of something - even if it's poor acting or a shoddy storyline, there's usually something you can grip onto. I just finished watching this and I have no idea what it was about or what happened. The last thing I understood was a family trip to some woods and the family found a woman outside who took advantages of their hospitality, drinking their milk. I've rewound it, paused it, read up on it, asked other people about it. I'm still none the wiser. Don't waste your life on this - watching the movie is a horror in itself.

How the heck can they make absolute keech like this.No story whatsoever just a load of ideas mixed into a pot and pulled out a hedge backwards.The movie is totally nonsensical as the other reviewers have pointed out, good acting yes and some gore but not a lot. I love how they do all the special effects in these low budget crappers in the darkness so you cant really see the mistakes and poor effects. Could hardly make out what was going on half the time.It was a nightmare from a damaged brain that wrote this and he should seriously seek psychiatric help.Witches who can see the future by impregnating people with the root of a tree or some such then cutting their heads off and burning them , what was the baby at the beginning all about - I doubt even the writers know!Wait for the after credits scene they seem to think it adds something to the movie lol

Traveling out to the woods, a family renting a cabin-in-the-woods to help heal a fallen family member find that the mysterious intruder they find in the woods is harboring far more demonic and deadly secrets than they expected and turns their weekend into a nightmarish struggle to survive.This was a rather fun and overall enjoyable effort. One of the most impressive elements featured here is the way this one manages to weave together a truly gripping and somewhat creative storyline together. The central concept of the visit out to the remote cabin which is a dual-ended setup with the real-time layout of the trip and the concurrent TV-show presentation looking back over the incident in the past-tense. This is wholly unique and enjoyable with the entire concept taking a rather inventive series of twists and turns as this plays out but overall coming off with a stellar concept. Once this dives into the more overt supernatural aspects of the storyline, this one has a lot of fun playing up the antics of the past. By turning into a rather fun mixture between supernatural entity, home invasion-styled slasher and a killer-in-the-woods style effort, this mix provides wholly engaging and frantic ideas here. The fantastic early setup here, from the pre-credits attack on the couple in the woods to the startling first shot of the possessed going crazy in the dining room taking out the first members of the group and getting in some great action with several brawls to get them under control while the hysteria and freakouts are genuinely featured. Even employing the demonic body-hopping concept in fine form here with the scenes of the various possessed family members turning and contorting into vicious demon-like beings has a lot to like in that regard which makes this one of the best scenes in the film. With that scene setting the stage for the terrific final half, that ratchets up the tension really nicely by turning the action into a fun series of setpieces not only around the cabin but also the surrounding woods. With the turned demonic beings hunting down and targeting the remaining members in several brief and somewhat enjoyable confrontations that are given far more weight once the big showdown occurs which manages to offer up a truly stellar finale with her going around confronting the various demonic beings which has a lot of great action and vicious gore on offer. Playing into the twist with the need for the TV show coverage and how that turned around on her that has a great final reveal full of fantastic practical effects that sell this incredibly well. Overall, these here are what makes for a great time over it's few minor flaws. Among the main problems to be had with this one is the overall confusing nature of the storyline on the first watch, as there's no real preparation here for the dual nature of what's going on. It's somewhat distracting to notice that the main storyline detailing the events of this family's encounter in the woods is sometimes interrupted by the true-crime story about the events which are over-the-top dramatization about her as if what's going on is common knowledge. The way it turns that setup into the full twist around gives this a kind of odd tone that really undermines the twist by giving it away from the beginning ruins a lot of what's going on. As well as the slightly abrupt running time that could've offered a bit more detailing the purpose of the group and what they're about, these here are all that hold this back.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and underage smoking.

I watched it last night and was pleasantly surprised with how bloody/gory the film is. the gore is 100% practical and it's fantastic/well done. Barbara Crampton is excellent as an antagonist (that's not a spoiler since it's in the trailer). Brea Grant is very good too and kick ass as the mother trying to save her family. my only complaint about it is the storyline is incredibly stupid and makes little to no sense. it also has an idiotic fake tv show (a Dateline/Crime story type show on the actual family in the film) within the movie which i hated. LOL. but again the blood/gore is so full on that it makes up for it. you have decapitations, arms cut off, branches stabbed into eyes/faces, etc. etc. there's even a full on transformation complete with those special fx facial bladder things (like in THE HOWLING). bad storyline aside this movie is a fun 80's style film that fans of practical FX gore/blood will get a kick out of!
