It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

hello there, don't understand the bad critics, where i admit, the music choice is terrible, and yes it is a low budget film, BUT the idea, the end, and every 5 minutes some die....thats what means slasher ,-) don't get me wrong, it is not one of the best horror/slasher movies, but there are so much bader films and acotrs and they get better rating. this here don't deserve so low rating, but look and take your own opinion, i liked it and especially the end. try it outgreeting from cologne, Germany

This film makes Dr Giggles (previously my worst ever film) look good. The acting is poor, the storyline is poor, the Gore is poor! I thought that the spoof zombie film shown at the end of Super 8 was better. I said after 2 minutes - it's the teacher - granted there is a bit of a twist at the end which I hadn't counted on but that doesn't gain any points. If you want to see Kenny from south park throw a precision axe while the victim stands perfectly still - probably from stage fright because they've forgotten their lines then this could be the film for you. Luckily I watched this film on the horror channel on sky so had the adverts to look forward to for entertainment.

Group of teenagers. Cottage in the woods. Mad axeman. Last one standing. Ludicrously stupid behaviour. Preposterous twist ending.Yes, it's one of those. I think the thing which impressed me most - or depressed me most, if you will - was the degree of stupidity exhibited by the teenagers. I am sure it is possible to do one of these films and have the group not split up so that they can be picked off one by one, or not go down into the cellar in the dark, or kill the killer when he is unconscious, or at least take his axe with you.Dismal stuff, with the minimum mark allowed, plus a bonus point for being filmed in real woods with real snow (we don't get much snow in my neck of the woods, and I'm easily impressed).

I don't know what was worse - the cheesy elevator/porn/supermarket music that almost made my ears bleed. The acting which was that of some dodgy attempt at a channel 5 soft porn or Horror channel rubbish!! The death scenes, hmm without spoiling the movie (not that thats possible)were at best laughable - the killer kept the messy scenes for outside the cabin yet managed not to spill a drop inside, except on tiles areas for easy cleaning ;o) obviously owned the place lol. I mean twisting a girls head off - not on this planet lol!! not to mention that goddam AWFUL attempt at a twist?!?!?!? manipulated dreams? AYE RITE!! Watch this movie, I dare you.... but don't say you weren't warned!!
