Plot Synopsis

Cult horror director William Fruet (Death Weekend, Spasms) teams with My Bloody Valentine screenwriter John Bearid for this backwoods shocker about a group of backpackers who do battle with a psychotic hillbilly. Four young university students are out camping in the woods when they witness an enraged Henry Chatwell (Henry Silva) stalking, torturing, and killing his wife's lover. With no means of calling the local sheriff, the students retreat back to their campsite. There, Henry takes them captive and declares they all must die. Realizing that old Henry has finally gone too far, two locals attempt to release the students, who are promptly recaptured by their crazed abductor. Later, desperate student Roger (Nicholas Campbell) acquires an axe and attempts to save his friends from certain death. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Editorial Reviews:

This Tennessee-set backwoods horror film (actually filmed in Canada) is essentially Friday the 13th meets Deliverance -- but it still manages to be fairly entertaining, as long as leering lead baddie Henry Silva is onscreen. Silva plays an ultra-violent hillbilly maniac who employs a wide assortment of grisly methods to terrorize, maim, and kill any city folk unfortunate enough to trespass onto his turf. One such victim is stumbled upon by a group of young backpackers, who soon find themselves on the receiving end of the killer's backwoods bloodlust and fall prey to some fairly inventive booby-traps. Silva's wonderfully savage performance lends this cheap production an edge it desperately needs. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
