Reviews:
“It’s a tad on the long side as there was quite a bit of exposition leading up to the events that I don’t think quite paid off. That said, once we got into things what we got was a top notch “crazies in the woods” slasher with a story that, while it took nearly till the end of the film to come together, did so in a nice tidy package. As with Scarred, the kills is what sets this movie apart … Also the film looks amazing.” ScareTissue
