Reviews:
“The saddest thing about it is that at its core is a potentially interesting story. Cops teaming up with criminals and regular folks against a common enemy – sound like Assault on Precinct 13 a bit? … Instead, we get the umpteenth journey through the woods, without any of the class of the original or splatter-y fun of the sequel.” Bloody Disgusting
“While there’s some creativity in the methods of death, the filmmakers decide to overload their gags with CGI gore, a strategy that pisses me off as I see it used more frequently in low-budget horror films … If gore is where you hope to make your name, divert some cash into the practical props line item.” DVD Verdict
” …amid all its man-traps, macho posturing and monetary moralising, this is an overfamiliar exercise in by-numbers filmmaking that always seems merely to be coasting on auto-pilot.” Eye for Film

“It features a cast of actors who have a lot of episodes of The Bill on their CVs and has what appears to be a public park in Belgrade standing in for America. It’s dark. Presumably, they thought the audience would be too drunk to notice. It’s really, really dreadful.” Max Renn
