Five twenty-somethings go for a weekend camping trip in remote New England, only to discover that the land on which they’re staying was the site of a brutal mass murder years ago…
Reviews:
” …one could think of Meet the Feebles way back in the day in comparison to the outwardly demented style of storytelling that’s on display here. I mean, if you like headless plush dolls oozing with fake blood, and the occasional puppet boobs bouncing freely, then I’d certainly recommend this film for you…” Dread Central
” …the concept of using puppets as your main characters in a movie has been done numerous times before, particularly and surprisingly in the horror genre itself. But it’s a project with definite heart and there are clearly a passionate and talented team working behind the scenes.” Horror Asylum
” …the movie is as derivative as its dialogue is clichéd, its characters are flat and it’s buildup is predictable … and these are all the aspects that make this movie so good, so pretty much unique – because the film’s cast as a whole is made up from puppets, and rather simple and comical ones at that, giving the situations (including sexual situations), the dialogue, the gore a whole new (and rather hilarious) dimension.” Search My Trash
“The directing from Jon Bristol is terrific; his camera placement showed a great ability of making the realistic objects perfectly match up with the puppets […] While this may not appeal to everyone, I personally think it doesn’t get much better than watching puppets getting hunted and killed in the woods. It’s a highly entertaining puppet slasher romp…” The Movie Sleuth
