Member Rating:  
Four campers venture into the wilderness for a relaxing hike, unaware that a deranged mountain man is slaughtering whoever crosses his path. While they tell ghost stories around the campfire and romp in the rolling streams, a number of unfortunate nature lovers are dispatched by the maniac; an ornithologist, a fisherman, a pair of newlyweds, a photographer and even a handicapped man struggling through the woods in his wheelchair. When the killer finally encounters the quartet of youths, he murders Craig (James P. Hayden), the only one with experience in the outdoors. The rest are forced to scatter, hopelessly lost in the forest. Peter (Nick McClelland) and Ingrid (Mary Gail Artz) manage to make it to the safety of a nearby town, and the authorities form a posse to seek out the mysterious murderer. But Peter is overcome with guilt by leaving Joanie (Angie Brown) behind, and he returns to the deadly forest to rescue her and get revenge for the ordeal they've all suffered through. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

    Stupid, but very entertaining for gore hounds. Plenty of death scenes to keep you interested and a psycho in the woods! What could be better? It's no Friday the 13th Part 2, but still fun nonetheless. I watched this with a buddy late night under the influence and we laughed quite a bit.

    I completely realize that this movie is bad. If you're with some friends and watch it like I did, then I think you'll have a blast. Everything is funny, the acting, the music, the gore. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a film than I have with this one. If you like to watch campy old horror movies, be sure to check this one out. The main thing about a movie like this, is that you have a good time, nothing more.

    This was an 80s style slasher with really bad acting and uninteresting characters. For being out in the wilderness their were a lot of random people getting killed before the main 4 were attached by killer which was pretty lame looking. Not one of the better 80s slashers but not the worst either. Had a decent amount of action and killing throughout.
