mrush They sure gave this thing a good write up on the DVD box but sadly it was no surprise at all when this movie turned out to be a major piece of junk.I was pretty drunk when I watched this thing so I may not get all the details exactly right BUT it was bad ,that much I do remember.A bunch of friends set out on their annual trip together.This year they decided to go camping and hiking and dope smoking ,the stuff a bunch of 20 year olds in a horror flick usually do.They get lost and end at an old deserted cabin out in the middle of nowhere.Unknown to them a weirdo lives beneath the cabin in a cellar.It sounds like it might be a cool horror film but it wasn't.A few good scenes early in the films were pretty cool.Rance Howard and Gary Busey played a couple of weirdo local yokels but they were used too little and never seen again after these early scenes.Why Im not sure,cause none of the youngsters in this film were good actors at all.They were a dull and uninspired bunch.Mario Lopez was really really bad.I mean really bad.Bo Hopkins played the local sheriff and he was good as always.But damn was he ever fat.He sure packed on the weight in his last years.This film had very little gore and what there was was clunky and badly done.The weirdo under the floor wasn't developed much at all and therefore didn't never seem that scary.There was some brief side boob shots of a pretty large pair but once again it never developed into that glorious full blown nudity that would have made this mess a whole lot better.I never understood how this guy survived laying underneath the cellar out in the middle of nowhere.As I said the villain was never fleshed out and never really even seen that much so I didn't develop that much dread of him.In fact it was sort of a relief when he would kill one of these bad acting idiots.This was a totally lame and totally forgettable piece of junk that isn't worth your time.

rixrex Having seen dozens upon dozens of slasher and slasher-like films, I have to give this a slightly above average grade in comparison. Sure, there are weak performances, and there is silly dialog, and missing plot points, but there's strong points that make up for the lesser. The pacing is pretty good, and the effects are well-done. The killer does not always go for a knife, and that helps to add to the interest. It's fun to see Gary Busey do an over-the-top performance, and it's brief too which is a plus. It's sad to see Bo Hopkins look like Santa Claus but his acting is as decent as it's always been, on a character actor level. Several other young performers do well here, and some don't, and the first of the group of campers to get killed is the one we want to see out of the film too. The killer is pretty gargantuan and it is all very reminiscent of the 1980 shocker HUMONGOUS. The problem that causes the most detriment is that the killer does not have his story told well enough. There needed to be more of his childhood than what was told, plus there is never a resolution regarding the death of his mother which is expected but ends up unknown, did he get vengeance or not? We want to learn that but don't. Of course it's left open-ended just in case a direct-to-video sequel was possible.

sixcents For the five minutes of screen time Busey gets he takes cinema to new heights. I want to live at that gas station. Slater is pretty good but the Busey scene alone is enough to make the viewer kill themselves since life no longer serves a purpose. The rest of the movie is pretty forgettable.Since I am obliged to fill out ten lines of text for this comment, I leave you with:Busey will molest your life.Period.Seriously.

Martin (ThatsGoodInnit) I bought this Movie and Really enjoyed it, a lot of the straight to video releases are really good, this is one of the better I've bought. i'd definitely buy this if your looking for a cheap horror when your out, or even try renting it! It keeps you on the edge of your seat and when you find out why the person in a crack in the floor is killing you'll find it hard to hate the guy! some special effects DO look alittle poor but this movie is enjoyable! i personally rated this movie 7/10 & believe me thats good for a straight-to-video release, you might even recognise some of the characters, so horror fans buy this movie for the tradition of mad man killer movies! with abit of sex too. just watch for a crack in your floor!
