The venue for inbred right wing religious families has moved from Texas and West Virginia to California. A group of executives go into the woods to play paintball only to be captured by aforesaid group, with women being used for breeding. I had the feeling of deja vu the whole time I was watching. I enjoyed the fast moving intense opening credits. The film was decent up until the meat of the picture, the confrontation, and at that point it was a yawner.I would consider this to be a generic film with standard eye candy, plot, and acting and on the minus side of the blood and gore. Dead animals don't count.Parental Guide: 2 f-bombs. No sex or nudity. Women are apparently tied up to be raped, but it is off camera.

This movie was absolutely terrifying. I'm sure it'll run through my mind when I drive through some of those back-woods places. The characters were grotesque and I don't think I'll *ever* watch this movie again, but it served its purpose. I don't know whether it was a cold room or getting the bejesus scared out of me, but i shivered quite a bit. Right off hand I'm gonna tell that this movie isn't anything you haven't seen before. It has a typical horror movie set up: a bunch of young people in the woods in the backcountry of some state who run into a bunch of psychos who want to hunt them down and butcher them. If you're thinking " wow, that sounds a lot like the Texas Chain Saw Massacre", well, you'd be thinking right. There's even a gas station scene with a weird creepy hick. But I'm not trying to convey the message that is a Chain saw Massacre rip-off. Texas Chain Saw Massacre was awesome, so I see no problem in people wanting to make more movies like it. But anyways, Backwoods offers nothing new to genre, it's just a plain good ole slice 'em and dice 'em popcorn horror flick. It's not trying to be exceptional, it's just trying be a horror film with enough blood, gore and thrills to suffice any horror fan for the 84 duration time, and in that context, it succeeds.

This was a movie that I was proud to say was made in this day and age. It Was almost as good as Wrong Turn. I couldn't even decide really. Everything was much more with gore because of the technology now it was good because it was so disturbing you could feel the hook in your back just as the victims in the movie did. I honestly love the whole story about the sick and twisted family taking innocent people not just for killing but for food. The son also takes the women and breeds them and gets them pregnant to make the cult bigger. Its gross. This movie sold fast at our local Walmart so I decided to buy it off Amazon and I'm glad I did.

Honestly...I have to say..I really liked this movie. I thought it wrenched up the thrills even better than the first. I mean, jump scares literally occur about every five minutes (but not in an annoying way). I thought I wouldn't really care about them as much because they weren't a family, but all of the actors did a great job at making you feel for them. I mean, most of the time, you didn't know their name until they died, but who cares? It doesn't mean the movie wasn't good. Another good note was that ALL the kills were extremely gory and I have to say that more often than not, I was not expecting them to happen when they did. I also had a terrible time trying to pick who would die next...but that made the movie much more enjoyable.
