mauchline2008 I read your other reviews and bought this film with a little trepidation. The film concerns 8 teens being stalked and killed by a creature because the have opened a horror house on some sacred ground (Ithink the plot really does not make that clear). The killing are a little lack lustre and could have used a little bit more atmosphere but all in all it gets the job done. For those who care there is no nudity in this film at all (Male or Female)and the gore is very minimal so if either of these is your thing Avoid. If like me you are just looking for a fun/creepy way to pass 90 mins then you could do a lot worse. The ending is a little strange though and I felt it let the film down a little.

galensaysyes Think the title is "Darkwalker" (one word), and was "Hobbs Grove: the Movie." It's not worth seeing under any title. Non-acting actors (but the male romantic lead and the woman who plays one of the owners aren't bad); silly demon suit (you can see the head of the guy inside through his mask); boring, nitwit script (including a training speech for the employees at the park); no sense to it anywhere (why is the demon killing people, and why only people who work at the park?); funny commentary by the producer and the director, as if they had made "The Godfather" ("we were so lucky to get this cast"; "this is a beautiful-looking film").Only reason for this review is to plug Hobbs Grove, the setting of the movie, which has the best haunted house (and the best haunted wood) I've ever been to, and I've been to a few. It looks tacky in the film, as those things always do, but seen in person it's scary and imaginative and atmospheric. Skip "HG: the Movie," but if you're in California around Halloween, check out "HG: the Cool Spook House."

FrightMeter I enjoyed this film. For some reason, it has a unique appeal and style that I haven't seen in quite some time in a direct-to-video slasher film. In all honesty, the direct-to-video horror flicks are my favorites because they can set their own rules and do not need to be bogged down with high budgets and the hottest young teenage casts. They also accomplish something else; they stay true to their roots in 80's slasher flicks where plot wasn't as important as the kill scenes. With all that said, I loved the setting of this film. I have always thought about writing a horror film where a killer stalks a haunted house attraction, but I guess I was beat to it. There is really nothing original here, yet that isn't the point of this kind of film.To sum it up, an ancient evil demon is arisen on the land where a haunted house attraction called Hobb's Grove is set to open. Soon, the workers begin falling prey to this ruthless killer. The death scenes are above average, and we get an interesting killer. However, what made this film for me was the setting. We are treated to all sorts of visually disturbing images that make up the haunted attraction. I do have a few complaints though. First, the title of the film. Where did it come from?? Not once in the entire film is the killer referred to as Dark Walker and nobody seems to know that the legend even exists. Additionally, we really don't get a good understanding at all of Dark Walker's history--just that he killed an old guy and his family at the beginning of the film. The ending made no sense either as I found it totally unbelievable that the killer would just let the final girl walk away. Still, I found it entertaining enough and I hope that its rental success is enough to get a sequel or two made. True 80's slasher fans should enjoy. 6.5 out of 10

Shady666 I'm sure the budget was very low, but this was a waste of film. The photography is awful and the actors are worse. The story is very weak and it lacks rhythm. The sex scenes which are necessary in a "good" low budget horror movie are completely missing. It could have been much MUCH better made...
