Woodyanders A bunch of folks on a rafting expedition set up camp in an old abandoned ghost town. However, said town isn't as deserted as they initially expected and pretty soon people are getting picked off by a phantom killer. Sound good? Well, alas it just ain't. Flatly directed by Bryon Quisenberry (who also wrote the talky and uneventful script), with mild gore, no nudity, tame offscreen kills, a sluggish pace, drab and dumb characters who stupidly venture off on their own so they can be easily dispatched by the killer (serves 'em right for being so idiotic!), a meandering story, a frustratingly muddled conclusion, and a severe paucity of both tension and spooky atmosphere (things perk up a bit and get fairly creepy in the last third, but by then it's far too little much too late), this extremely stiff and static stinker proves to be quite a painfully languid and laborious chore to endure. Worse yet, veteran thespians Hank Worden, Gregg Palmer, and Alvy Moore are all wasted in lousy nothing roles. In addition, extra points need to be detracted due to the insufferable antics of irritating comic relief bozo Lou (played with an appalling lack of charm by Joe Allaine). Even the always welcome presence of the ever-awesome Woody Strode as a mysterious sailor fails to alleviate the numbing tedium. Joseph Conlan's monotonous and grossly inappropriate score sounds like it belongs in a generic 70's cop show. Richard Pepin's decent cinematography manages to wring a modicum of gloom-doom mood from the cool rundown location. A total snorefest.

bfan83 *POSSIBLE SPOILERS!* Don't get me wrong, I love bad movies. But this was just inexcusable. The entire film consists of long, continuous and pointless padding, a very undeveloped plot and horrendous acting by some of the most annoying characters to ever grace a slasher flick.The plot concerns a group of friends on a rafting trip down the Rio Grande River in West Texas. Inexplicably, they come across a deserted, old ghost town. During the night, a few of the friends are murdered by an unseen killer that we never get to see, even at the film's conclusion. The rest of the film consists of the remaining survivors yelling and bickering at each other, and trying to stay alive. Yet, they still wander off by themselves and are murdered by the unseen killer. The ending offers no resolution to who is doing the killing and why and half the cast survives which really irritated me.If you are a die-hard slasher fan, than yes seek this rare and (thankfully) forgotten slasher flick. For curiosity seekers, however, please avoid like the plague!

steven_bash This Movie was outright awful. Everything about it sucked dick. Whether it was the acting, the lighting, the killings, the dialogue, etc. Everything about it was horrible. I thought Wes Craven's Scream was a stroke of Genius, but Byron Quisenberry should be buried alive without a coffin for making such crap. I really feel sorry for anyone who saw this movie, for it is really a hurtful sight to watch.The movie is about a group of hikers who stop into this ghost town where a killer looms. Throughout the movie, a variety of deaths take place, deaths that you can't even make out well because of poor lighting. The movie does have the viewer guessing on who is actually the killer and in the end, it's still somewhat vague on everything that went on. When it's all said and done, the movie also had me guessing on how I could even handle this entire crapfest of a movie. Probably the worst characteristic of the movie is the lighting. You can barely make out what's going on throughout the film. Especially when someone is killed, you can barely tell what's going on. This makes the movie bad in itself right here but it gets much worse as it goes along. The killer is never seen when he kills the characters one by one and trust me, at the end of the film, you'll be scratching your head. I know I did.

xxbadboyxx021 I am sorry but I have seen tons and I mean tons of bad movies before. You name it and I have probably seen it but this movie was pain old terrible. There are so many characters and they look actually the same you cant tell who is who and there is little diagolue I doubt they even had a scirpt. There is no plot. People are stuck on an island as people die. I love 80's slasher movies but I can't get over how bad this movie was. They really don't give any information on the killer and they don't really show any death scenes. I have watched this film 3 times because I could not get the point. I tryed to understand it but I just couldn't. I recommend you try to get this film so you know what I am talking about. After you see this movie email me and tell me what you think. Ifyou can sit through this whole movie strait without falling asleep I have tons of respect for you. 0* out of ****
