amgee-89551 Really bad movie. The plot and the characters was stupid and poorly written. The effects was really bad init. Don't watch it.

Michael Ledo Without a doubt this is the best film made about the New Jersey Devil. And just for the record I have seen others and reviewed them on Amazon. Richard (Stephen Moyer) decides to drag his family camping in the Pinelands where his dad would take him camping as a child. Richard plans to scatter his dad's ashes on the trip. His family is not eager about the whole thing.As the film progresses, we discover, as does his family, that Richard has serious issues. Unfortunately by the time the family realizes what is happening, they are located deep in "Devil" territory.I liked the scare factor in this film. The story flashback at the campfire was well done. Stephen Moyer played a convincing role as a man becoming....you'll find out. Allie MacDonald plays the moody 17 year old daughter. 9 stars might seem overrated for a film that has a high amount of predictability. In spite of that, the acting, direction, and script were done well, something I would like to see more of in "B" horror films.Parental Guide: F-bombs, no sex or nudity.

GL84 Hoping to reconnect together, an estranged family on a camping trip in the Pine Barrens learn the local legend involving the Jersey Devil is real when the voracious creature appears and forces the family to deal with it to escape the woods.This here is one of the more frustrating and problematic creature features around as there was a chance to do something special here. The setting here is a dark, creepy forest ripe with really terrifying layouts that are perfect for unleashing a voracious creature, it's quite a decent-looking creature with quite a chilling back-story to begin with, and there's some fun to be had when it gets the family lost in the back-part of the woods along the later half, but instead this one tends to involve a slew of increasingly bizarre and outright unnecessary subplots that make this one seem to go on forever. Adding in the usual family drama is more than enough and never really adds much new material to be influenced by this tactic, which feels like a continuation of the clichés anyway, yet the fact that there's so much extra happening going on here that the beginning to this one is so hard to get into it seems to go on forever dealing with the family issues, teen angst, the dead dog and the quest for closure about his father just makes for a tough time overall. All these subplots simply cause the actual attacks to get pushed back so much that the fun attacks in that second half come so late their inclusion is almost an afterthought and a case for being too little, too late to save this one from the potential it could've had about chasing down the revelers in the forest and them getting caught in the middle the way this starts off as, but even without this plot the beast itself and the action in the final half when he's mad and delirious do make this one somewhat interesting and save it somewhat.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and children-in-jeopardy.

LeonLouisRicci A combination of Monster/Horror/Suspense this is a satisfying and mysterious puzzle that is somewhat restrained in the Horror elements (exposed entrails aside). It is a more than competent looking Movie that has a truly creepy, could be real or hallucinatory Monster, one of Mythology's Second Stringers, The Jersey Devil.Well Acted with a pulse pounding ending where all, or most, is revealed. This Story of a Family Camping Trip was destined for samo-samo status but is elevated with enough Style and tension making it rise above a lot of DTV and other Misfires of its ilk.The prickly pace and developing despair along with a run for your life momentum makes the Movie a welcome Entry into the Wilderness of Low-Budget, Teen-Oriented Scream-a-Thons. It is much better and smarter than those Cheap Thrill throwaways.
