Wow!!! Director Jones makes a serious attempt here for the worst-movie-I-saw-this-year.

Not exciting, not scary, no gore, amateurish down to the bottom.

The famous beautiful nature shots? The film takes place in a forest that's it!!

The only absurd ones are the completely ridiculous ghosts (just actors with echo in their voices).

Boring stuff.

In the meantime, the third Don Jones film I have watched recently and the least. It starts off nicely with a classic Friday the 13th vibe. But after the introduction things start to go in many directions. The idea of Gary Kent as cannibal is not uninteresting but poorly developed. The stuff with the ghosts has been added and takes the pace out of the film. The score was composed specifically for the film but fails to provide any kind of cohesion (atmosphere) to what is happening on screen. Also goes too much in all directions. Fortunately, it is still possible to laugh at what happens.
