So I sometimes (more often than not) am being too soft and I reckon cut certain movies a bit too much slack. I imagine some may think this is the case here too and I won't argue anyone saying just that. If you have seen as many movies as I have you may understand that there are other movies out there, that are far worse.

Also if you take into account the budget this probably had ... or the money it didn't have ... it is quite decent in its overall effort. Acting is ok too - yes no Oscar worthy performances, but I've seen far worse too. Cinematography for such a low budget movie is ok too. Again always be aware what you are watching and what they had at their disposal to work with ... otherwise don't even bother watching ... because yes predictable and yes a bit too long. And CGI won't really help the case either - no pun intended.

Charlie, a Londoner, has invited a group of friends from America to join him for his bachelor party... in a rather rundown cabin in some remote woodland. In the prologue the first two arrive and are attacked by somebody, or something. More arrive later, after stopping off at a particularly unfriendly pub where an odd man warns them against staying in the cabin... obviously they ignore him. Once they are at the cabin they are joined by others who play a 'scary' prank on them... things are about to get scary for real though as unpleasant things start to happen.

While I didn't expect too much from this I did expect more than I got. It took ideas from better films; the cabin from 'The Evil Dead', the unfriendly pub from 'An American Werewolf in London' and made something that even for the horror genre felt unreal. We are meant to think the group are far from civilisation but anybody who knows England will know that nowhere is that far from a town or village and you don't find rundown cabins in the woods. The story was a mess, sometimes accidentally comical, the acting wasn't great and the special effects in the finale wouldn't have looked out of place in an episode of 'Doctor Who' from the '70s. Overall I'd only suggest watching this if you are a connoisseur of low budget horror looking for a laugh.

Where to start? I'm about 40 minutes in and most of that was wasted. The characters are unlikable, the sound track is shockingly jarring and bad... We don't have cabins in the woods in the UK. You might find a caravan park or chalets, but we don't have Evil Dead style cabins like that here. We don't hate Americans (unless they're rude etc) and our small pubs generally welcome customers as they're all in fear of being shut down. Was this shot in America with a few Brit actors or shot in the UK with people who hate the country? There just isn't anything to like so far APART FROM (No spoilers) a hilarious scene with hammers - though I'm not sure it was supposed to be funny or menacing? The tone is all over the place, the script is terrible and ripping off a lot of much better horror movies. Is is supposed to be a 'so bad it's good' low budget horror is were they just bad at making it? I don't really care anymore, it's not worth the hassle.
