The young cannibals

This movie has an interesting premise, but it goes nowhere. The acting is poor and the story is hard to understand for as simple as I think it is supposed to be. At the end of the day, not much happens and not much is scary. Its below average cannibal horror.

I always try and write a balanced review based on many things including the budget and genre.

Most low budget horrors these days are awful but this is not that bad compared to most.

For a start it is a bit bizarre and i like bizarre, odd , weird and the creature effects are rather well done for the budget. Add in the excellent although overpoweringly loud old style Claudio Simonetti'esque synth music and it does give somewhat of an atmosphere as well as the spooky location which most low budget horror fails to achieve.

The opening scene was excellent and did give hope that the rest may be as good but although it did not quite meet up to initial expectations it is by my definition an average horror and certainly does not deserve anything less than a 5/10.

No pun intended - sometimes a monster is something literal ... something we project. Of course as the cover and poster already reveal we have quite the physical monster here. But can you really see it? Sorry for another pun I reckon, but I had to.

This is quite low budget and if you like horror movies, you could do worse than watching this one. As the next movie made quite clear - next movie I watched that is. This right here is into the woods and has quite the strong opening ... one that suggests that the movie may be better than the final product even? Well you'll be the judge of that. Good effects overall and maybe one twist too many ... still decent overall.

You won't be overwhelmingly surprised by what's happening, there's no spectacular plot, but that's normal for the genre anyway. The atmosphere is well created in my opinion, mainly thanks to the soundtrack that fits well, pictoresque terrain and quite good actors (tho some characters were a bit annoying). The directing was alright, yet some editing seemed weird, maybe to save some dosh on special effects regarding the monster having dinner. Pretty solid for a film that most probably had a rather small budget.

Not since Soldiers have I seen a british horror I actually enjoyed but this movie is actually watchable even if it doesn't sit you on the edge of your seach.It's a basic monster in the woods vs young campers thing but it was well acted,the monster is well done and is all up an enjoyable film,definatly worth a watch.
