could be worst
Sharon Baker, Ingrid Weinhard and Maria Marcolini are three friends who go camping in Harmony Lake National Park. It's the off season. Park attendant Jack Webster leads the girls to the lake. Mountain man Vern is back looking for a wife. He kidnaps the girls and kills Jack. Meanwhile, Vern's father Joe Evans (Dan Haggerty) is guiding rich arrogant hunter Brad Allen (Jan-Michael Vincent).
This is pretty straight forward exploitation fare. It's not that bad as far as this genre goes. The girls are surprisingly good actors. I just never get the sense that these girls would go hardcore camping. Turning into Rambo is very campy. The whole thing plays out in an unlikely fashion. Ingrid is doing cartwheels while avoiding gunfire and then spears Vern in a caveman move. At least, she seems athletic enough but the choreography is poor. The side of the story with Haggerty and Vincent seems disconnected from the rest of the movie. Unless the audience knows that Joe Evans is Vern's father, they may as well be two random guys. It does allow one funny scene where Sharon goes topless trying to wave down their helicopter where Ingrid has a funny line.
