Nice time killer. Has some pretty creative kills, the characters aren't too hard to like. The Ranger is a pretty fly killer, if I say so myself. The acting of both the punks and The Ranger is cheesy, but overall passable. It's Just an enjoyable, but forgettable time waster.
This film is just over an hour so it won't waste too much of your time. It was just okay for me. Watched this while on a camping trip. The ranger himself was the best part. 6/10 for me.
Boring for a "slasher" movie. A pretty slow start and middle. In my opinion how people are killed make for the most entertainment, and these are just boring.
Frightfest opening night film, and very watchable as a VoD release when you get a chance.
Nothing new in the concept, slasher in the woods picking off a group of teens, but the execution (ha ha!) was good and there were a couple of aspects which made this a fun genre offering.
First, the punk setting and music. OK green room did it first, but this was much more fun and retro.
Second, the relationship between slasher and final girl offered an engaging spin on procedings.
Overall, if you are a genre fan then this should be on your watch list.

Ok, these 'Cabin In the Woods' type films are sadly so formulaic. There's always the bunch of kids stopping off at the petrol station, they meet someone local, are overly obnoxious for no other reason other than they can be only to then be hunted by said local they were obnoxious to previously.
Sadly this never gets beyond the mundane.
If you like the bog standard 'Cabin in the woods' type slasher, this one is for you.
