Sitting down to watch this movie, I don't know why I expected this recent addition to the flock of bad horror movies would be any better. I shouldn't have. Like so many movies of today, the IDEA behind this movie was excellent: six people getting stranded in the woods (notice how in so many horror movies, it's an equal ratio of guys to girls?) by psychotic, mutated, cannibal hillbillies who chase them while they attempt to get back to civilization.

Eliza Dushku did a good job (though I may be biased), but other than that, I actually found myself cheering for the hillbillies to win.

Ahh.. the hillbillies. Growing up in South Texas must have desensitized me to them or something, but none of them frightened me in the slightest. I've had scarier hillbillies for NEIGHBORS. The little one reminded me of a Capuchin monkey- I was waiting for him to being throwing feces or something at them.

And WHAT about that guy going back to rescue Eliza in the cabin? I know that it was the heroic and noble thing to do, but I cannot see any real life situation in which a stranger someone had just met would risk death when they had escaped by going back to "Evil Headquarters."

All in all, it was yet another movie to add to the "Gross Out Factor" list: a good movie to watch for some gore and some laughs, but nothing with any real substance.
