Utterly poor, how is that for a review? Some people gather in the woods to shoot an adventurous reality show, but they soon find themselves being hunted by a group of hideous cannibals. Noteworthy is that the characterisation is boring, because all the characters are stereotypes to such an extent that one has problems deciding whether or not this film is a parody of genre, or just extremely cliché and trying to get away with it.

I can conceive of the target audience of the film being either teenagers or young adults; the film only features stereotyped characters; the soundtrack is pretty limited to teenage pop-rock music; some of the experiences of the characters, prior to the gory part of the film, are simply those teenagers or young adults are likely to experience.

I guess Henry Rollins is the true hero of this film and the only reason why I am not giving this film a 1/10 vote. Amidst poor effects and even poorer acting, Henry Rollins contributes in a great way to this film with his Ramboish cliché character.

Even if you are looking for a film which requires no thought whatsoever, I would not recommend this film.

Last night my friends and I decided to rent a DVD and we found this one interesting. First of all, the setting is by no means original. It is a classic mental health facility presumably situated in the countryside where people are locked up: people whose mere existence the society tries to forget about. Clark Stevens, a soon-graduating student of psychiatry, arrives at Cunningham Hall to finish his practical training, but soon discovers that there is something strange about this peculiar mental health facility.

The plot is not the most original one there is, yet the producers wound up with an OK result. Once the story begins to unfold I pretty much lost interest in the film though, as though the film did not manage to keep the tension throughout the last part of the film. The film is worth seeing if you have nothing better to do a Sunday evening, but do not expect too much entertainment. 5/10

I am a huge fan of the complete series and I was worried that the film would disappoint me. Luckily, it did not.

Clattenburg and his team managed to craft a Trailer Park Boys film which has an excellent story, and indeed the story itself is a somewhat "typical" TPB story - something a fan immediately can recognize and acknowledge. Although I believe that people who have yet not seen the series might not completely follow at all times, the very same people will never find themselves lost while watching the film. I mean, the film introduces the characters rather well to those who make their first acquaintance with our Trailer Park heroes, but the film has much more to offer those who know the characters well.

Do yourself a favour and get the series or the film and enjoy some white trash mockumentary tonight. In conclusion, the film is great. 7/10
