3/10
An obscure and disappointing backwoods slasher in the vein of similarly lame 80s flicks like "The Prey", "Just Before Dawn" or "Humongous". Starts out really great with a top notch opening kill, a decent character introduction and an entertaining campfire-tale-scene, but sadly after the first 20-25 minutes it goes completey downhill with loads of horribly boring and tedious scenes until it finally reaches a promising but eventually completely stupid ending. Acting, soundtrack and dialogue are mediocre, the gore is underwhelming and the killer is simply laughable.
Forgettable 80s dreck.

I haven't watched it in years, but HBO used to show this one a lot in the mid 80's. I remember it being okay. THE PREY was better than I thought it was going to be, but still wasn't anything special. HUMONGOUS was horrendous. Saw it on HBO in the 80's and the print was really nice and clear, but didn't make it any better.
