Absolute Dud

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2000)

I don't know about you, but after an hour of this inane movie, I was barracking for the psycho. There hasn't been a decent horror for some time now, so I walked into the cinema primed for a good scare.

Nada. As the movie goes on, you keep wondering when something scary is going to happen. Nothing does. Apparently there's a nut somewhere out in the woods. Could be a witch, maybe it's just a garden variety serial killer. Whoever they are they must get lonely waiting for people to come by the forest so they can employ their unbelievably subtle brand of terror.

Perhaps the biggest flaw is that the movie doesn't make you actually care about the characters. Their constant bickering may have been intended to be some sort of descent into chaos, but in fact it was just annoying.

Enough said? It's a dud. Save your dough.
