Three young couples set off into the mountains for a weekend of climbing, drinking and lovemaking; little do they know that they are stumbling into the terrain of a fearsome predator – a wild man, horrifically burned as a child many years ago in a fire which engulfed his gypsy camp and left only him alive, roaming the woods in search of his next human prey.

was i watching a slasher… or a nature documentary??

so this was basically a carbon copy of friday the 13th (1980.) a group of teenagers go to a camp while a deformed person goes after them. the problem is that it removes all the good elements of the movie, and just leaves us with dirt. the backstory was relatively similar they changed a couple details but i feel like that scene alone sucked a lot of the runtime. the characters are one dimensional and caricatures, there’s pretty much no suspense except from the last 10 minutes, the plot is nonexistent, the story is generally unoriginal and the music is jarring/overbearing. also i felt like shots of landscapes and insects took up at least half of the screen time!! one thing i did like was the gore and also how the camera kind of goes within the maniacs perspective, as the victim steps back in fear

This movie is 80 minutes long, and about 65 minutes of it is time wasting boredom , splicing in scenes of nature into the story using horrendous editing and awful sound. At least the ending is interesting and gore filled fun to enjoy, if you are still awake by than.
