If you are a horror buff, you will have seen a film like this before: a mixed group head off to the woods, ignore warnings from the locals, encounter ghoul...You know the rest. How many of them are killed? Is there a twist in the ending? Are there other bad guys? It matters not. This film is about murder. And murder. And murder. There is no plot as such, but reasonably good mild special effects. The soundtrack is, um, eclectic.

Having said all that, and yes, it is rubbish, it was made on a budget of $500, largely by one family, and frankly it is no worse than many similar films with several hundred times the bankroll. The major criticism to be made of it is that it is too slow, far too slow in places, but in comparison with the aforementioned far more expensive efforts, the people who put it together have nothing of which to be ashamed.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.
