Schoolteacher and class of rural bumpkins get kidnapped by cartoonish bunch of thugs, brought to the forest, try to escape, get caught, repeat, until they finally bond as a group and give the kidnappers a taste of their own medicine.
My, the savage nature of the human animal! Sweet little children acting so viciously! Give me a break.
The movie is corny, the children are annoying, the soundtrack is silly, and all that without taking into account the embarrassingly corny, "Yeah, group!" type moments. The only interesting part was the ending, but considering its ineffective buildup it didn't carry much emotional weight.
If you are intent on seeing a portrayal man-as-beast, go for "Lord of the Rings" instead and let this one gather dust.
