This cheap little teen slasher victims in the woods movie deserves a pat on the back. There's no-one in it who is anyone, and it is all too apparent that the budget was minimal, and it is very much a generic movie - you know what you are expecting to get, and that is exactly what you do get.
Yet it is attractively shot, it is adequately performed within the limitations of its genre, and it has a number of moments where what you expect to happen is not what happens and, as a result you are genuinely surprised. There is a strong element of suspense running through it which is very effectively maintained, and I absolutely loved the last 10 minutes or so, when it appeared to turn into a completely different movie.
Every now and then a film delivers appreciably more than you expect it to, and this is one of them.
