They sure gave this thing a good write up on the DVD box but sadly it was no surprise at all when this movie turned out to be a major piece of junk.I was pretty drunk when I watched this thing so I may not get all the details exactly right BUT it was bad ,that much I do remember.
A bunch of friends set out on their annual trip together.This year they decided to go camping and hiking and dope smoking ,the stuff a bunch of 20 year olds in a horror flick usually do.They get lost and end at an old deserted cabin out in the middle of nowhere.Unknown to them a weirdo lives beneath the cabin in a cellar.
It sounds like it might be a cool horror film but it wasn't.A few good scenes early in the films were pretty cool.Rance Howard and Gary Busey played a couple of weirdo local yokels but they were used too little and never seen again after these early scenes.Why Im not sure,cause none of the youngsters in this film were good actors at all.They were a dull and uninspired bunch.Mario Lopez was really really bad.I mean really bad.
Bo Hopkins played the local sheriff and he was good as always.But damn was he ever fat.He sure packed on the weight in his last years.
This film had very little gore and what there was was clunky and badly done.The weirdo under the floor wasn't developed much at all and therefore didn't never seem that scary.There was some brief side boob shots of a pretty large pair but once again it never developed into that glorious full blown nudity that would have made this mess a whole lot better.
I never understood how this guy survived laying underneath the cellar out in the middle of nowhere.As I said the villain was never fleshed out and never really even seen that much so I didn't develop that much dread of him.
In fact it was sort of a relief when he would kill one of these bad acting idiots.This was a totally lame and totally forgettable piece of junk that isn't worth your time.

This one was bad, but I've seen worse pictures.
I only bought this one because Gary Busey was listed, and figured...Even if he only has a small part, it might be interesting. But I was wrong..maybe Gary did it for a friend or the paycheck alone...either way..it seems like he doesn't take this role seriously..when this is said I've seen way worse pictures...This one might have been better if they have had a higher budget to work with. Mostly I don't judge movies even if they seem cheaply done, you'd notice that if you saw my collection of DVD's. But in this case..well.
I'm glad I didn't pay more than 2GBP for this one. I was bored before I began to watch, but my boredom increased me (almost to death;-)during the movie.
The only thing/reason why i'm giving this one 3stars is because of the beginning and the end of the movie..it starts okay...and ends in a way that I didn't expect.You do wonder how it's going to end, and look at every angle...but that's it.
Don't think it was the actors fault,,they didn't have that much.. at all to work with.

Apparenlty this is suppose to be a horror/triller movie. Laughed so hard, one of the worst movies I have seen in a while. Acting is awful. Filming is terrible. Special effects, if that is what they are suppose to be, are as good as any you can create at home yourself. Used a 'known' name to attract people. There are actually other recognizable people in this movie, I am not sure why they agreed to be in this. The most money was spent on the cover/poster for this movie. I felt tricked into renting it, the DVD case made it appear to not be as bad as it was, I guess the saying of 'Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover' applies here.Worth watching, just so you can see how bad it really is.

This is a very standard horror flick, filled with laughable acting and horrible writing. I rented it knowing what to expect and I got exactly what I wanted. The story is very thin and the dialogue is kinda whacked but I really enjoyed it.
The story goes something like this:
33 years ago, a widow and her young son are living in a small cabin somewhere in B.F.E. Well, a couple of hillbillies show up, rape and kill the mother, and beat the tar out of the kid. Thinking they're both dead, the two hicks go on about their business. Somehow, or another the kid doesn't die. He has lived in the basement of the cabin, picking off anyone who stumbles across his nest.
A group of twenty-something college kids (one of them being Mario Lopez from "Saved by the Bell") decide to take a little camping trip.
You can pretty much guess what happens from then on.
I really dig this stuff. I really enjoy campy dialog, and bad film-making, for some reason. This one has all the goods, though. A highlight being Gary Busey. He shows up for a deranged cameo and disspears, but his lines are hilarious.

This movie is simply a piece of crap. If you feel you need to waste two hours of your life this is the best way to do so. The acting is pathetic, the story is confusing and the set is cheap. It looks like it was shot by some poorly trained monkeys from the zoo. Don't see this film.
Is where this desperate 'slasher' should fall into. I'd give one star for this ludicrous movie and another for the over-the top, mad cap actor Gary Busey. Incidentally and to his credit, he was in a movie far superior to this (and along the same lines) called 'Hider in the house'.

In a small cabin, a scarred, long-haired psycho (who witnessed his mom getting doggy-style gang-raped and killed as a kid) lurks underneath the floorboards and emerges to cut up dumb college kid hikers. This is like a crude teen comedy mixed with a slasher film, complete with embarrassingly bad dialogue provided by the director. Tracy Scoggins gets good billing for a rather degrading cameo. Other name star cameos include Rance Howard as a one-armed white-trash gas station attendant, Bo Hopkins as (what else?) a sheriff who spends a lot of time driving and walking around in the woods, and Gary Busey as a strange guy who chops up chickens. It's not good, but it's at least a little different than the usual direct-to-video tripe.
The worst horror(?) movie ever...AWFUL,AWFUL,AWFUL,AWFUL,AWFUL...I lost 2 hours of my life watching this unbelievably bad movie...A 5 year old kid could have directed it better,wrote it better,acted better...Avoid it at all costs...

For the five minutes of screen time Busey gets he takes cinema to new heights. I want to live at that gas station. Slater is pretty good but the Busey scene alone is enough to make the viewer kill themselves since life no longer serves a purpose. The rest of the movie is pretty forgettable.
Since I am obliged to fill out ten lines of text for this comment, I leave you with:
Busey will molest your life.
Period.
Seriously.

i bought the film kinda by accident, i had no idea what it would be like or anything i just read the box and thought it looked and sounded like the cheesey 80s horror flicks like The Burning and The Mutilator which i found really suprisingly enjoyable, plus i thought it was £4 (i misread the label it wasn't it was £9 but not wanting to look totally foolish i got it anyhow and started looking forward to it on the long ride home. the film was quite reasonable, it reminded me a lot of camp Blood which i loved for the sheer cheesey value of it, this movie seemd like it was a lot better because it had much bigger names attached, but the effects were a lot poorer than camp blood, the story was kinda fun tho and Mario Lopez kicks ass!!!! the plot involves Jerimiah a small child who watches his mum get raped and then killed skip forward 33yrs and he is living in the basement and he starts killing people who disturb him. simple yet quite fun and very cheesey with a decent cast. anyone who likes cheesey flms should definetly see it

the mouse.that's right,i said mouse.there's a mouse in the movie,and even though it has the briefest of cameos,it was the best actor in the(alleged)movie.for some reason,i watched this right to the bitter end. i don't think anyone involved in the movie knew there were cameras involved.you can't fake acting this bad.it's a real talent.nor can you fake making a movie this horrible.and this is the end result. it wasn't really a movie.more like a collection of scenes strung(loosely)together.i'm not sure how much this thing cost to make,but i feel confident in saying i have more than that underneath my cushions.brutal,but still nowhere near as bad as Dracula 3000.a very reluctant 1* for the mouse's performance.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen, however Gary Busey and Mario Lopez both give the best performances of their lives. If you've ever wanted to hear A.C. Slater talking about a man with a missing nose 69'in a chick or see Mr. Gary Busey make a mad dash to the bathroom trying to contain his diarrhea after giving the craziest dialog you'll ever hear, then this is the film for you. You can talk all day about Citizen Kane if you like. For my money, this film deserves it's rightful place at the top of the heap. Plotwise it's absolutely terrible, the story is ridiculous and it doesn't have much of an ending but the dialog is amazing. The superstar cast is really what makes this the best film ever made.

This was by far one of the worst "horror" flicks I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. Despite the fact it appeared as if it were made on a $50 budget, the acting was just as bad. Mario "AC Slater" Lopez has ruined any last hope of any future acting carer by appearing in this thing. And Gary Busey shows his desperation to remain in the film business by shamelessly appearing as a "chicken-killing" mad-man. The movie stars a group of spoiled rich tree-hugging college kids who will never be "coming to a theater near you" again. Trust me, this movie is not worth the tape-dvd it is recorded on.

A couple weeks ago, I decided to go into Blockbuster video in search for a cheap movie to watch. I came along this movie and at first the cover was pretty cool and it had Gary Busey in it. What can go wrong. I was expecting Gary Busey to appear in the film for longer than one minute but that didn't happen. This is the worst movie I've ever seen and every copy should be burned. If I could give a zero for this movie I would but the lowest you can go is 1. Lifeforce is better than this piece of crap and Lifeforce is pretty bad too. Avoid it at all costs.

In a woods cabin lives a mother (Tracy Scoggins) , a Quaker-alike , and his little son named Jeremiah . She always warns him on dangers in the exterior world . But she's brutally murdered by rednecks in presence of Jeremiah . Thirty years later , he becomes into a deranged youngster . Three couples (Mario Lopez , Bentley Mitchum , Jason Oliver , Justine Priestley , twin sister of Jason Priestley) set out in a weekend hiking journey across the mountains. They stop at a strange location where encounter a quirky local folk (Gary Busey) and run afoul into the van . But their misfortunes actually start when they do camp at an allegedly abandoned cabin that's not so empty they think ; then terror really begins . The psycho behemoth chases them down and kills scabrously the young people . Meanwhile, a sheriff (Bo Hopkins) is investigating the creepy deaths....
This is a customary splatter plenty of grisly killings , thrills , slashing , gruesome shocks , nauseating chills and resulting to be little boring . It relies heavily on old-fashioned buckets of blood and the plot remains the same of 'Slashers genre' . In the film appears usual actors from 'B films' , such as : Bo Hopkins , Gary Busey and Tracy Scoggins . Special cameo -in flashback- for David Naughton as a paramedic , the starring of the classic 'American werewolf in London' which the hikers comment when they're walking . The motion picture was badly directed by Sean Stanek. Other films about trippers trapped in the forests and chased by killers or rednecks , turn out to be much better , such as : the classic 'Deliverance' , 'Wrong turn' and its sequels and 'Cabin fever' , among others. Rating : bottom of barrel and below average.

This one of a kind, brilliant horror movie starring Mario Lopez, Tracy Scoggins and Gary Busey will scare the bejesus out of you. A group of hikers happens upon a seemingly deserted cabin out in woods. Little do they know the unthinkable awaits them. A deranged and isolated man, Jeremiah, who's last contact with civilization came 33 years ago, sees them, stalks them, and...
And there's the greatest scene with Gary Busey in which he plays a country bumpkin who's a few cans short of a twelver. Gives new meaning to the term "chickenhead." Think Hannibal Lecter, if you know what I'm saying.
Don't wait to see this orgasmically exciting and wonderfully horrific movie! That is, if you dare.

This is the worst writing I have ever seen in a movie. Watching it leads one to wonder if it is meant to be a spoof. But, it isn't. The acting is like a bunch of 8-year-olds who have no sense of reality. Roughly two minutes of this movie was frightening. If you like bad movies, this is for you. It is absolutely hilarious because it's so bad. But, I would not recommend spending the hour and a half on it. Gary Busey is in it for roughly five minutes. Strange and twisted, he seems to be the comic relief, but I can't tell.
There is also no resolution at the end. It ends abruptly and frustratingly does not answer some of the key questions. Most of the dialog gives background information of all the different characters which is rather pointless and shallow.
A few gratuitous bloody scenes and sex scenes, but again they're hardly enough to be considered interesting and worthwhile.
