Upon it's release this film was very heavily hyped as the best horror film in recent years. It isn't. However it is far from bad. The story revolves around five teenagers who go to a remote cabin in the woods to spend a week of shooting squirrels, having sex and drinking, but instead end up with a flesh-eating virus.
The plot naturally enough gives plenty of opportunity for gruesome special effects, which are good for the most part, and despite being riddled with implausibilities and some frankly ridiculous scenes, the film remains for the most part both suspenseful and fun. The teenagers are mostly adequate enough, but they are not really particularly likable or interesting enough to care for.
Fans of "splatter" horror films will probably enjoy this.
