Several campers and a group of escaped convicts both run afoul of a vicious hillbilly cannibal mutant (Borislav Iliev in funky grotesque make-up) in the deep West Virginia backwoods.
Director Declan O'Brien relates the enjoyably dopey story at a brisk pace, makes nice use of the beautiful sylvan locations, delivers oodles of savage violence and outrageously in-your-face graphic gore, and even sprinkles in some tasty gratuitous female nudity for trashy good measure. Moreover, it's decently acted by the competent cast: Tom Frederic as eager prison guard Nate, Janet Montgomery as the spunky Alex, Tamer Hassan as the ruthless Chavez, Gil Kolirin as the brutish Floyd, Jake Curran as wormy car thief Crawford, Christian Contreras as undercover cop Willy, and Charles Venn as the easygoing Walter. However, this film does suffer from some painfully cruddy CGI effects, terrible tin-eared dialogue, a by-the-numbers predictable narrative, and a crippling dearth of tension. That said, this flick overall still passes muster as a fair amount of perfectly nasty'n'gruesome entertainment.
