My main genre of movie is horror, so I have seen my share of these 'slasher in the woods with a deranged family' type of movies. These kind of movies are made a lot but usually they are point less and boring, or at least to me it needs more than just a crazy person giggling and running around with a cleaver. This movie is definitely not the worst but it could've been a lot better.
The basic formula for a slasher movie is apparent from the start. The main character (mostly female) has (either physical or) mental obsticles to overcome and as the plot progresses, she deals with those obsticles. The bad guys have actually no reason to do what they do, but they are just crazy so that is supposed to explain everything and justify anything. The main character has many opportunities to escape and kill the bad guys but won't. And in the end we find out that even though the bad guys seem to have died, there's something that will continue the story onward, a fake death etc. Not a whole lot of refreshing story telling going on there.
I'd say that there a just few things that make this an okay film, and one of them is Amy. She is a nice add to the family of aholes that are the most bland bad guys ever. Amy's story is interesting and I would've like to know more of her. Because of Amy I give this a 5 instead of 4. Also, I do like the whole angle of the females getting impregnated by the boyfriend, for once the guy is the epar victim, even though the main character is depar once.
