Awesome! Coming from a girl who grew up in and still lives in Jersey, I love any movie that involves the area’s lore. I definitely recommend this film if you are a fan of the campy 70s and 80s flicks that take place in the woods. Acting was a little ridiculous (although it just added to the wonderful cheese of the movie), direction was cool, soundtrack was good… premise was good. Definitely worth the watch.
missed the mark before it even got started another fast make easy letdown.
I saw this movie with some friends. Although that might have effected the outcome with this review, from what I saw this movie definately had my attention. Made in 2006 this movie was made to look old (for some reason I liked that). Nothing was too scary about this movie, creepy, eerie, but not scary. Sort of a basic set up for kills and the effects of each kill were cheesy but at their best. Cheese made this film pretty alright. I can definately say though, that the daughter in this movie, although never says anything, always laughs and smiles in a way that made me uneased and creeped out every time I saw her. I can’t really say much about this movie. Cheesy, made to look old, creepy at times, odd outs, short in time, but worth the watch. I can say I liked this movie, but it’s a movie that has to been seen with huge gaps of time in between.
What a complete waste of time. I picked this movie off of Netflix expecting a creepy, psycho family film. Instead, I got the cliff’s notes on the jersey devil and cheap shots on other horror movies. You can’t say it’s inspired by films like The Shining, when the entire beginning is a play by play of ‘car traveling in the middle of nowhere’. I didn’t get the 70′s or 80′s feel ever. Unless in the 1970′s people decide to travel with small infants to unknown cabins, carry multiple flashlights in cars, have police officers who never bother to go in to suspicious homes or even call in to say where they are, or have thirteen children that show up as only 3 (four if you count the ‘devil’). And who is the random chick that shows up unexpectedly when the sister is searching the house for her daughter? Why is this place remote, but a line of happy, young hikers comes by for some fresh air? There are so many shots, lines of dialogue, and actual plot points that were utterly useless. All in all, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.
