As I sat down here in the beginning of 2023 to watch this 2016 horror movie, I must admit that with such a title, then I figured it was a spoof or a parody on the archetypical trope of young adults engaging in lewd behavior in the wilderness in almost all horror movies out there.
Writer and director Shawn Burkett actually managed to put together a fair enough script for the movie. Sure, it was generic and bordering on being a bit too archetypical, but there was still something enjoyable to the storyline. And no, it wasn't all the pointless nudity and lewd scenes, of which there was a lot of in the movie.
What I liked about the movie was the simplicity of the storyline. I mean, you have a group of young adults camping out in the middle of nowhere in the forest and they are being preyed upon by a dangerous unknown creature. Yup, it was that simplistic. But writer and director Shawn Burkett went and destroyed a perfectly adequate concept by an excessive amount of nudity and lewd scenes. I am not a prude, but come on, sometimes less is more, you know?
The acting performances in the movie were fairly okay. Sure, you're not in for any grand thespian performances here, and you know that just by looking at the movie's title. But I think for a movie such as this, then the acting performances were actually quite okay. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list here.
With this movie being a creature feature, then of course you have some kind of deadly creature stalking about. And here you have some guy in an inarticulate alien-like creature suit. It was campy and corny, sure, but the concept idea was good enough. The creature design was okay in concept, but the creature itself was just painstakingly obviously a guy in a rubber suit, especially since the face of the creature was inarticulate and frozen in place.
Now, I would have rated this movie a five out of ten stars, but the pointless nudity and excessive lewd scenes just sleazed it unnecessarily up, and thus I am forced to lower my rating of this movie to a mere four out of ten stars.
