I really, really, really wanted to love this film.
I'd heard some mixed previews but still held out that it could pull off what it was trying to do.
I love the whole cannibal family after teen's in trouble genre and when it's done well they can be a riot. This just fumbles the ball.
**SOME SMALL SPOILERS**
It has some good, the sequence in the cabin as the kid's hide out watching they're friends being slaughtered, Great! but it never reaches that height again.
I wanted the mountain men to have more personality I wanted them to have characters, instead we get a bunch of ugly guys UGGING at us.
There is a nice level of tension, but once all the victim's are dead you know the hero's will make it through.
It want's to be smarted then the film's it emulates but then fall's into all the same trap's.
It's not terrible it's just not great.
Just another missed opertunity.
