Horror in the Woods
By Lee Mountford
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
First they found a desecrated body…
… then hell followed.
Four friends spend a weekend hiking in the woods, getting back to nature, never imagining they would end up being hunted.
But they soon stumble into the territory of the sick and twisted Webb family—psychopaths with a taste for human meat. And these monsters are hungry.
Will the group make it out of the woods alive? To do so, they will have to face these cannibals head-on, and unravel the secret behind the twisted family’s very existence.
You will love this brutal, gory, and violent horror story, because it raises the tension on every page and will leave you exhausted and drained.
Honestly it was well written,a strong story and decent characters. Also it was very middle of the road when it comes to these types of stories. I knew Tim was one of the from the Start it was made quite obvious. Overall a good and gory if not predictable.

Not actually that scary, but contains jaw-dropping quantities of gore, all the more startling because the film is clearly being pitched as a knockabout black comedy as well as an exploitation movie. Starts off relatively restrained, but by the climax I was regularly thinking 'I can't believe they got away with that'. Nicely pitched performance from Jeffrey Combs, interesting turns from people who end up having to play either deranged zombies or severed heads in trays. (Slightly distracting soundtrack, mainly because it brazenly rips off the score from Psycho.) Any film which features a main character wrestling with a hostile lower intestine has got something to offer the world; movies like this are the reason we have the term 'splatstick'.

For the summer, the girls go their separate ways, Lenaand Carmen visit relatives, Bridget goes to camp and Tibby stays at home to work. Lena being the first person to have the jeans, then Tibby, Carmen and finally Bridget. But is this movie really just about a pair of jeans? No, infact the whole movie could have been done without the jeans as they literally have no impact on the storyline whatsoever, they're just mentioned on occasion.
It is a good movie, although out of the teens stories, I was only interested in 2 of the stories, Tibby and Carmen. This is probably because their story had more drama, whereas Lena and Bridget were just about getting a guy.
