Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

When will American college students ever learn? All they seem to do is constantly drive off to remote towns in the mid-west in groups of four or five and get killed.The five of this batch of kids has obviously never seen a slasher film (as perhaps has the writer, otherwise he might realise how 'borrowed' every element of this movie actually is) as they stop at an out-of-the-way diner where every snaggle-toothed yokel stares at them menacingly. They pay for food, but never eat (I didn't get that bit!) then leave, only to be threatened by another knife-wielding nut-job.So, what do they do? All decide to split up. No sooner does this happen than a psycho in a pig mask hunts them down one by one as they run, screaming through the woods in random directions. Sometimes one of the teenagers manages to fight back and knock out the killer, but they never bother finishing him off - only knocking him to the floor so he gets straight back up to chase them down again. Oh, and they never bother finding or keeping a weapon.What you have here is nothing you haven't seen a hundred times before in the slasher genre. The only way this film would be any good is if you invented a time machine, sent it back to the early seventies and showed it to people then. Therefore, Madison County would be the 'film that started it all' and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre would just be a poor imitation. Sadly, in the real world, it's the other way around.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Heading out to a small town in the country, a group of friends investigating a local legend of a vicious killer try to look past the spurned locals to get to the truth and find a more deadly version than they wanted.This turned out to be quite a decent slasher effort overall, although it does have some pretty big problems. The first one is that the film contains the all-too-familiar-and-irritating trope of having people with knowledge of what's going on purposefully keep it from those that would need such information to stay out of harm's way. Naturally, that would kill off the movie but in a realistic setting, it's ridiculous to continually feature such a proved irritating tactic. As well, for a slasher film this gets going pretty late in the storyline as there's a lot more time than expected dealing with the group and their individual romances that are built up a little too long before we get anywhere interesting. This is compounded by it's criminal lack of gore in it's killings, which are brutal in concept but criminally lacking in execution. That said, there's some fun to be had with it's back-half being loaded with all the stalking being done in a pretty creepy location, a rather imposing killer and his mask that make quite an impression, and a really intriguing mystery explored in the first half that make this one a lot better than it really could've been.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Nudity and drug use.

I'm pleased to say that this movie is good, but not only that it's one you'll wanna see again. The acting is good, the plot works, and the effects aren't over done which makes them more realistic. Not to mention it appears to be all practical effects which I like better than CG. Even better than that, they broke from the recent formula "if your having sex, you die" mumbo jumbo which was a nice change. Any flaws I found really are so minor and don't take away anything from the film in all honesty. Tension was well paced. Not too much, and not too little. Although, one thing sold me on the movie a little bit more than the average viewer I believe. Which is, I've actually eaten in the diner that they frequent in the film. While it might seem silly to others, it does however for me make it hit home a bit more. I look forward to the sequel, that's for sure!!!
