Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Well for starters this movie has it all. Blood, gore, tits, and a Hodag, aka R. Sherman, that runs a 40yd in 4.5secs. The movie starts out with a major gore scene and a fantastic actress who plays the barn girl very well. The exceptional costume design has me wondering how they picked the comedic hats that adorn many of the characters. For example: "The Brent's" hat says -- "Eatin' ain't Cheatin'" Brilliant. Where can I buy one? I thought the movie was very open sexually speaking. I particularly loved the scene with the forbidden syrup play. Also the random inserted still scenes of breasts to include the single one. That one was a deal sealer for the movie in my opinion. They even had a hick-hunter gay couple, that was a hidden plot twist. A major goof was how the manure plant was only 4 miles away, yet the Hodag, aka Seattle Seahawks superstar corner-back R. Sherman fifth round pick out of Stan Uni., had a smell overwhelmed at a distance of 5 feet. The most curious thing I discovered while watching this gore-fest was the Becky's OUTRAGEOUS EYEBROWS OF DESTINY. They seemed to grow throughout the movie, getting longer, and longer, and eventually to her lip I believe. Why did she do that? I may never know. Continuing... The way they captured Richard's shear athletic talent was absolutely enjoyable and superb. Cooper's ability to ignore all things around except for beer, brats, and the "State" game (possibly a Stanford game??) is the most dynamic concept for this character. The scene where Paul is rubbing one out and no one cares when he comes back to the table, I thought this was pure genius as I can relate. As for the soundtrack that illustrated the overall flow of the movie I was hoping to get a copy of the OST one day. But for now it helps night shift at work go quickly. Favorite Quote -- "Take a queue from my dick and go long." - The Brent.

Well where do I start, I was hoping for a good horror film but was really disappointed by it.The filming was very strange I could not make out why the film was filmed in this way just weird!! So a group of young ones go to the Backwood wood for some leisure time, and lurking in the woods is a dread locked thing dressed in black called a hog-art who wants to kill everyone it meets. As in most horror flicks one by one they are killed until one girl is left and a boy who at the end turns out to be a nasty piece of work who seems to have killed his friends? Confused yes, though you do see the hog-art kill some of them it was a awful film with wooden acting throughout.Wished I had not bought it what a waste of money and time. It seems a cheap budget movie the way its filmed and the actors are all useless!! My advice watch it for a laugh but do not waste your time.

Here we go again: Six college kids -- nerdy shutterbug, hardcore jock, obnoxious jerk, token black dude, slutty hot babe, and the nice girl -- venture into a remote woodland area in Wisconsin for the weekend. Naturally, the young adults run afoul of a vicious flesh-eating local legend humanoid freak known as the Black Hodag (Seth Chilsen sporting long greasy hair, a huge overcoat, and a cheapo monster mask). Director Donn Kennedy, who also co-wrote the leave no-cliché-unturned script with Brandon Semling, does his best to compensate for the lack of scares and creepy mood by pouring on the blood-spilling gore by the gallon -- the red stuff squirts and spurts everywhere while one victim even gets split in half -- and playing up the amusingly irreverent humor to the ninth degree (the stock array of belligerent redneck stereotypes are quite funny). Moreover, there's a decent smattering of tasty female nudity, a strong rural atmosphere, and the pace moves along at a reasonably quick clip. The acting by the non-star cast is very hit or miss, with the best work done by Angela Lowe as the sweet Becky and Jesse L. Cyr as the geeky Mark. However, Erin Castrapeli's murky cinematography and the largely unsympathetic characters prevent this film from being a complete success. Still, there's one particular plot twist that's truly surprising and the movie's overall eager to please attitude makes it entertaining enough.

....is what this film says in its best Marlon Brando voice. Unfortunately for the film and any unsuspecting viewer, it just never quite makes it into the ring.First off, let's talk about the beastie that is supposed to be the star of the show: the Black Hodag. Originally a mythical creature from around the city of Rhinelander in northern Wisconsin in the US (look it up!), our film version is, shall we say, quite the literary license! This thing stands upright on two combat boot-clad feet with a leather jacket, spiked gloves and an apparently spiked mask. It lays a single egg (forget how many years apart) in order to perpetuate the species.Now, our preternatural badass goes around ripping up a little town, chewing up and spitting out the residents because they had the temerity to honk it off back in the 1800s. With me so far? Enter the college kids, on a trip to a remote locale to get away from it all and deal with the grief of having a friend fall off of a balcony and kill himself. They even invite one of the people they messed with all through his life (and expect all to be forgiven). As the townspeople begin to be shredded and disappear, and a mysterious stench that would knock a buzzard off a honey-wagon begins to spread through the town, the college kids attempt to party they way through their grief. Too bad for them, because the creature doesn't differentiate between townsfolk and visitors. Not only that, but one of them has a plot of their own, adding to the general confusion and mêlée. 'Nuff said about the plot, which is rather weak.The acting is so wooden and stilted in parts, that it's a blessing when there is action without any talking. There is plenty of viscera and gore, mostly filmed through a color filter so the budget doesn't show so badly. It's interesting to note, that most of the actors did nothing before this and nothing after this and those that did wisely chose to change their career path to something more appropriate, like boom operator! There are some innovative dispatches of victims, and even a few comical moments as well as an occasional flash of tit.With a budget and a more believable monster, this film really might have gone somewhere. As it stands, I'm giving it four stars for effort and because there really was some thought that went into it. Don't rent this, but if it happens to come on cable or you can con your drunk buddy into renting it, it's worth a watch.
