I caught this film on 'Zone Horror' the other week. Seeing as it was on that particular channel, I guessed it would be one of those low budget slashers I'd never heard of. I was correct on both counts but was pleasantly surprised at how superior it was to the other films that usually find a home after midnight on an obscure TV channel.
The question that needs to be asked is why do so many American 'teens' take a holiday in an isolated cabin? Don't they go to the cinema? I suppose the answer is the same as why people still live on Elm Street.
Anyway, without going into the synopsis, which can be read elsewhere, I never spotted the twist in whom the 'slasher' was (I assumed it would be the same guy as everyone else did), which made a change. What also made a change was the feisty lead, Tiffany Shepis. Not only does she look good, in and out of her clothes, but she carried an occasional one-liner as well as the crossbow and shotgun. She's certainly not a name I'm familiar with but one worth looking out for. I'm glad I stayed up for this one.
Don't get confused with the BBC series of the same name.
