4/10
There's many backwoods horror films out there, and this is definitely.... one of them

Warning: Spoilers
Poor Aurora can't seem to catch a break, her ex won't leave her alone (perhaps because she keeps doing the horizontal mambo with him, but I digress), then she's almost raped by neadrethal jocks, and to top it off the couple that saves the un-couple turn out to be sadistic maniacs (but they do it all out of parental love...awwww). Aside from some good shots and a pretty nice atmosphere, this film fails to distinguish itself from the myriad of other films of the ilk (Ie. Texas Chainsaw massacre, Hills have eyes, etcetera). As such I can only cautiously recommend it to fans of that particular sub-genre. Not that good, but not that bad either. It's just kinda there.

My Grade: C-

DVD Extras: Director's Commentary; a 40 minute making of featurette 'Backstage on the last house in the woods', a short film (L'Armadio), theatrical trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Saw 5", "Punisher: War Zone", "Dance of the Dead", "No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker", "the Substitute", "Dark Floors", "Trackman" "Room 205", "Brotherhood of Blood"
