If you go down in the woods today you better not go alone...
If you go down in the woods today your sure to get a surprise...
A group of Belgian boy scouts go into the French woods and encounter a feral boy and a deranged psycho who likes to build traps....
This movie, subtitled but OK otherwise (note: Belgians swear in English) is a good attempt at spinning a familiar theme: camping trip ruined by deranged psycho.
The spins are: - The psycho has built a cool underground lair and seeded the forest around him with deadly booby traps and detection sensors.
The drawbacks are pretty standard: - The booby traps are laughably over designed and far too accurate and effective to be believable.

The spins are: - The psycho has built a cool underground lair and seeded the forest around him with deadly booby traps and detection sensors.
- The psycho has a 'pet' feral boy to haunt the forest with.
- The movie explores the group dynamics of boys, young men, and one girl, stuck in a terrifying situation, drawing heavily on such classics as Lord of the Flies.
The drawbacks are pretty standard: - The booby traps are laughably over designed and far too accurate and effective to be believable.
- The deranged psycho is indestructible, as per normal 'Jason' types. He is an ex bus factory worker and in all respects human, so this invulnerability is never explained...
- The acting is, by virtue that most of the actors are under 18, sub par. The slightly loonie 'baloo' 2nd in command scout leader is perhaps the best character in the movie and very much like a young Brad Pitt.
