As a jaded fan of 80's horror, I'm shocked that this movie actually lived up to the hype. Most "hidden gems" leave me disappointed when finally seen, but this one actually delivered. The movie is relatively light on gore, but the stalking and killing scenes are surprisingly suspenseful because you actually care about most of these characters. The acting is probably the best your going to get from any slasher movie, and cliched/obnoxious character traits are mostly avoided. The directing and cinematography are also above the standard slasher, and make great use of the forest location and lighting.
I see many of the negative reviews of this movie are based on an old dvd viewing. The fact that I watched a new uncut blu-ray version in 2018, might give me a different perspective.
