I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs.
Revisited it recently on a ff mode.
The director tried his level best to make a genre mash up but failed miserably maybe due to the budget.
The movie also failed to cash in on the atmospheric feel of that a forest set up.
They even failed to make it a poignant story regarding the two kids' harassment by the mother n their death due to starvation n illness.
The wife's lover is attacked n chased by the husband but to my surprise the lover keeps throwing different objects n the husband keeps getting different weapons.
Later the lover dies on a circular saw which ain't even switched on.
A grown up woman while being chased by a killer meets two small kids n she tells them "pls dont kill me, pls dont hurt me". Whoa man!
Shudnt she be worried about the killer n not the helpless kids.
