In a woods cabin lives a mother (Tracy Scoggins) , a Quaker-alike , and his little son named Jeremiah . She always warns him on dangers in the exterior world . But she's brutally murdered by rednecks in presence of Jeremiah . Thirty years later , he becomes into a deranged youngster . Three couples (Mario Lopez , Bentley Mitchum , Jason Oliver , Justine Priestley , twin sister of Jason Priestley) set out in a weekend hiking journey across the mountains. They stop at a strange location where encounter a quirky local folk (Gary Busey) and run afoul into the van . But their misfortunes actually start when they do camp at an allegedly abandoned cabin that's not so empty they think ; then terror really begins . The psycho behemoth chases them down and kills scabrously the young people . Meanwhile, a sheriff (Bo Hopkins) is investigating the creepy deaths....
This is a customary splatter plenty of grisly killings , thrills , slashing , gruesome shocks , nauseating chills and resulting to be little boring . It relies heavily on old-fashioned buckets of blood and the plot remains the same of 'Slashers genre' . In the film appears usual actors from 'B films' , such as : Bo Hopkins , Gary Busey and Tracy Scoggins . Special cameo -in flashback- for David Naughton as a paramedic , the starring of the classic 'American werewolf in London' which the hikers comment when they're walking . The motion picture was badly directed by Sean Stanek. Other films about trippers trapped in the forests and chased by killers or rednecks , turn out to be much better , such as : the classic 'Deliverance' , 'Wrong turn' and its sequels and 'Cabin fever' , among others. Rating : bottom of barrel and below average.
