Kids Go to the Woods … Kids Get Dead

It’s a bit of a cliché…ok, it’s a total cliché … but there’s something so totally engaging about this low budget slasher film from writer/director Michael Hall that it’s easy enough to unplug your critical senses and just enjoy it. As the title explains, it’s the story of a bunch of ‘kids’ – played by actors who look like they are in their mid-to-late 20s – who spend a weekend in a remote cabin (that looks more like a suburban house than a cabin). They meet a creepy old guy who warns them of strange things happening in the woods, and it isn’t long before the strange things start happening to them. The film is played like it’s a late night monster movie on TV, complete with a buxom hostess named Candy Adams (Carly Goodspeed), which only adds to the weird atmosphere.
