Ah, the 80s. A time when horror movie makers
weren’t interested in toning down the onscreen sex and violence to make sure
the movie got a PG-13 rating so it could play to the teens hanging out at the
local mall. All they wanted to do was push the envelope and give the real
horror movie fans something to talk about when the lights came up, and director
Lloyd Kaufman did it better than almost all the others. This classic gore-fest
tells the tale of three young women whose camping vacation becomes a nightmare
when an evil elderly lady and her two crazy sons kidnap them for a series of
disturbingly bizarre episodes. The blood looks faker now than it did when the
movie was in theaters 30 some odd years ago, but the violence still has the
power to shock and, if you like this sort of film, entertain.
