It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It angers me that this movie is out there in a lot of stores, where many people can make the same mistake I did and rent the damn thing. To its credit, it shows promise from the 20- to the 45-minute mark, but then just falls into an incoherent mess. I've read that this was written between takes, which would explain the ridiculous plot twists that appear out of thin air. The only thing that would explain this movie's existence at all is that some rich kid wanted to see himself in a movie, and hired all his friends to be in it. That would also explain why this utter lack of anything of quality has such good distribution. Don't even rent it to see how bad a movie can be: many of you can make better movies than this.

There was only one line in this film that was conveyed convincingly. See if YOU can find it. (Hint: it has 'bulls***' in it.)It was a bad sign that I put this movie in my VCR and discovered that the previous renter did not bother to 'be kind and rewind'. In fact, it appears that they may have gotten about 20 minutes into the film and hit EJECT.Yes, the acting reeks. I ended up not liking any of the characters and even hoped that the creature would 'get' the wife....or anyone, for that matter. Horrible acting a la Mark Spitz. To go along with that acting is dialog that will have your eyebrows raising. Some very insipid lines delivered by some really bad actors. Yes, but I knew this before I put it in. I WANTED to watch a bad movie.For the most part the plot and action are straight out of the 1950's monster movie period. However, much of what goes on frequently makes less sense than many films from that period. Unbelievable logical lapses. There are holes in the script you could drive a >put your word here< through.
Unexplainable gore and body parts....at first. But stay with it til the end.The best technical part of the film was the camera work and direction. Very professional tracking and blocking. It seemed completely out of place it was so good.You may think by the sound of this that I hated the film. I really didn't. I knew it was going to be bad before I started it. I can handle it. I sat through 'Eegah' twice, after all.When you finally get to the end and find out what is really going on then the film becomes interesting. Too bad though. End of film. I was hoping that it would play it out a bit more. A neat little idea that would have actually made a decent sequel. Sequel? Unlikely.This was not a good movie. But it wasn't the worst. I wouldn't recommend it and I won't see it again. But the neat little twist at the end had me thinking about it for awhile. Not an entire loss.

Bad acting, stupid scenes and rediculous monsters. That sums up this nightmare. The whole concept of the woods is a joke. There are only about 10 minutes that you see these idiots actually in the woods. And when they did go to the woods, these firemen actually want to dig up a grave so that they maybe help the police locate a body? Can anyone say STUPID!!!! And in the first scene, there is a house on fire and these firemen are fighting the fire and trying to rescue people in the house. Come to find out, the lady and the baby both die in the fire, which really bothers Alex. The dialogue on the back of the firetruck when Alex is upset to learn the baby died. "Gee Alex, those things happen". Gee Alex? Haven't heard Gee anything since the Bradybunch. The acting only gets worse. Another example. Fat ass man sees the devil-dog coming. Instead of running out of the building, he unlocks some type of closet and jumps behind some good old cardboard boxes. Yeah, them boxes always protect you from monsters. This movie sucks ass big time. Please don't waste your money and your time with this crap.

If you have the terrible misfortune of actually renting this STUPID movie, I feel very sorry for you.If you are thinking of renting it---DON'T! I am here to warn you that this movie is the dumbest piece of garbage anyone has ever made--EVER. From the paper thin acting and storyline to the fake looking "monster", everything about this movie completely SUCKS!The "actors" are just some local people who just woke up one day and said, hey--let's get out the video cam and film an entire movie in one day, sure--it'll sell like hotcakes!!This stupid attempt at a movie makes "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" look like a cinematic masterpiece!PLEASE AVOID THIS MOVIE AND KEEP THESE "MOVIE MAKERS" OUT OF BUSINESS-THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO TALENT!
