Don't listen to the negative reviews

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A bunch of rather older-looking kids travel to a Christian camp out in the woods. There's a lot of painful silliness the bus. Once they arrive we meet their ridiculous leader, a pretty girl also in charge, and the cook(?). It's not long before they start taking their clothes off and the marijuana jokes begin. For some reason only one pair of girls seem to be Christian, the rest not so much. Meanwhile some stranger is traveling in the direction of the camp. He stops at the park ranger office to warn that everyone is going to die and they should evacuate immediately. As evidence he offers some old newspaper clippings.But of course he's right. By now someone or something dragging some large-pancake cart has started killing kids. It takes a while before the guy who's some researcher arrives at the camp and warns them. At that point we learn who the killer is and why he kills. It's a rather ridiculous explanation that I won't give here. Soon enough the killer arrives in the middle of dining hall and the mayhem is on. At this point the movie decides who the lead characters are and those will have figure out a way to eliminate this killer for good.I really like the spirit in which this movie was made. I'm all for 80's-style raunchy teen slasher flicks. But as often happens, they had to ruin it by making it a parody/comedy. One movie-making convention seems to be that if you combine teens and violence you have to mask it as a comedy. Unfortunately making comedy and even more so, parody, is far more challenging than straight-forward horror. There are couple of good lines though.Lumberjack Man is 1:45 hours--at least 15 minutes too long, a strange decision when you don't have a lot of budget. Another convention of low-budget movie-making is that you've got to have at least one big name in your cast. In this case it's Michael Madsen who does a good job, not taking the role too seriously. The rest of the main cast does surprisingly well. All of them give committed performances. The problem is the silliness factor, not the acting. One weakness of this movie is that it really doesn't give us a lead character for which to care. Of course, it's the girl who doesn't take her clothes off who will end up being the lead, but for most of the movie, she isn't. For a movie like this, the cast isn't particularly attractive. Brina Palencia in some tertiary role is lovely though. Then there are some porn stars here for some reason.I'm very conflicted about this movie. I enjoyed the gore, violence, and nudity but hated the goofiness. The movie-makers have some talent and enthusiasm but botched it.

WTF was that, is the only thing that was running through my mind when the movie ended. I am going to list several things below, and if you like any of these things, then you will probably watch this movie. Before I start I just want to say on the record, this is a horrible movie. I am dumber for ever having watched 10 seconds of it, let alone an hour and a half. I would have turned it off, but I am not a quitter, and I was hoping that at some point it would redeem itself. I was wrong. Well, here goes. 1) Tits - There are more tits in this movie than I have ever seen in any move...EVER! This statement alone will probably get half the male population to watch it, and some females. 2) Very, Very, Cheesy poorly developed plots - The plot in a nutshell, tits, weirdly incarnated maniac, tits, tits, super cheesy ending. 3) Michael Madsen - I personally am a Madsen fan, because of reservoir dogs alone, but I have to believe that this movie for him was all about a paycheck. Please Michael tell me that's what it was. So in recap, tits tits tits, bad acting, more tits, bad slasher, and tits. On the plus side its a really cool cover.

If you see this movie and like it, then your intelligence just won the second place after your pet dog. The movie is not horror neither comedy. The director tried to make a horror but eventually the horror scenes turned out to be hilarious.1) The story - A man was murdered for recipe because he refused to disclose it and get rich as it was a family recipe. Hence he was murdered but later comes back from the grave, makes huge pancakes , carries them on a cart and kills people for no reason. Yes folks this is an actual story on which they made a movie. The story writer had no clue what he was supposed to write and must be high on something while he scribbled this crap.2) Director - The director wanted to direct a porn movie but someone forced him to direct this movie. His vision of horror is really pathetic and I hope he never ever tries to make a movie.3) The actors - They deserve an Oscar really. I mean nobody in the movie had the slightest intent to act even a little. They cannot act. Two guys( that too one with receding hair pretending to be a college teen) and a bunch of girls ( whose looks and acting skills matches a porn star) are collected from somewhere and told to do whatever they felt like.THIS MOVIE IS BAD, REALLY REALLY BAD. IT IS SO BAD THAT IF YOU SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND WAKE UP AFTER SOME TIME YOU WILL NOT EVEN MISS ANYTHING. THE KILLER KILLS A PERSON BY SMASHING HIS HEAD WITH A PANCAKE.. YES THIS IS SUCH A BAD MOVIE. I WILL REGRET LOOSING THE TIME BEHIND THIS MOVIE FOREVER.

Maybe you have to be in the right mood with the right taste in comedy to enjoy this movie, which is why I think many other reviews are negative. But dang it if I wasn't in the right mood with the right taste in comedy. That doesn't make it a great movie, but it was just the right amount of blood, boobs, and genuine chuckles that I wanted.My advice for enjoying it would be not to expect a good horror movie. It's a decent comedy that alternates between self-aware mockery and nonsensical goofiness (though it's not always 100% clear if it's on purpose).I'd love to hear a director's commentary on this. I'm sure it would be a lot of: "We don't know why we did it this way, but it was funny." or "This didn't quite work, but we left it in." "They didn't have lines, so we let them say whatever."
