Group of teenagers. Cottage in the woods. Mad axeman. Last one standing. Ludicrously stupid behaviour. Preposterous twist ending.
Yes, it's one of those. I think the thing which impressed me most - or depressed me most, if you will - was the degree of stupidity exhibited by the teenagers. I am sure it is possible to do one of these films and have the group not split up so that they can be picked off one by one, or not go down into the cellar in the dark, or kill the killer when he is unconscious, or at least take his axe with you.
Dismal stuff, with the minimum mark allowed, plus a bonus point for being filmed in real woods with real snow (we don't get much snow in my neck of the woods, and I'm easily impressed).
