“After a drug overdose, a group of friends decides to take their friend on a special rehab trip into the woods to help get her clean, but while they stay there come across a family of deformed creatures living in the woods who torture and kill everyone they come across forcing them to get away alive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, this was a pretty fun and likable genre effort. Among the finer aspects here is the generally enjoyable setup that manages to interject the classic nursery rhyme into the filmu0026#39;s overall approach. The main approach of this one, trying to use the trip to get their friend ready for rehab after the drug overdose and encounter she has offers a rather fun reason for getting them out into the woods where they can encounter the creatures running wild in the area. As weu0026#39;re given enough to understand what the friend group is like, how hard theyu0026#39;re trying to genuinely help her and get enough of a handle on how sheu0026#39;s taking their interests with her that the creature confrontations come off rather nicely. This allows for a fun series of cheesy situations with the creatures. The opening attack on the strangers running through the woods is a fine start with the brutal encounters being quite shocking, setting this up nicely for the creatures to attack the house and overwhelm everyone there resulting in them being found in gruesome traps. With its effective nature this comes off with a comfortable dive into Torture Porn alongside more traditional stalking to gather them as victims leading into a nice finale, thereu0026#39;s some unexpected touches here that make this slightly more amusing than at first glance, which alongside the fine low-budget creature effects are what make this one quite fun. There are some issues with this one that hold it back. The biggest issue here is the first half getting the group out to the woods where the creatures live which doesnu0026#39;t have the tempo to stay interesting the whole time. Several of the attempts to keep her there and in the treatment process isnu0026#39;t the most logical either so itu0026#39;s somewhat flimsy how they can overlook some of the attacks going on so that they can stay there for her to keep the creatures from being explained since this has nothing about them. As well, youu0026#39;ve also got to deal with the whole scenario in place which is immensely cheesy and might be an issue for some to get over, being the main issue holding this down.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.”
