Shot in 1981 but unreleased until 1983, this was the feature debut of director Andrew Davis, who would later go on to make several quality action films, most notably the Chuck Norris vehicle CODE OF SILENCE (1985) and then ABOVE THE LAW (1988). Unfortunately, Davis demonstrates little of the talent he would evidence later with this predictable slasher film, which follows a bevy of teenage campers into the redwood forest as they die one by one at the hands of a deranged woman. Davis, who may have done cinematography duty as well under the pseudonym Andreas Davidescu, borrows liberally from every other city-folks-in-the-backwoods movie, especially DELIVERANCE. The only reason to watch this is to see future stars Adrian Zmed, Daryl Hannah, and Rachel Ward die bloody deaths. leave a comment
