Stanze has done better, but he has done MUCH worse as well

A group of young adults go up to stay at one of their Uncle's cabin in the woods. But it's located near an old Indian burial ground, and they get trapped with body possessing demon Indian spirits. Eric Stanze is a independent film maker who is difficult to pin, on one hand he gave us utter crap like "I spit on your corpse, I p*ss on your grave" On the other he made the pretty watchable "Christmas Season Massacre", so he's not talentless. This film falls between the previously mentioned two quality wise. The first twenty minutes are so are slower then molasses, but after wards it moves at a fairly decent pace.

My Grade: C+
