When I started watching this I saw what is supposed to be the "gimmick" for this film....it claims to be restored footage from 1972. Well, despite the pains taken to make it look that way, the pretense gets lost a few times but there is actually a decent attempt to recreate the look and feel of an early 70's film, complete with not-so-loving flower children. A woman is released from a mental hospital after she freaked out while making a porno movie and injured her co-star. The doctor releases her with the stipulation that she go home and let her parents care for her for a while, but she sees her old house and knows she can't go back there, so off she goes into the desert, where she breaks down after being harassed by rednecks. She hooks up with some hippie types, does lots of drugs, and has flashbacks to things she did in her life that would probably disturb anyone. Something to do with her sister, who is apparently the little girl she keeps seeing. The gang heads for some house that is "on the edge of the woods" and nobody that has lived there has ever done very well. With continuing to live, that is. At that point, of course, bad things begin to happen and things get bloody. It even has a typical 70's "ending that's not really much of an ending" thing down perfect. This fluctuates between actual attempts to make this look like an old film and just a bunch of people dressed like hippies, but overall the acting and the attempt to capture the feel of an early 70's movie is much better here than in the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre from a few years ago. The people seem to actually fit the parts better here. This is weird and offbeat enough to be enjoyable and doesn't seem to take itself completely seriously, so if you enjoy the weird and offbeat then you may not be disappointed. 7 out of 10, much better than ever expected!
