Wow, this movie really impressed the tar out of me,, all of the death scenes were pretty much original, i hadn't scene them anywhere before,, the performance of Kane Hodder was great, i loved the makeup for the monster. It was a nice touch to see Robert Englund in there too, though i wish he had more to do in this one, plus you have the two wannabe actresses, trying to be porn stars.. which was fun, then you have the lone black guy, who was very funny. This Director really seemed to know what he was doing. Most of this movie takes place at night in the swamp, i loved the storyline, the plot and how everything moved pretty quickly, the key here is the story didn't stay "stuck" on one particular scene or anything it kept a swift pace moving from point "a" to point "b" very quickly, without any haste,, i loved this movie , and that's all there is to it.. really.
