HOSTEL in the deep woods

Several couples descend on a cabin in the woods for a little R&R Unfortunately, there is a mad killer on the loose and he starts picking them off one by one. We get to see some nifty torture sequences straight out of HOSTEL. The acting is strictly from hunger, but what else is new in the slasher category? The novelty of this inexpensive, 80s-style horror flick is that some of the couples are black and the story is largely seen through the eyes of two black guys. Too much wandering around the woods, which is standard for this type of movie, to help pad out the running time. While it will not win any awards, SOMEBODY is watchable. And better than AX 'EM. Far, far better.
