Storyline

For five adventurous friends, visiting the legendary murder site of the Redwood House has all the hallmarks of being an exciting and thrilling camping weekend away. A popular site for revellers and party goers, each year on the exact date of the famous local family massacre, people from around the country head out to the site to have fun and scare each other. Events take a bloody turn for the worse when the innocent campers discover the Redwood legend is in fact a horrible bloody reality, which turns the unsuspecting victims into prey for a mysterious axe wielding maniac that has remained dormant for 20 years.

Trivia

The German (Dubbed) version released on the 24th April 2015 is not the mastered movie sent over by the original Scotish based production company. Music & Sound Fx have been dramatically changed by the distributor, and in some cases result in multiple music tracks from different parts of the film playing at the same time.

Goofs

At the beginning of the movie, minute 4:56, Jessica (Rebecca Wilkie) walks into the wood with Pamela. At minute 5:55, at the same place and situation, she looks notoriously skinnier and her make up is a lot different than the previous scene (another eyebrow design, false eyelashes, almost clownish).

User Reviews

The movie was awful, but the worst part is how long the ending dragged on.

The movie was not good at all. Acting was mediocre, plot was barely existent, and there was no depth to any of the characters. Now usually I can let a not great plot slip if there's enough bloodshed, and don't get me wrong there is a lot of that in this movie, but it was just so cookie cutter. There was nothing new or different or middle entertaining. It was just the same old copy paste "Guy with mask goes around a forest stabbing people" and it just felt like nobody put any effort into any aspect of the movie. The ending was the worst part though, because it just kept dragging on. The last 30 minutes (and the movie is only 1 hour 22 minutes) is just you thinking its over but nope it isn't because of some stupid uninteresting irrelevant thing that either doesn't make sense, or is just plain boring. It had its moments if you're like me and you like slashers, but it was just so cookie cutter, so boring, so predictable, so unentertaining. There are no scares in this movie at all. I don't even remember if they tried to put in a jump scare, I was so bored I just really didn't care.
