When I first popped this film into my DVD player I didn't really know what to expect. I assumed that the top billing of Tom Savini would actually mean he appeared in about four seconds of the movie. Boy was I in for a surprise. Not only does he actaully have a huge part, but the entire film is pretty good with characters of depth, cool effects, an original story and solid acting.

When several friends are driving through the woods, they "run into" some trouble and end up lost in the sticks with no cell phone reception and no help in sight. Of course they didn't heed the warning from the local nay sayer about the strange creatures in the forest. We all know what that means. The creatures are actually angels who have been kicked out of Heaven and are now up to the Devil's work. As the friends split up to search for help, they come across a house that makes you want to scream "Haven't you guys seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?" Apparently they have not because they walk on in.

We soon discover that the dilapidated abode belongs to Stephen, a hermit whose parents were killed by the fallen angels years before. He has since been using unsuspecting travelers as bait for the demon chicks. Now the kids must battle him as well as the forsaken to save their own lives.

One thing I must add is that I began to notice a trend concerning the names of the characters. They are Judd, Molly, Ally, Andrew, Emilio...you get the idea. That's right, they went there. They named the characters after the brat-packers. I actually think this is a cool send up to the films that we all loved as teens, but it is too bad that it was done by Sleepaway Camp 2 first.
