THE PLOT:

When you go into the woods today, you're in for a big surprise. When you go into the woods today you're not going to believe your eyes. But it ain't no "teddy bear picnic". Three girls discover that two men are willing to do anything to impress Mother and what impresses Mother is watching her son commit acts of rape and murder.

Now these women are prisoners and lowered to pawns in the game of checkers between two dim wits and their Maniac Mommy and the question becomes, can any of them escape, alive?

ZEDD'S OPINION:

I'm sorry, I am generally a fan of the Trauma movie company. But this is the worst thing they ever made and they have made some stinkers, I tell you what. But this doesn't even make sense, where was the Police, when enough people disappear in a general area the Police would investigate. If there Hikers go missing the Police and volunteers would search for them. What, when hikers disappear in these woods, the people go "Oh well, their dead" and move on? What? That doesn't even make sense. I'm sorry but watching women get raped is not scary to me, it's just sick and sick is not scary. Plus, she calls herself a woman, allowing her sons to rape women. What is her problem? I'm going on and on. But Llyod, do us all a favor and burn the original negative and forget your company ever made this crap. THE NOOSE!

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

We decided to do this on May 12th because May 13th is Mother's Day and we wanted to celebrate with a Mother's Day related horror movie, but I'm sorry to say that this was the only Mother's Day horror movie we can find and what a pity. But I got to admit the acting was pretty good, but other then that, this is a complete load of crap. THE NOOSE!

ON THE POSTIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ ACTING (The acting was good.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE(- MISSES):

- NO POLICE OR RANGERS (Where were the search parties for the all the missing hikers?)
- RAPE (90 minutes of rape is not scary.)
- NOT SCARY (Sick and disturbing is not scary.)
- BAD ENDING (Appently Mommy Dearest has a mutant daughter she wasn't speaking to, which attacks and I assumes kills the last survivor at the end.)

AND FINALLY...

- NOT FOR EVERYBODY (If you find women getting raped, tortured and murdered disturbing and not entertaining, then this isn't the movie for you. If you don't, then please, seek help.)
