Better-than-usual direction, cinematography, and production values lift this movie above the complete craplitude which is normal for the slasher genre.
Unfortunately, poor acting, atrocious dialogue, a derivative and silly-looking creature, and the hackneyed monster-kills-teenage-jerks-in-the-woods plot don't permit it to rise any higher than sub-mediocrity.
