If the title of this review hooks you, then you'll probably find this movie worth watching, but calling it "good" is stretching it.
The kills are amazing and brutal, the make up effects are great, the setting is really cool - a California town in the woods with lots of neat cabin-like buildings, the killer has a decent get up, and the story idea is okay.
The pacing is terrible, the script is worse, the story tries to throw in laughable red-herrings and goes all over the place, and the ending is laughable.
Still, this is a rare gem with scenes that will stick with you long after you've seen it. Fans of Euro slasher Giallo movies will probably like it a lot if they can put up with the slow pacing and ridiculous script.
Why do I only rate this 3/10? The fifteen or so minutes of this that is fun and worth watching is really good, but the rest is so painful I can't stand it.
