If your a fan of movies that are based off a true story you might want to check this film out. When a group of young campers wander into the backwoods of upstate New York to see if Cappy's Cabin--a place they think exists only in urban legend--is real, they find themselves in a twisted game of predator and prey as night begins to fall. All they have to do is survive until dawn, but Cappy is very, very real, and night has only just begun. One thing you notice right off the bat is this is a low budget film,that's not a problem with me but wanted to make that clear right away. Also the title could of been different it's too close to that "other" film and gives people false idea of what kind of movie this is. The story was pretty good, a group kids wonder into the forbidden area of the woods to prove that the legend of the serial killer Cappy is false, and of course they are wrong and Cappy has 2 sons to help him do his nasty deeds. The acting for a bunch of unknowns is pretty good and they all play believable character's. The few flaw's the film has is it's a little too slow for it's own good and the villains are not all that scary but this is more a thriller than a horror film so as long as the suspense is good it's ok and that part of the film is decent enough. This is not a bad film, it just isn't a great one either but if your a fan of anything based off true stories you are going to want to check this out. Released by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment. ** 1/2 Out Of *****
