Once upon a time ... Angie, an aging star reluctantly goes on one last shoot for a seedy Producer, on location, in an enchanting old cabin deep in the shadowy forest. While on the shoot the cast and crew encounter Henry, and his little sweet sister Patti, two strange and mysterious children who seem to live in the woods. A violent attack on the second evening of shooting sends Angie and the rest of the crew into a frighten frenzy. They lock themselves into their secluded cabin and find themselves trapped and surrounded by an unknown assailant. Could these two children be responsible for these vicious attacks?

Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
inhopewell Personally, I'm tired of the "movie-made-by-drunk-college-kids-for-drunk-college-kids" sub-genre of horror films, and this qualifies, although to be honest, it's not as bad as some I've seen.The acting ranged from adequate to awful, the opening scene was all too familiar, i.e. bunch of profane, plastered college kids arrives out in the woods, alternately teasing and cussing each other out. There really wasn't much original here, just some re-arranging of the second-hand furniture. It's sad that so much available technology is wasted in the name of easy pseudo-shocks and nudity / gore.These kids, plus an older (thirty-ish) woman, are at a remote cabin to film a porno movie (read, excuse for nudity and sex scenes)when they encounter a strange brother and sister team. Unless you've been a cave sniffing glue for the past thirty years, there's no surprises here, although this may be the goal; nothing challenging, just more gawk-chow.
horrornerdsdotcom Gore is only half the reason you buy a ticket to a horror movie, and I think you know where I'm going with this. Sex and nudity is the other half, and just as the rules of cinema dictate, the price you pay for good sex is death. In "Bread Crumbs", directed by Mike Nichols (not the one you're thinking of) sex is on everyone's mind, as the cast of characters is working on a quasi-professional porn shoot. It's "Boogie Nights" meets "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and the greatest risk of the film might very well be that the sex storyline eclipses the horror. Depending on how much you buy the performances, you may start rooting for fewer scares and more sex (though, sorry to let you down, there's not much of the latter after all).Horror and GoreBread Crumbs' violent peaks are fairly graphic and the suffering of maimed characters is painful enough to watch, so you at least have to give kudos to the creative team's use of the camera and editing. What truly redeems Bread Crumbs is the fact that the film's logic is completely believable, since there is no need for "suspension of disbelief" when you're dealing with a bunch of porn stars, who would probably not make the most educated guesses when it comes to eluding knife-wielding maniacs. How to Watch ItBread Crumbs' villains, an homage to Hansel and Gretel, are in the hillbilly horror vein, and thus may need a few drinks to impress. Dan Shaked is a bit green, and not quite up to Deliverance quality, but keep in mind his range may have been purposely limited since he's essentially playing a mentally handicapped maniac with a drawl. If you're a fan of old school horror you may catch some very subtle similarities to a 1970's film called "Girly". Whenever someone says you're playing Cowboys and Indians, it's usually time to take cover!
Neil Welch A group of people go to a cabin in the woods and get slaughtered by a couple of young people.This cabin in the woods slasher film starts out with an interesting premise - the slaughter fodder aren't the usual copulating teenagers, they are a copulating group making a porn movie - but sadly disappears into complete predictability. The fact that it's never really clear why the perpetrators are perpetrating (or, to be more specific, how they ended up in this situation) doesn't help. There are some bloody killings, acting which varies from not good to not bad, and some mild muckiness at the start of the porn movie work. Otherwise, this is a completely unexceptional cabin in the woods slasher movie.
dustyp-1 The synopsis for this one sounded fairly interesting and it was on Netflix Instant, so I checked it out. I've noticed that I typically enjoy recommendations that are 2-2.5 stars on there because overall, I quite enjoy bad movies as long as there is something...anything to keep me entertained.This movie actually starts off fairly good. Then after the introductions of characters gets over with is when the movie starts to dive bomb as it's clear the people behind this movie really had no idea of what KIND of movie they wanted to make. I say this, because early on it feels like they have a ton of pointless red herrings. For example, there's a woodsman that you constantly hear off in the distance that they seem to try and make you think is part of the plot, but he's not. He's worthless and does not help the movie push forward at all.Another thing that royally annoyed me, is that this is one of those movies where at ANY POINT each of the cast could have done something to stop the children who are harassing them throughout the movie (of course, I say "children", but they are most likely 18-20). I mean, seriously...like 8 people can't take out two little brats, only one of which was armed at any given point? Come on. And then they actually capture one of the kids and want to do something about it, but the lead stops them as if she's not aware they are getting picked off. Oh yeah, because she's "just a kid"...riiiiiight.Then the ending....absolutely a cop out. It's like they just didn't even care to end it. It's not a "twist", it's just bad. Do not waste time with this one.
