Too many fans seem to be blown away

Excellent, a Must See

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A bunch of ugly (with the exception of the blonde) non actors go for a fun weekend in the woods, despite warnings from the non actor locals to stay away, apparently there's a maniacal killer called Cyrus up there who doesn't take kindly to visitors! Zero marks for originality, but then that's something us slasher movies fans happily accept. The camerawork, sound, acting & script are all very poor and whilst the special effects look like they've been done by a school kid the body count at least is quite high, and old Cyrus is pretty creepy. There are two types of bad movies - those that are just painful to watch; and those that are so bad they are fun. In my opinion this falls into the latter category. Apparently this has somehow spawned 2 sequels & I shall certainly be looking to check them out.

This hyper low budget slasher flick tells the story of a redneck poisoned with pure LSD who lives out in the woods, broken minded and psychotic.The killer looks ridiculous, the deaths are pitiful and the level of entertainment on display is simply non-existent.The whole thing is so very disjointed and amateurish with a cast who have come from nothing and will go onto nothing.Dire stuffThe Good: It endedThe Bad: Looks dreadfulBad sound balancing in placesKiller looks terribleNo originality at all Things I Learnt From This Movie: A person who has slept with every boyfriend you've ever had would be referred to as a prude Upon learning that a potential killer is in their house a parents priority will be to get the babysitter out and not acknowledge the kids

I'm not sure what film the other reviewer on here saw but the DARK SHADE CREEK I watched was a complete piece of junk and nothing more than a waste of time slasher effort. Once against the plot is of the old, very tired, let's-go-camping-in-the-woods variety, as a bunch of airhead guys take a trip that quickly turns deadly.Most of the running time consists of a bunch of guys hanging around in a garage and chatting about everyday trivia. Exciting it isn't. The low budget look is very typical and the film lacks the kind of style or effort to make it a good one. The gore literally consists of lumps of raw meat being chucked around. I hated it.

1. Blonde who can't act her way out of a paper bag and a bad spray on tan? Check.2. Warned to not go in the woods, but they go into the woods anyway? Check.3. Fat plain looking girl with the fat ugly guy? Check.4. Rednecks with folksy sounding names and bad teeth? Check.5. Lifesized clown doll urban legend? Check.6. Everyone getting drunk and acting real stupid? Check.7. Car won't start? Check.Trust me when I say there are more. I feel dumber for having watched this. While this was made for $500, that is no excuse for not knowing how to edit. The music and sound effects blast you out of your seat and the dialogue is really soft. Considering most of the cast and crew are related, I'm sure someone could have helped with the sound editing.The story is one big cliché. Don't go in the woods, there's a killer out there! Oh, stupid rednecks, they're so superstitious and we're hipsters, so we are just going to laugh at all the warnings. Other things are really laughable too. The local store only sells moonshine, not beer and they're drinking it as fast as if it was beer? Yeah. Anyone who has tried moonshine would tell you that people don't act like they're drinking water and to drink the amount these people did would lead to alcohol poisoning and the killer wouldn't have had to have stalked them. If this was reality, the movie would have been about them going into comas and choking to death on their own vomit.The continuity is way off. Hey, it's storming outside. Oh, let's switch to where the killer is stalking someone and it's not even raining, even though it's like 10 feet from the cabin!This is also the most fleet footed killer around. It takes the sheriff hours to get somewhere close, but the killer can walk there in five minutes.The acting. Holy mother of god, the acting. Everyone was awful, but the lead, who appears to be married to the writer/director, was the absolute worst. She recited the lines, but it sounded like she was reading them off cue cards without even understanding what they meant. She really needs to get that deviated septum fixed, too. And to lose that Long Island Psychic hairdo.This was truly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If the idea was to make the worst horror movie ever, based on every don't go in the woods movie ever, they did a fantastic job. Skip it when you run across it. Unless you want to marvel at how many of them are related. I swear, about the only time I've seen so many people with the same name was the one time I was forced to watch the Duggars.
