Four young girls on a camping trip in the woods are stalked by a pair of crazed serial killers.

Reviews
Wordiezett So much average
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Woodyanders Two nasty and sadistic criminal scumbags stalk and terrorize a group of young female geology students on a camping trip in the desert.Writer/director Jeff Hathcock maintains a gritty'n'sleazy leering tone throughout, delivers a generous sprinkling of tasty gratuitous distaff nudity along with some okay gore, grounds the premise in a plausible workaday reality, and makes good use of the desolate desert main location. Robert Axelrod and Lonny Withers do credible work as the despicable misogynistic psycho creeps. David Essex's plain cinematography provides a suitably rough'n'grainy look. Glenn Baxley's shivery synthesizer score does the skin-crawling trick. Although this film suffers from sluggish pacing and a crippling dearth of tension, it nonetheless remains harsh and effective enough to qualify as a perfectly decent piece of grimy schlock.
HumanoidOfFlesh Four unattractive girls are raped and subjected to sexual degradation by two sleazy criminals.The desert setting is full of screams.After watching Jeff Hathcock's "Night Ripper" I decided to check out his debut "Victims".In comparison to "Night Ripper" "Victims" is far more exploitative and misogynistic.The acting is awful and some scenes are extremely cheesy,but the misogyny is rampant and some scenes of abuse are actually pretty mean-spirited.The film is obviously influenced by "Last House on the Left" and "I Spit on Your Grave",two exploitation staples of 70's.6 out of 10 for this low-budget piece of smut.Can't wait to see Jeff Hathcock's "Streets of Death".
EyeAskance A woefully pissant underachievement that reeks of a very uncool type of misogyny, VICTIMS finds a circle of young female geology students enjoying a relaxing expedition at some nameless middle-of-the-desert location(not the most appealing environment, but it's free to film your movie there). The girls are latterly besieged by some boneheaded creeps armed with hunting rifles on a rape-and-torture excursion. Not surprisingly, the proverbial tables are turned, and the morons are hit with their deserved comeuppance.Obviously drawing its feeble inspirations from an orbit of vastly superior films like LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, this hack-job of a non-thriller is so unskillfully forged that it boggles the mind to know it was given even minimal home video distribution. Were it not for gratuitous nudity and a light peppering of semi-micro-potent moments, VICTIMS could have been a lightweight contender for ALL-TIME WORST accolades, and although it may have Lilliputian advantages over famously awful films such as ROBOT MONSTER or THE CREEPING TERROR, its flagrant brutish machismo is so abject and gross that it registers as somehow worse than those films in a roundabout, off-the-charts sort of way. Blecccch.3/10...avoid this cinematic hemorrhoid.
kevin-167 There are times when you see a movie that is so bad that it simply has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is one of those movies. The sound quality is so bad that at times you simply cannot hear what the characters are saying. At other times the lighting is so subpar that you are unable to see what is going on. This movie is meant to be someone's version of sexploitation which is okay with this viewer, but it is done so unprofessionally and with such a lack of taste that the viewer cannot enjoy themselves. The actresses in the movie are not actresses at all and in all honesty they are as ugly as a bunch of wounded goats. Despicable film!
