Synopsis:
The Good: Hmm. Uhm…Kane Hodder? Look, it’s not great. It does have a sense of humor…and the cgi is surprisingly good for the time/obvious lack of budget. There were some cool moments and a surprising lack of gratuitous sex though tons and tons of violence. The campside scene was incredible.
The Bad: Basically everything else. Even Kane Hodder couldn’t save this from being terrible. Including the ill placed one-liners and the ridiculous opening.
Best Line: “I’m real bitchy when I wake up.”
“Did you just wake up?”
Fun Fact: Neither casting director Robin Cook nor director James Isaac initially wanted to do the virtual reality scene with the naked campers. Cook was so adamant the scene was nothing but gratuitous nudity that she refused to cast the roles of the two topless girls, relegating those duties to her casting assistant Andrea Kool. Isaac agreed that it was clearly just nudity for nudity’s sake, and the only way he could personally justify it is if they had fun with it and poked fun at it including naked teens in its films. The two actresses Kool ended up casting, Kaye Penaflor and Tania Maro, were very excited about doing the scene because this was the biggest film either of them ever appeared in.
