Something strange in the woods.
A stinker of a movie.
Dave checks out Backwoods Bloodbath…
Disturbed by a sound effect, they both end up dead and bloodied.
Thus beginsBackwoods Bloodbath: Curse Of The Black Hodag.
This something is called the Hodag, a creature that has evolved over centuries and hunts mercilessly.
So, the student types get up to all sorts in their shack in the woods.
Theres plenty of history between these characters and they seem to want to share it in every other sentence.
This is all when theyre not going hunting for strange sounds and dying.
Its not the worlds best plan, and with the increased mortality rate, it shows.
However, by this point, you might have given up caring and gone to do your washing.
Its actually like watching strawberry syrup in places when blood flies across the screen.
The Hodag isnt finished, though, as theres plenty more killing to do.
Except, its not the end!
I feared the film wouldnt actually end at all at this point.
We get an end piece where the only survivor dreams that her dead friends are calling her name.
Just in case youre wondering,Backwoods Bloodbathis a stinker of a movie, even by low budget standards.
Its got lots of ideas that have been thrown in together, without any sense of logic.
Theres a certain perverse pleasure to be obtained from low budget fodder.
Typically, its fun watching how something made on a shoestring manages to achieve a sense of place.
