Has anyone seen this vintage Fred Olen Ray classic?
The story concerns a group of kids who go up to the mountains for an archeological dig and end up either being possessed by the spirit of the mountains or being killed in various bloody ways.
The atmosphere is intended to be the in the vein of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. It succeeds with a cool amateur look and the grizzly killings give it a snuff feel at times. Plus, the actors are all horrible, there's a lot of ranting and raving, and some of the best timing in dialogue I've EVER heard.
For Instance:
Indian- "Don't go past the black trees."
One of the kids turns towards the standing codger.
Kid- "What old timer?"
The old man walks towards them.
Indian- "I must sit down."
It doesn't fit, but it's actually pretty funny. The effects are bad, the style is tacky and unrefined, there's a random lion man, and an downbeat ending. Completely bipolar effort is actually a lot of fun!
7/10
