The film itself is pretty enjoyable, and a not-too-shabby animal attack horror.
Even with the early murder, however, the film takes its time getting going and there are long periods of time where nothing at all really happens, but somehow it kept my attention.
Also, you really don’t get any good gore or violence until the last half-hour or so.
It actually seems like they didn’t have the budget to get use any of the gore effects until the last chunk of the flick, and that definitely hurt the quality.
To be honest, you could probably fast forward to that point and still get the best experience from this movie as possible.
All-in-all a passable start for the first time director and mostly lesser-known cast, and not bad for a brainless Friday night time-killer.
As part of a new rehabilitation program, eight troubled young adults are sent to serve a week of community service in a remote California state forest range called Grizzly Park.
Under the supervision of the stalwart Ranger Bob (Glenn Morshower of “24″), the troubled group is given an opportunity to seek redemption on their journey through the forest.
While Ranger Bob seeks to provide both literal and spiritual guidance to the youngsters, an escaped serial killer with an insatiable bloodlust has also found his way into the park with every intention of disposing of anyone in his path.
But he is not the only lethal hunter in these woods…
