Backwoods (1987)

Dean Crow

A slow-paced film that doesn't deliver until an hour into it, and by then you've likely lost all interest. Some of the build-up and tension seemed to work for me, but the payoff was a little too short-lived and...

Bodycount (1984)

Ruggero Deodato

Basic horror flick with teens going to camp and ending up getting killed. They tried to add a few twists in it, but failed. I thought the movie wasn't anything new, but it was still fun to watch. Check this film out if...

Boy Scouts vs. Zombies

In Development

English

Andy Fickman

Revolves around a boy scout troop that must save the local girl scout troop from a zombie outbreak on an overnight camping trip.

Exists

Pre-Production

English

Eduardo Sanchez

Follows a group of twenty-somethings who take a trip to a cabin deep in the wooded wilderness and are methodically hunted by a Bigfoot-like beast.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Steve Miner

It's not perfect, but it comes as close to it as a slasher sequel can. With a charismatic leading lady, good pacing, and a frightening bagheaded Jason, Part 2 has everything you could ask for. A must see for any lover...

Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982)

Steve Miner

While my least favorite of the first four, Friday the 13th Part 3 still delivers all the goods needed to make a slasher fan happy. A technical achievement at the time that outgrossed Jaws 3-D and Amityville 3-D, me thinks,...

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

Joseph Zito

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is a strong entry into one of the most beloved (and berated) horror franchises of all time. Boasting strong direction, likable actors (for the most part), and a copious amount of badassery...

Hunter's Blood (1986)

Robert C. Hughes

A good addition and slightly more realistic take on the backwoods survival sub-gene. The cast is likable, the foes aren't unbelievable, and the situations are interesting. Definitely worth a check if you like these...

Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)

Tom McLoughlin

Jason Lives is a tricky film to examine because while it doesn't stray too far away from the tired but true slasher formula, it excels behind the camera with a tight script, beyond competent directing, and phenomenal...

Primal (2009)

Josh Reed

Primal is a surprisingly entertaining no-brainer horror flick that doesn't try to deliver anything we haven't already seen, but still manages to keep us watching. Aside from the horrendous CGI and rushed editing...

Recreator

Awaiting Release

English

Gregory Orr

Duplicates. Doubles. Recreations. Call them what you will, they are exact copies of Craig, Tracy and Derek, three friends on a camping trip who accidentally trigger a deadly experiment left by the Recreator, a mysterious...

Red Machine

Pre-Production

English

David Hackl

Two estranged brothers reunite at their childhood home in the Alaskan wilderness and attempt to mend their troubled past. Together with their girlfriends, they embark on a camping adventure that goes horribly awry when they...

Road Kill (2010)

Dean Francis

Road Kill offers an interesting concept, but due to the poor execution, resulted in a dull and failed attempt at crossing sub-genres. Had certain aspects been explored further or the premise relied less on the monotonous...

The Final Terror (1983)

Andrew Davis

This is a fairly underrated backwoods-survival horror flick, where it relies on atmosphere and the characters survival instincts to move along its story. There isn't much for gore or on-screen deaths, but if you're...

The Forest (1983)

Don Jones

To me this was more of a kids flick than a horror film. Could have had a lot more to it. Not recommended.

The Healer

Pre-Production

English

Giorgio Serafini

An ailing father, who is about to undergo a potentially life-threatening surgery, takes his teenage kids into the woods to try and recapture their early closeness. But the three become lost in a haunted forest from which...

The Hike

Awaiting Release

English

Rupert Bryan

Kate (Zara Phythian) is back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan after seeing her soldier boyfriend die in combat. She has reunited with her best friends back home, who whisk her away on a ‘healing’ camping trip to a...

The Prey (1984)

Edwin Scott Brown

Another rare 80's slasher that follows the formula with less than stellar results. Nothing to new or exciting is offered up, except for the one climbing scene that Wrong Turn blatantly ripped off. Recommended to the 80...

Tucker & Dale vs Evil

Awaiting Release

English

Eli Craig

In the vein of Shaun of the Dead, Tucker & Dale is a wild, wonky tale of two hillbilly buddies trying to survive their vacation in the woods when they are mistaken for killers by a gang of college kids. Our heroes...

Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010)

Eli Craig

Tucker & Dale vs Evil is a successful blend of comedy, a creative premise, likeable characters, and some blood and gore for good measure. It's amazing how the flick still hasn't received the proper distribution...
