Better Late Then Never

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This was the worst movie I've ever seen! I mean, I'm a giant fan of horror movies, I've seen so many and there definitely are MANY bad horror movies, but this movie was not only bad, it was completely senseless! The dialogs of the terrible clique of weed-headed young people were just killing me, they weren't even funny. Could anyone please tell me, why the hell the people selling chicken wings happen to be that crazy? are they some kind of relatives to the crank slaughter with the ax? Or are people living in this area just perverts? I didn't get the sense of these characters. Then, what about the cops? How stupid can one be and why are they so stupid? Was the intention of the movie to show that you can never trust in police cause they won't believe a guy who runs across the street completely out of breath and out of his mind, telling that his friends are just about to get killed near by? is it possible the movie-makers really think a cop wouldn't even stop for a second to think about it and make himself an own impression? Wouldn't he at least have a look if the story is true or not? Then the ending of this senseless minutes of horror : No ending! Crazy guy will continue to kill people who come to his house. Hm...u So let me sum it up: Bad characters, bad story because old old story with no fresh material in it, bad actors, movie FULL OF stereotypes (people who smoke weed are like this, cops are like that, people living far from the cities are so AND SO ON!) This equals a bad bad movie which wasn't worth one cent of the 5 Euros I paid for it!

I think the coolest scenes was when Mario Lopez, then that 2nd guy (baby daddy) discovered the girl lying beautifully in the woods and realizing that her head was on backwards. The reaction from both was top rate. I found ALL of the actors quite engaging, it was a B movie but they did not phone it in. I was rooting for them to survive, especially that nice Sheriff. But the couple that was having the baby annoyed me at the end, because they had a 2nd chance to get away and they're doing the "Run! But no I can't leave you!" argument yet again, until the slow walking psycho catches up to them.So the cars have been located, and tied to all missing people in the area, but no one knows the whereabouts of this cabin in the woods, everyone who did is dead. So does the guy get away with it or do they call in CSI Boondocks? Things that made me go hmmm?: Cops investigating without back-up. Why did the psycho killer kidnap the pregnant gal, suddenly breaking away from his M.O., and give her the chance to get free and run? Was the deputy's reaction to Mario Lopez based on the fact that he was Latino? Or was it standard police procedure in that town to club and arrest someone who waves them down screaming for help? The scene with Gary Busey was ridiculous and unnecessary. Bummer we never see "Jeremiah's" face. Yet another, wound the bad guy but don't make certain he's dead scene. Can't they at least tie him up? All in all it was fun. It's one of those see with a group, laugh, cringe and thrown popcorn at the screen movies.

OK, this follows the plot line of almost any no-fail-direct-to-video b movie. Group of kids following a few of the stock archetypes (stoners, oversexed girls and their horny boyfriends, idiot leader, cliché pseudo-intellectuals... et cetera) are out on some voyage. Our director chose one of the more popular type: camping. So they go out camping, have a rough start, meet Gary Busey (THIS IS CRUCIAL!!!), and set out into misadventure. Of course, they end up staying in a cabin that belongs to Jeremiah.Luckily for the audience, Jeremiah starts to remove from society our lovable youthful cast, as per every b flick. For the most part the movie was done really well. Scenes to remember include: Harold, the Janitor, and his criticism of modern amenities and philosophy; Every scene with the Sheriff or his bumbling deputy; and the chicken store/gas station.At the chicken farm, Gary Busey stars as the butcher in one of his best rolls ever. He is witty, nutty, covered in blood, and best of all, in a light blue three piece suit and tie. Bam, phenomenal. Honestly, he was the entire reason I rented the film. When it comes down to choosing from Hasting's array of B Horror movies, touting Gary Busey is important. Especially when he is THE FIRST CREDITED ON THE BACK. In the synopsis on the case, it even makes mention of his character. -- hardcore -- or so I thought...Attention, spoiler to follow: Gary Busey is in this movie for approximately two minutes. He makes those two minutes worth it, but I spent the ENTIRE DURATION OF THE FILM WAITING FOR HIM TO SHOW UP AGAIN... and he never does. This pisses me off to no end because his NAME WAS FIRST CREDITED AND HIS PICTURE IS ON THE DVD CASE. Yes, on the DVD jacket cover, Gary Busey's picture is two to three times larger than the actual stars of the film. I figure in the world of 'super size' and 'texas' bigger is better and more important. Well, apparently I was had because Gary Busey (who is credited as the star of the movie... or so it seemed) is a bit part and he NEVER COMES BACK. Gentle reader, please do not expose yourself to this example of capitalist crap. Instead, let me direct you to a much better film: House of the Dead.House of the Dead is based off the Arcade Game of the same name (yes, the one we all spent our allowance in at Aladdin's Castle). At any rate, there are zombies (which make much better villains than Jeremiah any day), guns, fake raves, the Puget Sound, and Jürgen Prochnow. The best part of the movie is that it advertises Jürgen Prochnow (yes, THE Jürgen Prochnow from Das Boot) and Jürgen makes the movie worth watching. Also, hes in the flick for a decent amount of time, esp. for a bit part.Love, Matt

This one of a kind, brilliant horror movie starring Mario Lopez, Tracy Scoggins and Gary Busey will scare the bejesus out of you. A group of hikers happens upon a seemingly deserted cabin out in woods. Little do they know the unthinkable awaits them. A deranged and isolated man, Jeremiah, who's last contact with civilization came 33 years ago, sees them, stalks them, and... And there's the greatest scene with Gary Busey in which he plays a country bumpkin who's a few cans short of a twelver. Gives new meaning to the term "chickenhead." Think Hannibal Lecter, if you know what I'm saying.Don't wait to see this orgasmically exciting and wonderfully horrific movie! That is, if you dare.
