A group of photographers crusing in the desert and stumble on an old ghost town in which they decide to do some photography there. Yet, it's not abandoned in which a group of psychopaths reside there.

The beginning of this flick looked quite fair with distant camera shots on the deserted area of canyons and so fourth.
The scene involved a lesbian couple Raquel and June going on a cruise and stopping where the ghost town is along with a cave that they explore in which this of course isn't a good idea since situations like this in a horror film will be terrifying.
Things are still which was supposed to leave a chill down your spine but it doesn't seem to work in my mind but then the terror starts eventually which isn't intense like it was meant to be which includes a masked maniac holding a chainsaw in the air. Ho hum!
Next up a group pf friends visit the ghost town and so sourth in a van and having a good time. In fact one of them named Adam talks to his friend Roxy about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre about it being based on a true story in which the events happened as to where they are right now. This was an attention grabber but it wasn't effective at all..
While there are cheesy discussions and so fourth the original character Raquel is chained up as she is screaming but it needed imporvement to make it seem more convincing within what is happening during this moment. However, there's a concentrated moment with a transvestite Daisy putting on make up and so fourth as well as getting demanding towards her in which I must admit this looked truly forceful.
She asks to see her lover in which this isn't a good idea but then Daisy reveals as to what he's wearing as this looked gruesome and insane which is another good pointer for a horror flick such as this one.
Raquel struggles to find a way to unchain herself when no one is around in which this looked carefully focused within each step on what she does here. Within all of this it made me watch carefully wondering if she will manahe to escape or not. I had a feeling that she wouldn't go far since in the beginning of most horror flicks that is not the case at all.
While the group of friends discover the ghost town they are greeted by a mysterious and friendly woman Mama Birdy as I got a feeling that she's one of them. This looked well done by having a cringing feeling that these people will be the next victims to the maniacs that reside there.
Some stupid and cornballish moments like someone using an outhouse and discovering porn pics plastered everywhere along wiht him sticking his cock out of a hole. Boy a painful moment happens when he does this which isn't for anyone who can't handle painful situations such as this one.
Another stupid moment is when someone tries to use a dresser from the chainsaw killer and he cuts through the object and Roxy is underneath this object. Yet what is clever there's a different twist involving the friends being a part of these maniacs as I found this to be one of the moments by saving this flick from bombing.
However, it gets stupid again when this chainsaw maniac and a woman having a good romp when Roxy is sobbing underneath this dresser. This was not necessary to put into the story in which it was stupid and pointless.
A cult ceremony at the church of the ghost town happens with one of the survivors as this looked stale while watching all of this coming together and easily forgettable as it needed a bit more inspiration.
Some of the vengeful moments looked shocking and would please gorehounds big time but we've seen alot of this in other horror flicks so it's nothing original within the outcome here.
Botttom line is that this flick was made on a decent low budget in which it pays a tribute to both TCM and Hills Have Eyes. Yet it's a ripoff on both flicks as the story is uninspired and unoriginal. I got bored watching this one come together. However, I've seen worst indie flicks in which the makers tried their best to offer something entertaining in the slasher genre.

The acting is a little melodramatic and at times wooden and over the top. But not overly terrible. Certain one's were only worth mentioning.
Adriane McLean (Roxy) is probably one of the best out of the cast in which she offers some nice outgoing and spunky attiude. Really has a great adrenaline of energy into her role and knew on how to act emotionally scared when the terror hits her. She was for sure a character actress.
Sarah French (Sunshine) offered some sharp moments when she is having a discussion or delivering her lines in a fashionable mode. Yet there's a scene when she freaks out and acting terrified which looked incredibly wooden. However when she gets cold in her speaking in other parts of her performance it seems to work in quite well.
Gigi Gustin (Raquel) was however really over the top in her part of the flick. When she screams or cries it's not natural at all. It seems that she is forced to behave this way instead of acting naturally. No gold star here.
Jed Rowen (Daisy) who is often a bad actor and in worst budget films I must admit has come a long way by performing in this role. He proved that he can be a natural as a demented transvestite. Does well with his insane and demanding speaking towards a victim as well as doing an okay job by getting aggressive too.
Dazelle Yvette (Mama Birdy) I do admit coming across as believably mysterious as a gypsy like type of persona. She for sure acting deceivingly warm and charming at first. Does well by coming actoss as untrusting when the horror is about to come into the story.
Ben Kaplan (Adam) seemed to bring on a charming attiude as well as acting convincingly oputgoing by what he did here. He seemed to study this tole fairly well. My only criticism is that he didn't have the right looks for this part.
Robert Felsted Jr. (Charlie) did come across as really dorky and a total goofball. Has the right looks and motive for this role. Yet he sometimes acts too over the top whenever he acts this way. Yet is very presentable in what he did and can be well remembered.

Woman is fully nude lying near an object in a cave.

A fully breasted body is used as an outfit for a transvestite.
Remains of a body is revealed along with the insides the killers are playing around with.
Someone is butchered with a chainsaw.
Guys dick is drilled.
Heads are chopped off.

Klaus Pfreundner composes this piece as there's effective metal scraping and screechings. Plus some hissing sounds along with suspenseful fast paced synthesizer music for the terrors. A little bit of low gloomy sounds and grungy noises. All of this sounded fair but not too memorable at the same time.
