Two American tourists named Mark (Richard Grieco) and Amy (Chasey Lain) go on a camping trip to Ireland in the deep dark woods to have a romantic time together. However they are killed by a cannibal and eaten.
A few days later a group of American university students led by a woman named Karen Douglas (Bobbie Phillips) moves into a beautiful cottage in the woods where they are there to learn about the legend of the canniballistic cult family called the Druids along with other Celtic legends.
Rumor has it that some are still alive wandering in the forest.
A crazed local woodsman named Gary (Simon Peacock) tries to ward them off as his sister was killed and tries to tell them some of the Druids are still alive. However, the students don't listen and still do some exploring.
Two of the students wander off at night and go to an abandoned copper mine where the Druids remained and do some exploring only to be trapped and killed by an ancestor Druid. Then the Druids member slaughters and eats the other people living at the forest and one of the suriviors tries to find a way to survive and kill this monsterous maniac.

 

This was a ripoff to Scream and Hell Night but with some Violent Shit cannibalism and gore.
It looked promising and very mysterious even if it was made on a video budget.
It also promises to be a party teen horror flick but it ends off as very stupid, silly and perverted.
Well at least it was made on a descent low budget for a Canadian independent film trying to look like the movie is set in Ireland but the story was a waste of time.

The acting is okay with these actors as they worked hard in their roles. We also get a dozen of Canadian locals performing their stuff as best as they can.
We also have special appearances by porn stars such as Jenna Jameson who is very mysterious even if her role was very brief and it makes you wonder who she really is.
We even have retired porn queen Ginger Lynn Allen who seems to do not too bad at playing an Irish local but she seems like an American actress putting on an accent.
It's nice to see former 21 Jumpstreet TV star Richard Grieco doing a bit of acting work again but his scene is only during the beginning of the film yet his role seems very effective and memorable for this film.
Canadian local Simon Peacock seems convincing as a disturbed woodsman and is believeable at being an Irishman too so hands up for him.
Lead actress Bobbie Phillips is the best with her role and has alot of character in her role too.

During the very beginning of this film porn icon Chasey Lain is fornicating with Grieco's character in a tent full breasts revealed and a brief butt shot
Porn queen Jenna Jameson's top is ripped off with breasts fully exposed before being gutted alive in the cave of the mine shaft
We have a full naked body of other porn actress Taylor Hayes is full nude and bloody too in a cave of the mine shaft.
Ginger Lynn keeps her clothes on throughout her special appearance/supporting role.

Lots of perverted gore as alot seems to be borrowed heavily from and Andreas Schnaas German flick.
We have guts, intestines and hearts being pulled out
Body pieces on a roast
Decapitations
People being sliced and diced
An inborn child being ripped out (How gross)
A knife through a teens head
Plenty of blood too

Well Christian Veil seems to get the film going with the story at first and coaches everyone veery well aplus great shots with the people in the dark gloomy woods but then it gets ridiculous when the events are revealed.
He does show some good fighting sequences with Ginger Lynn Allen after she's attacked by Lael Stellick's character however.
He also directed Simon Peacock very well too with his part as the typical crazed person in a horror film trying to ward off people warning the dangers there.
During the very end it looks very effective too.

The music by Alex Khaskin seems to stand out well with it's low budget synthesizer but it's not Z-grade sounding thank goodness as he puts the pieces together well.

Barbara: You guys are really starting to give me the creeps. You sound like some Ted Raimi flick or something.

Gary: Tell the kids to stick to the path. Bad things happen when you stray from the path!
