   A                  group of college kids decides to spend their                  spring break time off by camping in the great                  outdoors but yet this group of force which is a                  Gargoyle type of creature is coming through                  strange sound waves and attacks them and eats                  them alive as well as cloning their bodies in                  which they escape to an isolated farmhouse run by                  an older man named Jack Gorman (Kevin Shea) who                  experiences this monster as well and alltogether                  try to battle these monsters and think of a plan                  to kill them before they become their next meals.  
 
 The film was a bit hard to follow                  with alot of the excitment going on but yet it is                  very adventureous with lots of shocking and dark                  moments too making it very fun and entertaining.
 There's of course the great beginning with a                  female hitchiker appearing out of nowhere and                  then attacking the people in the vehicle which                  doesn't look pretty leaving the film off with a                  good impression.   The story is very quick                  paced by  in the beginning which  shows                  many good camera shots with with people  driving in their vehicle and                  having a rowdy conversation as well as a shot on a person acting                  expressionless standing in the middle of the road                  with their vehicle coming to a screeching stop                  and them looking shocked and concerned trying to                  talk to her. There's good shots on her in the                  vehicle attacking all of them which almost makes                  you jump.
 Then some interesting cheesy effects with one of                  the friends to the lad character's in the camping                  spot just acting expressionless and carving a                  sharp stick which makes the whole scene look like                  that something isn't normala and then havoc                  starts with gargoyle's nearby trying to attack.                  It almost looks like some possessions as well as                  creatures taking over people's bodies.
 There's a good aggression by one of the character's  after he discovers his tent is                  mangled and getting demanding towardshis friends with a good shot on him acting expressionless                  sitting down and carving a stick and then                  suddenly striking it through his head with a good                  throwing action along with fearful reactions on                  the others. There's many great camera takes on                  them running away in the woods and near some                  railroad tracks with good shocking reactions with                  what they discover.
 There's many good camera takes on an officer                  looking around for some clues on murder cases                  like in vehicles and struggling against these                  gargoyles in which this moment  definetely                  looks mysterious and creepy.
 There's good dark camera takes on Jack Gorman  looking for his dog and then having a good                  upsetting reaction along with a good shot on a                  gargoyle with him trying to run back to his house                  as well as using his gun on a gargoyles battling                  with it in his house which looked exciting and                  spooky to watch.
 Of course some of the surviviors still try to                  havre a fun time by flirting with one another                  which seemed a bit corny after experiencing their                  other friends being slaughtered or eaten alive by                  these monsters hours before. But again this seems                  common for a horror film with young people                  involved. In fact the surroundings here almost                  looked like a video game.
 There's scene's involving a character suddenly                  doing something like going itno a room and comi                  ng out of another door going into the same room                  which almost psychs you out wonder "Howd                  this happen???" Which of course was this                  gargoyle type of creature cloning this character                  in which you know something awful is about to                  happen.
 There's a good shot on Veronica  walking up                  some stairs to go into a bathroom as well as                  another shot on her entering from another doorway                  to go into a bedroom which makes you think                  "What the hell???".
 There's good shots on Julianna Bensley  walking up                  a ladder in a barn with a shot of her peeking up                  at the very top which makes you cringe that                  something is going to happen.
 There's many terrific camera takes with Rocker  blasting away his guitar trying to attract these                  creatures which looked highly entertaining on how                  this scene was directed.
 There's of course good settings in the forestry                  area and having cheesy thunder sounds and                  lightning effects which works very well for this                  film since there's this and more fun touches                  throughout the story including a moment with the                  lead male character playing his guitar to try and                  attract these creatures. The ending also leaves                  the door open for a sequel.
 Bottom line is this film almost looked like it                  borrowed certain elements off of Jeepers Creepers                  with these Gargoyle tpye of creature's attacking                  it's prey but yet it was a story of it's own in                  total. It doesn't have a powerful plot but the                  story is always exciting to watch with these                  people struggling from these deadly events which                  makes it a good film nonetheless. Plus there's                  great forest scenery showing the great outdoors                  as well as it looking creepy when it's nighttime. Check it out if you're a fan of Gargoyle movies.
 
 The acting is very fast paced but                  still well done and energetic in which lead                  actress Ashley Bates (Veronica) seems to come off                  very flirtatious and has the hot looks too. She                  also knew how to show anxious expressions as well                  as an outoging attitude. She brings alot onto the                  set and really knew her craft as an actress as                  well to knowing on how to portray her character. There's a great                  moment with her crawling up towards Walcott acting lustful and then getting into a rage by                  slashing someone. Kevin Shea (Jack Gorman) was a true character actor                  playing an old coot in the flick with his                  nseering and obnoxious behavior in the flick and                  knowing how to act physical when he needs to plus                  shows some great action while battling the                  gorgoyles with his shotgun too. There's a great raging action by him  getting aggressive towards a crazy old man in a bar which                  looked quite tense. He does well with his violent blocking by slamming someone against a wall and a great stern attitude on all this. Also shows great high paced energy while preapring weapons to battle with. He kinda reminded                  me of the characters Clu Gulager portrays in horror flicks.
 Kerry McGann (Julianna Bensley) had the best supporting role in                  the film as a woman officer really having a tough                  as nails attitude showing a great dynamic                  performance in her role really making her part                  adventureous. She knew how to battle these                  gargoyles and could portray a good character as a                  warrior type.
 Troy Walcott (Lake) shows great anxiety and some                  humor with his part in the film as well as                  getting hyper and aggressive too along with his raging and negative attitude. Also does well by struggling and yelling in pain when attacked in a certain scene. He seems to                  know what to do in each scene without letting his                  characteristics down at all. He made a nice key                  role to the story of the film due to his                  performance in it.

 There's                  some icy synthesizer violin sounnds with fast                  paced playing for alot of the scene's used in                  this film as well as some windy sound effects too                  with the odd thumps. There's also some good                  bluesy guitar and harmonica playing in the first                  bit of the film all composed by Matthew                  Llewellyn.                 |
