Two campers Sharon and Teddy are terrorized in the deep dark woods of the California wilderness by a cannibalistic knife-wielding madman. Teddy is killed but Sharon manages to escape. That same night their boyfriends, Steve and Charlie, take refuge in an old cave to protect themselves from the storm. There they meet the killer an old man wearing a beat up old baseball cap named John. He tells them the story of how he walked in on his unfaithful wife and her lover. He killed them both, and gathered his two children and ran off into the forest. Unfortunately, his kids got sick and they commited suicide. Since then, he has developed a taste for human flesh and will kill anybody who trespasses on his territory. The next morning, Charlie is drowned and prepared for the killer's breakfast. He then goes looking for Sharon, who has, unbeknownst to him, teamed up with the ghosts of his two dead children. The maniac chases Sharon but just as he's about to kill her his ghost kids save her. He runs off into the wilderness to find the wounded Steve, who has broken his leg. Can Sharon save her boyfriend in time? Another movie i enjoy the hell out of.Not for everyone but definitely for me. 80's horror.I just love the cover art!Comments?

Man, you literally do own everything, ha ha. Half this shit is in my ever growing wishlist.
Anyways, the film has always sounded like a winner to me.

A little slow moving and a lack of gore for the time period, but it still does have it's 80's charm.
You'll be hard pressed for me to say I won't watch an 80's slasher.
Haven't seen this in a long time though. I'm gonna give it a watch in the next few weeks though. Thanks for bringing this movie up XN.

Sounds like one of those horrible 80s horror films shot on video Hey! Nuthin wrong with cheesy 80's horror shot on video. That happens to be my favorite genre. ;D

The Forest (1982) ReviewI made a pretty full review of this as my third review for Morehorror.com Of course this movie is BETTER than Final Terror, which is terrible and "Don't Go in the Woods Alone" which is the biggest waste of time I have ever watched. The Forest is way more watchable and interesting.
