Don’t let the cover fool you, if you’re renting this for Danielle Harris give this a pass. She’s not in it long enough to qualify for second billing but got it. Eric Roberts is the main lead as I didn’t recognize any of the unfortunate campers in this. The acting isn’t great, the script is pretty weak, I only liked a few characters, and while a few of the kills worked pretty well, the rest of the film was just average. Not great, but highly mediocre.
