Hellbent on finding and destroying anyone who is unfortunate enough to wander into his wilderness. When a group of college students decide to get away for a weekend, their party plans land them in Dark Shade Creek. But a weekend of fun soon descends into madness, and the teens find themselves in a downward spiral of terror, with almost no chance of escape.

Shocking absolutely shocking. What in the hell possessed you to make this film. Seems the writer liked lsd terrible
A bunch of ugly (with the exception of the blonde) non actors go for a fun weekend in the woods, despite warnings from the non actor locals to stay away, apparently there's a maniacal killer called Cyrus up there who doesn't take kindly to visitors! Zero marks for originality, but then that's something us slasher movies fans happily accept. The camerawork, sound, acting & script are all very poor and whilst the special effects look like they've been done by a school kid the body count at least is quite high, and old Cyrus is pretty creepy. There are two types of bad movies - those that are just painful to watch; and those that are so bad they are fun. In my opinion this falls into the latter category. Apparently this has somehow spawned 2 sequels & I shall certainly be looking to check them out.
This hyper low budget slasher flick tells the story of a redneck poisoned with pure LSD who lives out in the woods, broken minded and psychotic.The killer looks ridiculous, the deaths are pitiful and the level of entertainment on display is simply non-existent.The whole thing is so very disjointed and amateurish with a cast who have come from nothing and will go onto nothing.Dire stuffThe Good: It endedThe Bad: Looks dreadfulBad sound balancing in placesKiller looks terribleNo originality at all Things I Learnt From This Movie: A person who has slept with every boyfriend you've ever had would be referred to as a prude Upon learning that a potential killer is in their house a parents priority will be to get the babysitter out and not acknowledge the kids
***SPOILERS*** Going to spend the weekend in the wilds of rural Pennsylvania a group of young people get the surprise of their lives in running in to the the crazed and LSD brain damaged lumberjack Cyrus who's been hunting the woods around "Dark Shade Creek" for the last 40 or so years. It's when the vacationers, Emma Vanessa Paige Chuck Doug & Spank, got to the place that all hell broke loose! Not just for them but all those in the vicinity of "Shade Creek" who in fact warned that they to stay away from it! The usual slasher on the loose movie taking place in the wilds and unaccessible, by cell phone, woods of Pennsylvania has Cyrus, who by then must be well into his 70's, do the kind of job on his more or less helpless and not to bright victims as good as Michael Myers or Jason with hockey mask did in the "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" movies did on theirs. There's the usual and predictable heroic of the hero in the flick who we can spot as soon as he or she appears on the screen. As well as the not so surprising surprise ending but the film hold up and keeps the both tension and horror going for it almost its entire 90 minutes of screen time. That's far more here then you can expect from like wise horror/slasher movies that cost a lot more and are far more well known as "Dark Shade Creek" is.One fact about the movie is how well made it was despite it's microscopic budget of a measly pocket change amount of $500.00! That was just enough to buy a video or camcorder and a couple of DVD disks or video tapes to make it! Yet it's as good if not better then movies of that type that cost millions and had well known actors and actresses in them!
