This is the most awful slash horror movie I have seen in my life. The plot is terrible and the acting is awful. This movie has tried to copy previous movies very badly. Don't waste your time and money. I wouldn't even rate it with 1 star.
Based on a horrifying true story, the promotional material tells us. A slasher film set in Scotland where a group of friends are commemorating the legendary Redwood Massacre by camping out in the locations of the murders. As you might imagine, the Scottish locations are gorgeous, a real highlight of the film.
This is a very enjoyable, fast-moving directing/writing horror film from David Ryan Keith who has rightfully won a series of awards. Ryan has made a run of genre films, including 2020's sequel, 'Redwood Massacre: Annihilation' (which I fully intend to see). Ghostly apparitions, missing bodies, well-drawn characters you actually care about, and most impressively a killer scarecrow. Scarecrows seem tailor-made for horror films - lonesome, soulless mannequins who stand in solitary splendour - but are often used so ineffectively. Luckily that isn't the case here. My score is 8 out of 10.
