Passable basement slasher.
A group of urbanites venture into the country for some rest and relaxation. But instead they find some vaguely hostile locals, a few harmless romps in the hay...and a mad killer wearing a garish rubber mask!
Rather by the book rural horror is somewhat hampered by the occasional flat performance, but does manage some decently odd touches.
Case in point: check out that way weird striptease/makeup/gay seduction/hatpin murder sequence).
The low key action lacks any real chutzpah until the last half hour when our psycho begins to get his freak on. With a good surprise ending that's made possible thanks to some clever & nimble editing from the opener.
Also known as The Upstate Murders.
