A 1980s slasher film that traps a group of young campers in a forest with a territorial killer, trading psychological depth for survival-horror mechanics and body-count tension.

A group of friends head out for what is expected to be a vacation of hiking, camping and a good time, but when a backwoods mama finds them on her turf, it becomes anything but a vacation.
