There really isn't much to recommend about this movie. The writing, directing and most acting is just bad. So why give it even 4 stars? Three minor reasons:
ODD ELEMENTS. In some ways it is a normal slasher, cabin in the woods horror story but I found some parts just odd from the guy's bare apartment to the idea that the first date was to a cabin in the woods. I liked the dominant new girlfriend appeal. I found some of the mother's initial activities and comments interesting.
PLOT TWISTS. Some twists were broadcast well in advance and were expected but others were less expected. The double, or triple, plot twists in the last 15 minutes or so made all the predictable parts a little more tolerable.
JEWEL SHEPARD. I didn't know this actress who played Mother. (I've since looked up her bio and have seen movies she has been in but don't remember her from them.) So she was new to me and I found her character, while well over the top, enjoyable. I could actually see why others followed her. I felt she had the charisma that would draw other psychopaths into her group. It was also nice that she looked so normal. She wasn't either of horror's two stereotypes of the very attractive or very hideous villains. She was middle-aged and could easily have been someone's mother. It made her evil side seem a little different. And as she was almost my age, I felt her attractive even though I don't think I was supposed to.
I wouldn't pay to own or watch this movie but since it was on Youtube then I watched it and enjoyed it. I might even search out some older Jewel Shepard movies.
