I think the Story of this movie is great! But the movie is a slow starter and one of those movies that you literally have to be stupid to put yourself in this situation. I barely finished it because i was so aggravated how stupid people were and all that just to make a movie? It is very rare nowadays where there is a movie that without a doubt in your mind you still think "Damn that could have happened to me too!" This movie the whole time has you like. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! Watch it yourself and see for your self. Just bare through it :)I would love to produce a movie or be a thought in making it. You would get that type of movie from my script that makes you feel helpless and full about your attempts to survive.

There is legend that the Jersey Devil lives in the titular woods. It came about after a woman had 13 children, but she offered up the 13th child to the Devil so she and her other children didn't have to leave their house. The Vineyard family are going to camp there so the father can release his father's ashes. But while there, they hear that someone has gone missing, and the father thinks it's the work of the Jersey Devil. They move camp site to get away from the rest of the campers only to find that they're in more trouble than they were before. Is the legend of the Jersey Devil real, or is it just another story.....I wanted to give this movie a chance, because the director knows how to deliver a slick horror movie, and the cast wasn't half bad.What I got was just another generic horror movie, where the main protagonist is assumed as being bonkers, but all his fears and rants are real, because hey, there goes that awful CG beast.Moyer is okay as the troubled lead, but toward the end, I was more concerned about wiping his eyes than the danger to him or his family. Supporting characters are just your typical fodder for the beast, and the little boy does the worst scared impression when he sees the decomposing dog.It's like a really watered down version of The Shining, minus the tension, the scares, and the plausibility.There is nothing to redeem this film, it looks cheap, and the cast look very disinterested.If I ever want to see anything about the Jersey Devil, I'll stick to that X-Files episode.On the plus side, its the best film ever made about rabies induced hallucinations.

No pun intended with that summary line. The movie really sets the bar above average and tries to give you a story you can hang on to. This may be from the guy who did 3 of the Saw movies (as director, he was involved in more than those prior to directing them), but that does not mean you get to see many violent scenes here. You will mostly witness the aftermath of something.It is important for the story that this happens like that. And we're back to the story department. Either you'll like where this is going (more psychological) or you will repelled by it. The main actor has to pull quite some weight. And I think he does a good job doing so. Mia Kirshner: I almost didn't recognize her. But she does more than a decent job in this too. The ending will once again split the audience. Those that remained and watched it through that is. Not perfect, but more than a solid effort
