I think the poor reviews of this movie are unfounded. The movie was more of a classic gore / horror, and pretty well done in that respect. The gore scenes were very well done I thought, fairly realistic looking actually which made it pretty disturbing. The main villain was terrifying. The mask was well made and quite scary.The bad parts? The acting was okay, but not great. Definitely a B rate performance. Secondly the story had a lot to be desired and was disappointing because it had so much potential to be a pretty good movie. There are plot holes everywhere, and the ending made little to no sense. But if you can look past that and just enjoy the gore fest, it's a pretty good movie.

Couldn't be worse. There's no story, just a try for fryday 13th. Awful directing, awful acting, awful conversations, awful visual effects, where in every kill there's a close-up, so you don't really see the stuff happening. Someone gets beaten up, no broken noses, no broken teeths, nothing is broken. Lot's of syrups and no point. It's just a bit sh*t with some cool music effects. That's all. I couldn't even watch the last 10 minutes because i was forcing myself to watch it about 30 minutes before the ending. If you like bad movies, where there's only syrup flying around, then go for, this is your movie. If you like movies that, at least, make any sense, then keep searching. You won't find it here.

Firstly, I have to say that I had a great time watching this movie but that's probably because I love those kinds of movies. The Redwood Massacre is a (really) low budget film with lots and lots of blood and features a serial killer hunting down a group of campers. Its plot is just that simple.Lets start with the good points of the film, and at this point I have to say that I just loved the scenery shown in the movie as well as the inside of the Redwood house. They were really great and the costumes were well-made too. I also liked the variety of the murder scenes and the variety of weapons-tools the killer used. There was a lot action and killings throughout the film so in that aspect you won't easily get bored.On the other hand, The Redwood Massacre has lots of flaws too. Most of the cast are doing a mediocre job at best but that can't be helped because of the low budget. I enjoyed the death scenes a lot but some of them weren't that well-thought and they really overdid it with the blood. So even though the death scenes are visually enjoyable and bloody(if you like that style) some of them seem unnatural. Also, the quality of the movie drastically drops after the one hour mark. The last 30 minutes of the movie are nowhere as good as the rest of it. Last but not least, in this movie you will find one of the most unnecessary and stupid side-characters found in a movie ever(I won't spoil details so just watch it and see for yourself).I will give this movie a 6 because I myself liked it and as an appreciation of the effort made in a low budget movie but an objective review would be lower.My advice; watch it if you like bloody slashers but don't expect much of a plot or something "new" or avoid it if you prefer more serious horror films, you won't find that here.

*******SPOILER ALERT - THIS FILM IS SH*TE*******I must admit that I thought I might rather enjoy this movie when it started - given the hammy acting, loud eerie music over every scene and desperate lack of anything you could conceivably call a plot, I thought this might be a decent parody. Believe it or not, this isn't a parody.Quick summary of the 'plot' - a whole bunch of Scottish people get chibbed in the woods by - wooo, spooky! - some c*nt with a sack on his head. At no point is any attempt made to discuss or uncover this individual's motivation, what drives him to kill, or why he has a cock in a jar back at his murder shack - unless you count the brief mention that he's an "evil farmer" (of course!). If you want a chuckle, skip to the laughably absurd storytelling scene where we see a flashback to Jethro butchering his surprisingly obliging family - a particularly awful piece of acting that makes "Xena the Warrior Princess" look as real as "The Wire", and yet another reason why the whole film should have been made a comedy. In my opinion a great opportunity was missed by not including the line "Can I Axe you a question?".As it stands, the only way anyone could see this absolute dross as any kind of achievement is if it was done for a school project. In fact, I strongly suspect that the individual who rated this 10/10 may in fact be the directors mum. Please, stop deluding yourselves that "British film" has to mean "crap film". Watch the b*llocks origin story for a laugh then turn this off and get on with your life.If you thought the acting in your school drama class was a real cultural experience and your enjoy gallons of red paint and plot holes the size of the ginger chick's eyebrows, then this is for you.
