The plot is based around 6 lesbians camping in the woods for Susan's (Moynan King) birthday. 4 of which are her ex-girlfriends (sounds like a night in Candy Bar). Throughout the film, Susan's ex lovers get killed off individually. Yet the funny thing is no one seems to notice their friends don’t come back. Reason being, they are too busy getting it on with one another (like another night in Candy Bar).
The deaths are that of a non budget horror film, the blood is almost aluminous and sparse. The knives are obviously fake and rubber. And the death acting is just hilarious.
The ray of hope comes from Dawn (Hollace Starr) who is the only character you really feel anything for.
As a viewer I was questioning why these women are even friends, they obviously care nothing about each other, have no respect and are open with their dislike for each other. Except for Dawn...
The main actress Moynan King (Susan) doesn’t play a very convincing friend or psycho. She does however play a stereotypical butch lesbian well. To my surprise she has a few acting credits under her belt, But you wouldn’t guess from the dire performance in this film.
If you are looking for a Oscar winning story and acting... DON’T get this film.
If however you expect a cheesy, lesbian romp in the forest with a few nice boob shots and bad acting then this is the film for you! Its cheesy, fake, and funny because of how bad it is.
I however…won’t be watching this film any time soon. Where are all the good lesbian films???
