A young black man borrows his uncle's cabin near Lake Arrowhead for a birthday gathering. The group of young people party but soon they are disappearing one by one. The captured ones are being tortured by a mad man who is cutting up his victims. The sheriff is unwilling to talk about an incident from three years earlier.
This is a horror in the vein of Turistas which was released a year earlier. It's interesting to see black cinema trying to copy a horror genre. In this case, the white folks are the first to die and that's a fun little twist on the convention. The torture is gross. It is what it is. It's torture porn. The acting is not that great but it's fine. The girls scream. I am surprised that the sheriff isn't a racist redneck. I'm glad that this movie is willing to play against some conventions but it can't escape other conventions. Then there is little white girl. It would be fine if some kind of ground work is laid down for that turn. The movie doesn't do that and it suffers.
