Reasonably entertaining no-budget slasher set in the sticks of Wisconsin
RELEASED TO VIDEO IN 2007 and directed/written by Donn Kennedy, “Backwoods Bloodbath” (subtitled “The Curse of the Black Hodag”) chronicles events when six college youths from Milwaukee take a Fall vacation to the Black Forest in Oneida County, Northern Wisconsin, but are unaware that the area’s cursed by a half-human, half-creature called the Hodag.This is an independent slasher flick in the mold of the Friday the 13th sequels, but hampered by a budget of somewhere around $10,000-$50,000 and the typical problems that come with micro-budget fare: bad acting, sometimes bad sound, hand-held cameras, dubious editing, etc. However, if you can handle these kinds of limitations and roll with it rather than against it, “Backwoods Bloodbath” delivers the goods in several respects. For one, the movie has a sense of humor and I busted out laughing several times (e.g. “You guys aren’t FIBs?” and the following textual note).
Secondly, the movie delivers with a few quality females, starting with the barn brunette in the prologue and, about 25 minutes later, a tent-camping girl in red bikini-shorts, which is just a cameo. The main protagonist, Jessica, is pretty decent as well. Personally, I could do without the flashes of nudity though.
Thirdly, there’s a lot of fairly convincing gore; and sometimes so much that it’s laughable (not that I’m into gore, I’m just pointing out that it’s done very well for a no-budget flick). Fourthly, the script throws in a surprise in the last act, which I won’t give away. Fifthly, there are several quality cuts on the soundtrack by presumably local artists, like “Whiskey Morning” by 8 Hours of Violence (see the “Soundtracks” credits on IMDb for more info).
Sixth, the director/writer knows how to make a movie, as far as camera angles, editing, music, flow, etc. go. Sure, you can harp on this or that (which is easy to do with a no-budget flick), but the movie accomplishes its goal, it’s entertaining and entertainment is the name of the game. For comparison, my wife & I saw a no-budget horror flick recently that cost less than $10,000 and it totally siphoned from beginning to end, lacking all the six positives noted above (!).
On the downside (beyond the typical issues with these kinds of independent productions), the movie’s overlong by about ten minutes, with a useless epilogue/montage tacked on, there’s too much juvenile crudity (although some of it’s amusing) and the second half doesn’t generate enough suspense. Nevertheless, if you don’t mind independent flicks with miniscule non-budgets, “Backwoods Bloodbath” is worth checking out for the highlights noted above.
THE MOVIE RUNS 89 minutes and was shot in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, with additional stuff done in Brookfield and Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.
GRADE: C- (but C+/B- for overall entertainment value)
Backwoods Bloodbath: Curse of the Cornerback??
Well for starters this movie has it all. Blood, gore, tits, and a Hodag, aka R. Sherman, that runs a 40yd in 4.5secs. The movie starts out with a major gore scene and a fantastic actress who plays the barn girl very well. The exceptional costume design has me wondering how they picked the comedic hats that adorn many of the characters. For example: “The Brent’s” hat says — “Eatin’ ain’t Cheatin'” Brilliant. Where can I buy one? I thought the movie was very open sexually speaking. I particularly loved the scene with the forbidden syrup play. Also the random inserted still scenes of breasts to include the single one. That one was a deal sealer for the movie in my opinion. They even had a hick-hunter gay couple, that was a hidden plot twist. A major goof was how the manure plant was only 4 miles away, yet the Hodag, aka Seattle Seahawks superstar corner-back R. Sherman fifth round pick out of Stan Uni., had a smell overwhelmed at a distance of 5 feet. The most curious thing I discovered while watching this gore-fest was the Becky’s OUTRAGEOUS EYEBROWS OF DESTINY. They seemed to grow throughout the movie, getting longer, and longer, and eventually to her lip I believe. Why did she do that? I may never know. Continuing… The way they captured Richard’s shear athletic talent was absolutely enjoyable and superb. Cooper’s ability to ignore all things around except for beer, brats, and the “State” game (possibly a Stanford game??) is the most dynamic concept for this character. The scene where Paul is rubbing one out and no one cares when he comes back to the table, I thought this was pure genius as I can relate. As for the soundtrack that illustrated the overall flow of the movie I was hoping to get a copy of the OST one day. But for now it helps night shift at work go quickly. Favorite Quote — “Take a queue from my dick and go long.” – The Brent.
