Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe only movie produced by Adam Sandler's production company "Happy Madison Productions" under the moniker "Scary Madison".
- GoofsIt is announced at the beginning of the film that the year is 1945, and there is a prominent banner for Hartley High School's Homecoming. A young man entering the Marines says he's going to be stationed in Germany, which is important because he has to "Stop the Nazis." Homecoming dances at USA high schools are in October or November, which means the dialogue takes place in October or November of 1945. Hitler committed suicide in April of 1945, and the Nazi party quickly dissolved. World War II was over by the time this conversation took place.

Featured review
"I'll get you and your little dog too"
Derek (Andrew Seeley) high school student hears of a legend where students have been unduly dispatched while taking a short cut that is naturally through the woods. He and his intrepid high school buddies decide to prove or disprove the rumor and at the same time stir up the alleged perpetrator or encourage his socially unacceptable hobby.
This is your standard run-of-the-mill slasher movie. While there aren't a lot of scantily clad teenage girls squeaking around in this one. Yet we all know what's going to happen; probably a few shots, a few cuts, some smashing things, spooky music, and whatnot. Yeah, there are the standard twists and turns and the obligatory surprise ending that never surprises anyone. For people that enjoy Gore for gore's sake, this might even be a five-star movie. For people looking at scantily clad female girls, this movie is a dud. For people looking at artistry balance and the structure of the movie itself, you will find it so-so.
Appropriately named movie.
