Dismal (2009)

- written August 11th, 2011

Summary: Dana is failing Biology. To pass she must attend an extra credit assignment with several classmates that will lead them into a remote region of the Great Dismal Swamp, a place teeming with life... and death. While the group keeps one eye out for hungry bear, deadly snakes and lurking gators, they are unaware of the real danger. For the top of the food chain lives in a dingy cabin not too far from their campsite, and he has an appetite for human flesh.           Overall: On top of the bad CGI incorporated here, the film’s major failing is…it’s tiring to deal the redneck/woodsy/cannibal types. Been there, done that….this “gene” has been exhausted. Difficult to buy into this now…Sure, they all run around in undies and stuff but vey very shippable.           Comparison: Wrong Turn meets the Creature at Hillbilly Lagoon
