~ It's a nice place to visit, but you WOULDN'T LIVE THERE! ~

Overview:

College student Regina comes back to her room from class one day to discover she's won a getaway vacation at the quiet Red Wolf Inn. Before she can even call her parents to let them know where she'll be, the lodge owners arrange her transport and she soon finds herself with two other young women as guests of a kindly old couple. The place is beautiful and the food is fantastic, but something just doesn't seem right. One of the guests has suddenly vanished, and the hosts are certainly reluctant to have anyone poking around the meat locker. Still, the barbecued ribs are delicious, so what's there to complain about?

Growing up in Canada in the 70's and 80's, my mom always told me I always had to clean my plate, because of all the children starving in other parts of the world, and of course this way of thinking was further imbedded in me from Roger Waters' saying I couldn't have dessert without eating all of my meat. Such underlying thoughts readily came to mind when watching the surreal dinner party scenes in the early stages of Regina's stay at Red Wolf Inn. I have to admit that I should have come across this before, but I had never previously come across it, and in fact hadn't seen any cannibalistic horror film until in my undergraduate days, when 'Silence of the Lambs' hit the theatres.

I really enjoyed watching this, though I wish it wasn't the made-for-television cut that's in my Mill Creek 'Nightmare Worlds' 50-pack. The three girls who were invited were gorgeous, 'Baby John' reminded me of a cross between a very young Robert Redford and 'Thelma and Louise'-era Brad Pitt, and even though the direction is uneven and it is a tad slow in spots, the big reveal with 20 minutes to go is very well-done, and the end sequence is one of the most enjoyable I have ever seen. Well worth your time if you like exploitation/horror/B-movies from the 70's, even in the slightest.
