Loony in the Woods
A camping trip seems like the perfect way for a group of friends to spend a vacation they will never forget. Unfortunately, no one will be left alive to remember the trip! Something lurks in these barren woods, something more insane than a chainsaw-wielding psycho, something more brutal than machete swinging mama's boy and more savage than a tribe of flesh-eating cannibals. There's a LOONY loose!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
I had just finished watching a terrible Troma satire on the same type of genre flick, "Decampitated", when I saw this one right after it on a Roku channel. I was surprised to see a very clever, imaginative, and most of all hilarious satire of the 'slasher in the woods' genre. Instead of using the painfully obvious humor of the Troma film and the sequels to the Scary Movie franchise, this film came up with a very original approach to satirizing this exhausted genre of film. The pathetic characters in the film are almost cartoonish in their appearance and line deliveries, but they never degenerate into the unimaginative stereotypes seen in most if not all US satires. The two brothers; one an unbelievably obnoxious ex-child star, dance/exercise instructor, and the other a Dudley Moore type of character who has lost his voice from an accident caused by his jerky older brother, and who must speak through a miserable electronic larynx, invented by his idiotic older brother, are hilarious. This film creates its own insane little world, and remains darkly hilarious up to the end. It turned out that it was made by the son of the great British film maker, Mike Leigh, and even had Alison Steadman in a cameo role.
