Unlike America's first environmental awakening 20 years ago, touched off in 1970 by the vast bucolic gambol of the first Earth Day, this one is not defined by young idealists in ponytails and Birkenstocks.

But this time, as they gambol through the woods whose mean paths he endlessly stalks, the sundry sharp and blunt instruments that are always ready to his hand come at them and the audience with a certain vivid super-reality. It is all so gruesome that horror turns to humor and the fun comes from the appreciation of being cleverly conned by Director Steve Miner...
