Where
Ben
Stiller's
production
company
made
an
admirable
foray
into
the
horror
genre
with
The
Ruins,
unfortunately
his
contemporary
Adam
Sandler
didn't
fare
as
well
with
this
lukewarm
stab
at
it.
New
in
town,
a
boy
is
spurred
on
to
take
a
notorious
shortcut
from
school.
In
the
woods
he
finds
a
dead
dog
and
is
confronted
by
a
bad
tempered
old
man.
The
legend
soon
comes
to
the
fore
of
a
crazy
kid
who
killed
many
people
decades
back,
but
was
never
brought
to
book
-
still
living
in
the
woods.
The
kid's
older
brother
and
a
few
friends
decide
to
investigate
the
house
of
this
apparent
killer,
and
many
of
the
secrets
obscured
for
nearly
two
generations
tumble
out
of
the
closet.
This
is
an
okay
time-passer,
but
not
at
all
spectacular,
with
too
many
obvious
horror
recipes
screaming
at
the
audience.
As
with
most
movies
nowadays
(avoiding
strict
US
union
rules)
this
movie
was
shot
in
Canada.
