Synopsis by Linda Rasmussen
Backwoods, also released as The Geek, is a direct-to-cable slasher film, where a hillbilly farmer and his mentally-defective son terrorize a group of campers. Directed by Dean Crow, and filmed entirely in Indiana on a tiny budget with a cast of unknowns, Backwoods is a routine, "gore" thriller with little new or different about it. Some of the effects are good, but the lack of a plausible story or interesting characters makes this mediocre less-than-average film poor viewing even for lovers of the genre.
