Lucifer's Angels (2014, Ricky McDonald)

For about the first half of "Lucifer's Angels" I thought it was pretty substandard indie-backwoods slasher tripe. I was pleased to find that it improved significantly within the final half to where I can safely say that it DOES turn into a worthwhile flick...

A group of buddies are out on a camping trip to drink and meet chicks (one of whom has this inane notion that there will be chicks just hanging out in the woods waiting for them and is actually confused to find that there are none...) when they come across a redneck father and son. The son offers up a 'disturbing' campfire story about some ultra-depraved inmates from a nearby mental asylum that may be roaming the woods. Turns out, they are...

There're some pretty big plot-holes and the acting and dialog is uncomfortably bad, though the way it came together in the end was pretty well done, I thought. Again, a little flawed and confusing in spots - regarding the relation of certain characters and what-not, but, for the most part, the execution of the last half DID work fairly well. It's well shot for such an obviously low-budget effort - the wooded setting lending a nice atmosphere thanks to some relatively competent cinematography - and there are also a few adequately violent murder/torture scenes. Overall, there's enough good elements to "Lucifer's Angels" to get past it faults, for the most part, making it a reasonably enjoyable horror flick.
