Two couples travel to the Everglades to stay at a deserted cabin owned by one of the men, Mike (Jerry Albert). They stop at a small gas station and meet the owner who refuses to help them get directions to the cabin.
He warns them about "Bloodstalkers" that roam the land at night. Of couse they think he is crazy and they finally find the cabin. As soon as night falls they are attacked by huge hairy monsters.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this movie and it kind of reminded me of "Shriek Of The Mutilated" in it's climax. All is not what it seems in this gory thriller directed by Robert W. Morgan.
The ending is very downbeat and it works oh so well. Robert W. Morgan is one of the worlds best known Bigfoot hunters and I think this made the movie even more bizarre.
The small cast really plays their parts well. The rest of the cast includes Ken Miller (who I first saw in the 1957 classic "I Was A Teenage Werewolf), Toni Crabtree, Cisse Cameron and Robert W. Morgan. The women in the movie are very easy on the eyes and do not act like anything but regular women, which is rare in horror films.
It was nice to see Ken Miller again as this brought back memories of the 1950's AIP monster movies I love so much. This is a very rare movie and sadly it isn't shown much, but if you get a chance, watch it. I think you'll like it. I saw VHS ads for this movie many, many years ago and I thought it was just another silly slasher film. Boy was I wrong.
