Crazy credits
Title card before end credits: "GEEK (gek) (<dial. geck, fool < Du. gek, madman, fool <MLowG. geck: orig. echoic of unintelligible cries) (Slang) a performer of grotesque or depraved acts in a carnival, etc., such as biting off the head of a live chicken."

Dean Crow's "Backwoods" is nothing special.The film itself is quite entertaining as it reminds me a little bit "Luther the Geek".Jack O'Hara,who plays William,is truly amazing as a drooling and bearded weirdo.He kills chickens by biting their heads off and goes mad on numerous occasions.The film offers plenty of female nudity and a little bit of gore.The action is rather slow-moving,but the climax is pretty suspenseful and memorable.So if you're a fan of low-budget horror give this one a look-just don't expect something scary or original.My rating:6 out of 10.Here are my other recommendations:"Just Before Dawn","Hunter's Blood","Blood Tracks","Blood Salvage" and "The Hills Have Eyes".
