The girls arrive first, head inside to get food ,and are met with stony stares and silence from the town folk. The only friendly face is a teenage waitress who warns them not to go to Fever Lake because bad things happen there, what with the murders and the men whose eyes glow.
Meanwhile the whitest Native American in the land tells the Sheriff that evil is coming, but the Sheriff can't be bothered with that type of nonsense.
Cars die and later start working again, wolves wander through wooded areas while the characters fleeing in obviously different locations, and our friendly waitress dies... somehow. It's a bit vague since all we see is her flailing around in an old campfire pit and a little bit of blood on her face.
When I saw the stupid looking face on the cover, I had no interest in watching this. Then I noticed Corey Haim's name, and was surprised that he'd done a horror movie. There's a lot of talking in this movie, but not a lot of killing. The kids do stupid things and the outcast girl is the stupidest of all. It doesn't really have any momentum to keep it going, and the last shot of Corey is not the big twist you can tell they thought it was.
