Demonwarp (1988)

Jack and his friends head to his uncle’s cabin in an area known as Demonwood Forrest. When they get to the cabin, a piece of plywood is where the door should be and the living room is trashed. What Jack hasn’t told anyone is his uncle disappeared after hearing about a Bigfoot attack at the cabin.

Shortly after they arrive, a man with a gun tells them to leave. This turns out to be Will, who was renting the cabin until Bigfoot broke in, beat him up and carried off his daughter.  Both Jack and Will want to know what is going on, while the other kids just want to party and scare their girlfriends.  It does not go well for any of them.

Arbitrary characters are thrown into the mix to provide more victims.  One is the nature photographer who has random body parts thrown at him while hiking and is not as distraught as you’d think.  Plus the two girls who drink and drive while heading to steal someone’s crop of pot plants. Why did they bring 2 bags of groceries? If you’re sneaking in to steal someone’s pot, you shouldn’t be planning a picnic. 

In case Bigfoot attacks aren’t odd enough, the movie ratchets up the weirdness with zombies and aliens.  The one thing going for it is it keeps getting more and more crazy. I saw this years ago, thought it was hilarious and loved it. But this time, I didn’t find it as interesting. It’s nonsensical but gets tedious as it goes along. 

Ridiculous dialogue

There’s no wildlife up here

A zombie in a UFO
Wearing bikinis and bringing bags of groceries into the
woods while planning to steal pot plants
This lock won’t keep Bigfoot out
So the aliens work with the zombies?
George Kennedy looking like a simpleton
in his yellow hat and overalls
The hilarious monkey mask prank does not
go over well in Bigfoot territory
Bigfoot is not amused
The inside of the alien ship with the human sacrifice
Love this zombie wearing a Meet the Residents t-shirt
