The Hike (2011) – Rupert Bryan.

A high-spirited girly weekend romp in the countryside becomes a grisly fight for survival in Rupert Bryan's enjoyably mean-spirited backwoods Brit-slasher. This low budget, decidedly feral femme-led fright flick cuts to the chase with pleasing alacrity, as these metropolitan lovelies are swifty stalked, stripped and summarily slashed, with only their tough ex-soldier companion Kate(Zara Phythian)to protect them. Those seeking originality, might better seek a back road less travelled, but The Hike generously delivers some bloodily bucolic Last Grouse on The left I Spit on Your Cave B-splatter goodness! Like some boisterous Video Nasty pantomime, the boorish baddies are eminently hissable, and only the palpably sociopathic won't be rooting for the gruesomely beleaguered, heroically hard-hitting heroine Kate. I dug it, many didn't, their phooken loss, mayte. High point, horny honey's getting their heinies hacked, downer, Tamer Hassan has a very small part!
