Patrick's (Adam Lemieux) going to get married the very next day, so his
best friend and best man Teddy (Eric De Santis) has arranged a little
bachelor party - against Patrick's express wishes -, and gets him out into
the woods at Femur Creek for plenty of drinking and drugs with their best
friends - from back in high school - Kevin (Conall Pendergast) and Dave
(Brent Baird). Patrick doesn't feel it right from the beginning, as he has
long lost touch with Kevin and Dave, has left their high school
shenanigans long behind himself, and it's not exactly helping that both
Kevin and Dave are rathr depressed over their current state of affairs and
start whining after a little too much weed. And then Trinity (Cassidy
Lawson), the stripper Teddy has hired, throws up all over Patrick as she
has just found out she's pregnant, so this is pretty much the worst day of
Patrick's life ... and he doesn't even know yet that there's a masked
killer (John Migliore) roaming the woods who has already killed numerous
people including a hot hitchhiker (August Kyss), a pretentious filmmaker
(Seb Godin) and his actors (Gabrielle Forsey, David Kolenski), and a
clueless painter (Luke Meneok), and he's heading right for where our
heroes are camping ...
Now to claim Massacre at Femur Creek is an attempt to
re-invent the slasher genre would be a gross exaggeration, in fact it
moves well within genre confines and even seems to feel comfortable about
it. But that doesn't mean the film fan't also be fun, and Massacre at
Femur Creek is actually lots of fun, basically because it knows its
genre limitations and pokes fun at genre tropes - without ever going
moronic though and without giving up the film's horror roots for cheap
jokes. The other thing that makes Massacre at Femur Creek special
though is that it shows a lot of heart, something not usually found in
this kind of film, and this way makes its story relatable even to non
genre fans - and makes it a very enjoyable watch for that.
