The Great Dismal Swamp spans over a hundred thousand acres. Home to countless species, it is a place teeming with life& and death. For the top of the food chain lives in a dingy cabin deep in the heart of the swamp, and he has appetite for human flesh. "DISMAL" is an intense, heart-pounding dish served with a side of gore that every true horror fan must see. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Well, after reading all the enthusiastic reviews on IMDB, and after the excellent scene before the opening credits, I was truly convinced that the American indie scene would deliver a great horror surprise after a long time. Unfortunately, that feeling fades quickly, yet right when I was ready to trash it, Dismal pulls itself together and becomes a solid (though in no way remarkable) movie experience. By the end, however, it stumbles again and falls flat on its face. Why, for example, do they have to use an explosion when they clearly don’t have the resources to make it look realistic? Really, that ending felt very shoddy in all respects. The script, on the other hand, is shoddy throughout. It has only one twist and they repeat it twice, and it couldn’t be more predictable, though in hixploitation that’s not something that would make me want to slash my veins. I have it exactly between two and tree stars, I still need to ponder over the final verdict.
