This 1980s Canadian slasher flick has sentimental value to me since I remember it from back in the VHS rental days when it was a fairly new release. The best part of the film tales place before the opening credits even role. You get a rape and a revenge(thanks to some some very bitey canines) and then the main story focuses on a group of typical slasher movie victims-to-be who end up crashing on the island where our large retarded (and growly) man-monster lives(the product of the pre-credit rape scene if you couldn't guess). It's a surprisingly not-very gory(with the exclusion of the dogs chomping the rapist and one head squishing scene) experience and the crappy bootleg DVD I have of this is pretty dark and murky during many scenes(which is pretty reminiscent of how it looked on video tape) so maybe there's some added grue in the high-def version. There is an unrated version which apparently adds a bit of violence and more gratuitous shots of the raping. Very standard as far as slasher movies of the era go.
