A group of somewhat likable first-time offenders discover the American legend of Paul Bunyan is true and way more horrifying than folklore has us believing during some boot camp rehabilitation program in the Ohio wilderness. Along with the five young criminals looking to get out of jail time is a hard-ass corrections officer and a sheltered social worker looking to reform the kids with counseling instead of punishment. It all goes to shit when the giant shows up with murder on the brain after one of the dinks desecrates the grave of his beloved bull. People get squished, sliced in half, decapitated, dismembered and impaled as the giant goober dishes out vengeance. One of the girls is the spitting image of the gal Bunyan loved more than a century ago and therein may lie the key to the survival of the remaining delinquents. Her sheriff father is also in the area, trying to get to his daughter before the big ol’ dummy does. The green screen work brings about some serious giggles and the cgi is your usual SyFy channel awkwardness and it all makes for an enjoyably idiotic monstrous slasher flick. Dan fuckin’ Haggerty pops in to fortuitously take a shit while his logging camp is murdered by a deformed lumberjack with an axe. His bowel movement awards him some extra time on this earth before he meets the conveyer belt o’doom. Of course, Joe Estevez is a crazy old coot with a penchant for scenery chewing and silliness (so, Joe Estevez) and knows the true story behind Bunyan. Bewbs, blood, Babe the blue ox and beards all get their time in the spotlight along with unearned melodrama and a lot of screen time for the lumpy giant. No complaints here.
