Captain Creepy's Crazy Cult Cinema - "The Reeds"

The Reeds - A group of friends in England take a weekend trip on a boating expedition. They travel through a reedy area of canals. Strange things begin to happen. A group of teenagers covered in blood are being stalked in the canals by a hooded stranger near the boaters. Then an accident happens with the boat and they are stuck. Will they get out? Will they survive? Who the Hell are these weird teens and why do they appear to be cannibals?

 The Reeds is one of the "After Dark Horrorfest 8 movies to die for" movies. Of course these are often a mixed bag, and this one was somewhat disappointing to me. After a strong start The Reeds begins to fade. The second half of the film isn't very good in my eyes. This is a decent, average movie with some creepy atmosphere that just couldn't stick the landing. The viewer goes through some twists and turns that end up sending them the wrong way down a one way street.
