United Home Video put out a batch of regional shot on video horror films in the late 80s and depending on how you view them they can either be bottom of the barrel or a trash lovers delight.
Yes, what others say is true: the acting is bad, the story is bad, etc.
But Terror at Tenkiller also has a nostalgic warmth that is absent in say the Friday the 13th sequels. The languid pace, calm scenery, and down-home feel should take anyone who ever had a family cabin on a lake back to those summer days spent lounging about on the water. Maybe you had some friends you'd share stories and legends with. Maybe you spent some time working for extra cash. Maybe as you got older you began to look for girls in bikinis or guys in swim trunks. I know I did, and Tenkiller pulls me right back into those good old days and nights, only here the maniac that I would sometime imagine was hiding in the dark woods is real.
I'm sure many will scoff at this review, and as I said, most people will be bored to tears, but for those who enjoy regional oddities, Tenkiller will provide plenty of laughs, and hopefully the same nostalgia that it provides me.
