When seven teenaged friends return from a weekend camping trip deep in the wilderness, they discover that a foreign army has invaded their town, with all the town’s residents having been interned, and set about transforming themselves from innocent kids to ruthless guerrilla fighters, in this overblown, clichéd, and decidedly inane action film, which has little but the odd moment of humour to recommend it.
