- A guy on a mountain bike stalks five students, murders them and eats their brains. They say its safe, healthy and fun to hill walk in Scotland, but they don't tell you when there is a cannibal on the loose. Fiction? Is it? Not so for Isla Peterson and Pearl Johnson, two final year students when they meet Brendan, the campus cannibal. Shot in the rugged mountain pass of Glencoe in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, the serenity and beauty of the wild open landscape is a hunting ground and an easy killing field for the twisted Brendan, who only has one thing on his mind - eating the girls' brains.—Robbie Moffat
- A group of university students decide to go hill walking just before finals but are completely unaware that there is a dangerous psychopath on the loose, despite the fact that a female student was murdered on campus. They break up into small groups and as this killer has a mountain bike, he is able to move quickly and hunt down fresh victims after each bloody kill, as he strikes them in the head with an ice axe with a curved pointed pick, which results in a great loss of blood. A couple of his victims encounter this maniac prior to their being murdered, but nobody seems to have noticed the wanted posters posted by the local police with his photo on them that say that he is wanted for questioning in connection with a murder. The fact that they are all students, seems to indicate some underlying resentment on his part, but his motive for these killings and his true nature are only revealed at the end of the film. Since the film is acted as a straight drama, it is clearly not intended to be a spoof on horror films featuring insane killers armed with deadly implements.
The performances by the actors are well executed but there is no attempt to give each and every one of them a detailed background story, which allows most of the attention to be focused on the killer and his compulsion to mount a bloody killing spree despite the fact that he knows the police are still searching for him. A moderately scary horror tale with none of the clichés so abundant in the majority of low-budget shockers.
