Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The idea is not bad but too much free violence without sense in children context. Other problems: there is no educative purpose: children with porn magazines, scout heads that maltreat the child crew which should to be educated instead to receive insults and maltreatment, and the famous monster impersonates by an unknown child aggregate to the real monster that is a serial killer without any sense without a story, without an origin, that collects victims which none search for: no police investigation a free camp where to be killed. So where director and writer made the big error: the underage context. There is no excuse. The logical question is how a place so murdered, could be free to visit? That's absurd. "So if you want to make a movie only to make a movie don't waste time and don't spread questionable events concerning children." This is the story of Jason in the underage context but the result is mediocre because the message is very perverted for children.

This is very well written horror movie. It is a nice surprise, a good horror movie coming from Belgium. When you look at complete genre of horror movies, there are a few better movies, this movie will keep you interested, and ending will sure surprise you. Movie is set in the woods, group of kids goes camping there, and that's when the horror starts.Overall, I give it 8 compared to other horror movies, and 7 as movie compared to movies from all other genres.

I'm surprised at how low the score is, this film deserves to be in the six's. We are at a point where horror movies are just a waste of time. No real scares or thrills. The only pleasure I get from contemporary horror is making fun how bad they are. Needless to say, Modern American Horror is in a huge rut right now. Which is why I found this film refreshing, and think that American cinema needs to take some notes. This film is by no means perfect, but it is at least entertaining. I found it to have some good acting, decent writing, and it builds tension and suspense very well. In most horror films today, I find myself not caring about any of the characters. They are so wooden and bland that when they die I'm neither cheering or grieving for them. This film actually gives me characters that I both hate and care for. You got characters that make you angry, and characters that you can relate to. As far as filmmakers making horror movies like Paranormal Activity and Ouija...where the hell is that in your films. But I won't bash those films anymore in this review. I liked this film. I didn't love it, but I respect it. It caught my interest, made me invested, gave me moments that had me on the edge of the seat. Overall, it's pretty good. Not a film you must see, but a film that will do its job and entertain you for an hour and a half.

Straight out of Belgium comes a little horror movie called 'Welp', otherwise known as 'Cub' here in North America. 'Cub' is a true return to the horror-slasher genre. I've never seen a slasher movie so brutal before. Usually, we see some form of jerk- off teenagers who plan a weekend vacation to get stoned, have sex, and drink like fishes. Then some supernatural force usually comes back to life or out from hiding to off each victim one by one in some gruesome fashion.It's a strong premise that has been duplicated thousands of times over in different settings and venues, and has made the Hollywood box office billions of dollars. But with this Belgium breath of fresh air, it's much deeper and smarter than the rest of them, and is quite disturbing with one hell of a backstory that keeps you guessing all the way up until the final moments of the film. 'Cub' follows a cub scout troop, ironically enough, full of not-quite yet teenagers and their three scout leaders. Two of the three scout leaders are young men in their 20s with the third being a female. The leaders run their scout troop like a military boot camp, but have a bit more fun.The troop is headed out to a weekend camping trip to the woods when one of the campers named Sam starts to notice some creepy things lurking out in the woods, after he learns the scary campfire tale of 'Kai'. Well it turns out that the legend of 'Kai' is much more real than anyone would like to believe. And not just real, but extremely violent and brutal, as this legend has set up elaborate traps throughout these woods to kill people who intrude on their space. It's never explained as to why this is happening, but we know that their is a deep dark past with this killer, which shows full on when people and animals start to be brutally murdered.It has a few of the usual genre tropes thrown in, but somehow here it feels fresh as the director uses his camera to show only what is needed and then surprises us moments later with a 180 degree turn. But what really shines here are the kid actors. Specifically Sam and a 'Kai'. Their creepy body language and understanding of all these adult themes are flawless.You'd think these kids were all adults with how they use their facial expressions to show their fear. 'Cub' is truly a remarkable and horrific film, and one that I can't wait to watch again.
