What always amazes me when I read non-professional reviews (and yes, I am non-professional, too) of B-movies is that they usually fall into one of two categories. The ones give it a complete bashing, complain about everything from acting to post-production, the others try hard to squeeze it into the somewhat outworn so-bad-it's-good category. A minority sometimes tries to regard them as hidden gems that are bound to become cult movies.Yes, cast was definitely overacting, possibly on purpose, I am not so sure about this. I am non-native in English but this sheriff character left me wondering if people in Texas really speak like this. And yes, the inbred family could have used better costumes and/or wigs, the plot could have been more coherent and logical and the sound could have been better, but hey, this is a low-budget horror movie of which species I have certainly witnessed worse specimens. The movie makers made sure it did not lack any of the stereotypical ingredients, some gore, some T & A (hot Davina Joy, who looked too good for the role) and not failing to throw in the odd corrupt small-town sheriff.I actually somewhat enjoyed this movie. It was certainly odd and would have benefited from a higher budget, but as low-budget slasher movies go it was watchable. Just don't expect a polished, coherent Hollywood production with a budget to cover all those flaws that my co-reviewers and me so ruthlessly point out.

Usually even the worst kind of films have SOME sort of redeeming feature, but this is just painful from go to woe. Special mention must go to the appalling acting which is mostly caricature and NOT in a humorous or clever way. It's just pathetic and completely embarrassing. The terrible direction which has no idea about pace and timing. The awful sound which is consistently flawed and technically amateur. And then there's the abysmal script which should never have been written in the first place. Honestly, I've seen some crap in my time, but this takes the damn cake.

This movie was absolutely a parody and an homage, and, as such, was very well done, I think.The acting perhaps lacks subtlety, but again, this is not meant to be your standard, dreadfully earnest spooker. If you're looking for a "serious" chiller, this isn't the movie for you.However, the cinematography is outstanding and the soundtrack is particularly topnotch. Additionally, Miss "Fancy" manages to be simultaneously spooky and tremendously erotic. Definitely recommendable for those looking for a lighter thriller to while away an hour and a half.

Money for 2 more weeks of edit/review time and post-production could have turned this into a horror classic. Great story line, even if a bit of a stretch, along with some very realistic nuances along the way bring it to life.As it is, it's basically the 2000s version of a B-movie. The audio is horrible and there are some scenes that are begging to be cut as the actors are basically left to ad-lib. A little time to step away and watch this again would have made this obvious while better post-production (or maybe just any) would have edited it out.What isn't hurt by the budget is the acting. They clearly found lots of unknown talent on the cheap. Too bad they couldn't find a wardrobe and sound person equally cheap.Hopefully, this film gets picked up by a bigger studio that gives it the attention it deserves. The writer and director definitely deserve another film with actual, skilled post-production people as much as this film deserves the same and an attempt to redistribute to theaters.
