About a group of teens who collide with their town's dark past when a prank gone wrong makes them the target of a family of bloodthirsty killers.Another reviewer said it seems like the creators of this movie saw "Wrong Turn", "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" and "House of 1000 Corpses". I agree. While the idea of murderous hillbillies has been used over and over again (more often than not in boring, repetitive ways), this seems even more derivative and uninspired. The one hillbilly is such an Otis / Bill Moseley wannabe that I cannot imagine it was an accident.The strange thing is that this film seems (based on what I see online) to be the pilot for a series that never happened. This is a terrible idea for a series, so I am glad that never worked out. If you cannot even make 80 minutes work, I have no interest in seeing the same characters week after week.I do not even want to waste brainpower writing anything more.

Nobody stands out too much but they all do a decent enough job to keep you watching. There are a number of annoying camera angles that I guess are supposed to disguise the fact that they didn't have an effects budget, but it doesn't work. Also, they have one character doing all her scenes to a web cam and this really ends up being for absolutely no reason whatsoever, except possibly in an attempt to make the film seem more modern. In the end though, it's just rehash.

Having some attractive women in the movie sure didn't hurt and helped us make it all the way to the end. The acting was fine, the storyline could have used some work. I think the the main problem was that it was predictable and it didn't have the camera effects that we are used to with most movies now. I'm pretty easily amused, but I don't think I'll watch the movie again. Yet, I have to say that I don't hate myself for watching it.Hopefully we'll see more from this team and these actors and they can show us what they are capable of.
