Johnny (Josh Stewart) works as a middle man for his drug dealing uncle (Ronnie Gene Blevins) living in the outskirts of Cutter, Mississippi with his girlfriend Rosie (Alex Essoe). Troy (Bill Engvall) is his sole neighbor. Johnny and Rosie have made secret plans to leave town. Troy hints that he knows Johnny's business and has secrets of his own...and he does. After 50 minutes of character introduction we finally get into the meat of the film which is your basic abduction film...captured, escape, repeat.The movie opens with grainy film during the credits, which was clever considering the occupation of Troy which is kept secret for much of the feature. We are made to identify with Johnny the likable drug dealer as our protagonist, while a profile of Troy during this period would have been far more interesting. It is just about impossible to sneak around inside a small farmhouse that has three people in it...just saying. Decent soundtrack and acting.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I absolutely loved this movie. I was jumping out of my chair so many times with my heart racing. Granted one of my favorite movies is The Collector so it kind of makes sense. Josh Stewart was great as always. A surprise came with Bill Engvall. I knew the guy was funny, but he can also act, and he does a wonderful job in this as the creepy hillbilly. I just can't praise this movie enough. It was raw and terrifying. This is what I want out of a horror movie. Unfortunately I had never heard of it before until a review on Bloodbath and Beyond. Out of all the crap that comes out, this should have got more attention. I am so happy that I watched this and would recommend it to anyone. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Don't now if this is a spoiler or not but the only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because Bill should have realized the music downstairs had turned off. Other than that I thought it was perfect. Thank you guys for delivering a top notch horror movie.

Saw this on a pirated 50 rupees DVD. A very good thriller. Period. I saw the trailer on you tube while going thru horror movie trailers. I added it to my watchlist in my diary after knowing that Mark Dunstan (The collector 1 n 2) is the director n Josh Stewart is the lead actor. I m a big fan of these two. The movie is a lil slow in the beginning but the end result is very satisfying. One may say it's predictable but it is a straightforward basic thriller without the clichés found in most of the movies. No wasting time in chatting or dialogues, straight killing. "Ugly" from The Good, the bad n the ugly wud have been proud" for his no talk n shoot first. One more surprising thing in this movie was that the females were not shown as weak n stupid. Majority of the horror/thrillers got this stupid scene where after bashing the bad guy with jus one hit, the person starts chatting with the "tied up person" n instead of making sure that the bad guy is dead....... Glad that this movie doesn't hav that sorta stupid thing. The movie does hav lots of tension, suspense n brutal killings but no torture. Josh Stewart acted well. The guy is very likable inspite of his "dirty jobs". Very good direction by Dunstan. One of the best part was the background music. One may find it a lil similar to The Collector for its cat n mouse game, minus the traps. Good shot gun scenes. Good cinematography. Good editing. I hope they show more about the dirty job of the lead characters in the sequel.

** SPOILERS AHEAD**I didn't have much expectations about this movie, but I like Josh Stewart so I gave it a try. Okay, it's not the best movie ever, maybe even not in top 100 thriller movies, but I liked it! I think the storytelling was simple enough so it didn't became too "blood festive", but thrilling enough to keep my eyes on the screen the whole time. *the spoiler part starts here, be warned*I liked very much that at the end of this movie it was the girl who saved the hot male hero. There are too many movies where woman characters are there only to motivate the male hero to swoop towards some almost impossible rescue mission, always the ones to limp behind the male and be weak and protected. This movie started that way and OK, I would have still watched it, but it was so much better this way. Both of the main characters were strong and weak.
