This is a pretty standard plot. Several young people are stranded out in the middle of nowhere in West Virginia after a car accident.
They stumble upon a horror they find hard to accept at first. They are hunted by a family of inbred cannibals who have been living off of people they have captured thru the years.
Eliza Dushku makes for a very sexy heroine, and I have to admit I first saw this film because of her and her alone. There are some disturbing scenes in this film, especially when you know these killers have eaten children.
This was a very successful film and has so far spawned 5 sequels, none of which I have seen and I have no intention of seeing them.
If you like early turn of the century horror films (sounds so weird saying that) this is a good place to start. I would call this film a "Deliverence" on steroids, and the Stan Winston make-up is terrifyingly wonderful.
All I can say is check it out if you haven't already. I am assuming most of you have over the years. Did I mention Eliza Dushku is in it?
Oh Quartermass, if you liked this one you need to watch part 2. Even though it was DTV it is almost on par with this one but sadly no Dushku. Give it a spin.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I will give it a try my friend.
