    I rented this because I remembered Mr. D reviewing it quite extensively. The problem was that I had forgotten that it was because he felt that it sucked so bad. Anyways…I had the time and watched the entire thing. Now I will say that this was not even a remotely well executed movie in ANY measurable way. The acting was bad…the premise…beaten…and the overall feeling that I came away with is….why bother. Of course the “why bother” factor is to make money and I completely agree that this was the full extent to the motivation of making this….and not for the repeat viewings as that won’t happen, but to sucker us in at the front end. Although I don’t think its the absolute worst movie (as there are so many greedy and fraudulent horror movies makers out there right now) …it is definitely not worth ever watching as there are so many better ones out there. I hope that Horrorfest gets their damn ass together. Wouldnt recommend this to anyone.

    I have to say I liked how the big brother guys ran after their victims instead of walking. Gave me chills. The beginning (concrete block) was probably the best part of the movie. Besides the 2 minute cheating scene! That ass got hung from a tree and deserved every minute of it! haaaa.

    Ok, yes this movie wasnt all the great but please, I have seen all of the 8films to die for and this was probaly the best one. The rest of them were so horrible, This one was horrible but yea the movie was kind of enjoyable once you get passed the cheesy lines and the pointlessness. I actually enjoyed this movie as there are sooo many more worse films.
    (Thats how you fuck family.) Was probaly the funniest thing i’ve ever heard I was literally laughing my ass off. There were only a few pretty girls in this film. And I liked the first to get killed =[
    I give this film a 5-10 because it was OK!

    Look, I like bad movies. But this… was just awful, boring, no good gore, not even good nudity. Yes making out with with the old mom was super hot, but no redeeming value otherwise. Best of the horrorfest movies? Not even close.

    It was bad, but it was an enjoyable bad. The kind that you watch with your friends and just have a blast with. For that, it gets points.

    If you like psychotic inbred families as much as I do, then you should rent this right away. I could see why some people hated it, but I just didn’t. Plus, I saw this after “Crazy Eights” at the Horrorfest, so in comparison this was good.

    One of the better movies of the series. Not particularly well acted, but a good story. Loved the villains of the story.

    This movie sucked ass. the acting in the movie sucks. This is one of the worst horrorfest movies I’ve ever seen. The blood is all fake and the killers are fuc?ing stupid. I paid to see this movie and it was a piece of crap.

    This was one of the worst films I have ever seen. I enjoy low budget, unheard of films and have to say that this is one of the worst yet, only to be surpassed by Nightmare Man, also from the horrorfest 2008. This film was painful to watch, the acting was awful, the script was just plain stupid. The best part of this movie is when the credits role because it was finally over! Don’t waste your time, stare at a wall its about as entertaining. I wish it could be rated lower than a 2!

    I really dont know why so many people thought this movie was so bad. The main actress was smokin hot, the gore was cool, especially in the beginning, and the setting was nice. Yea the whole motel by the lake deal has been beaten to death, but this was a fun rendition, and for what it was it was good, I liked it, definately one of the best this year.

    To say this movie is anywhere near great is just revealing to the world your rightful place as king of the idiots. Or queen, I s’pose; would hate to be sexist here.

    Not only is the film completely devoid of anything new or interesting, it just begs to be hated by the annoying cast and moronic killers. Right down to the cliche “OMG! the killer is still alive ending!”, this movie is just a bunch of cut and paste bull shit. This could’ve been an entry in the Texas Chainsaw series (though undoubtedly the worst).

    This and Nightmare Man vie for worst Horrorfest movie.

    This film is really underrated, yea it wasnt great but it wasnt as horrible as I thought it was gonna be despite all the bad reviews.

    The gore effects were cool even thought theyre wasnt alot and the story wasnt all that bad. The whole story kinda had elements from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wrong Turn and The Hills Have Eyes.

    It was just plain fun for me and I enjoyed it.

    Wheeew, man…. this was a DISASTER. I know 100% that I could make a funner and more believable horror movie then these guys with a $4000 budget. GUARANTEED. Seriously, dont waste your time with this one. Go see ‘Hatchet’ with Kane Hodder instead. – ZombieJasonVorhees

    Extremely stupid backwoods crap that desperately tries to be like “TCM”, “Wrong Turn” or “Hills Have Eyes” but ultimately ends up as bad as “Timber Falls” or “Gnaw”.
    Lame acting, a stereotyped plot, no tension, no atmosphere, no nothing. At least there are 2-3 nice kills and the soundtrack is ok.

    I avoided this film for a long time after reading all the negative reviews..

    I had a friend suggest it so I watched it online expecting a pretty shitty movie. The movie wasn’t half bad… certainly not the worst horrorfest entry that year.

    Sure it was predictable.. and follows the cliches we’ve all come to despise.. but I had fun while watching it.
