Movie Summary:

            A newly wed couple from the city has returned to the wife’s small hometown. Her ex-boyfriend dislikes her new husband since he is from the city, and he still likes her. They hire her ex-boyfriend and his friends to help re-build their farmhouse by their house that was wrecked in a fire. The husband dislikes this group since they are loud, and don’t do much work. Later on someone kills the couple’s pet cat.

            During a town event a high school coach threatens and fight a mentally ill man because he is dating his 16-year-old daughter. No one seems to care except the couple.

            After the event, the wife gets into an argument with her husband about how she dresses in front of the men outside; she goes up stairs and flashes them. The next day the husband goes out hunting with them and the wife’s ex-boyfriend goes into her house and rapes her.

            At a football game the young high school student gets the mentally ill man to have sex with her. The coach finds out and the man runs out. The couple end up hitting him while driving home. They take him to their house, but the group of drunk ‘worker’ including the ex boyfriend and coach show up with guns wanting to get the ill man. A cop comes but the coach kills the cop.

            The couple decide to fight back; the husband throws boiling oil in the coach’s face and staples a guy to the wall with a nail gun. They kill all the others but their house goes up in flames as well. The husband also kills the ex boyfriend by putting his head in a bear trap. THE END!!!!!!!!!!

My Review:

            This movie sucked. The whole beginning was boring. I was expecting crazy cannibals, not drunk hillbillies. The only reason the movie got a 1.5 was for the ending. It was pretty cool how they killed them all, but that was it. The whole plot and concept of the movie was stupid. Also I hated the woman who played the wife. She was so annoying. Like she walks around with no bra, takes off her top in front of weirdo guys and then gets raped. Like what did she expect to come from that?

            There isn’t much else to say about this crappy movie. It dragged on a lot. I was surprised I didn’t fast forward all the boring scenes, which made up most of the movie.

            So I would recommend this movie to no one, unless you like those types of movie that involves a lot of listening. That’s it; I would never watch this movie again.
