Recap:
So there is this family of degenerated, inbred hillbillies who feed on trespassers….. Wait. I know what you want to say, but this time it’s different: no butcher’s apron, no mask made of human flesh and, most importantly, no chainsaw. But apart from that, people in West Virginia are very much like Texans, but I’m not complaining. I guess horror has subgenres with recurring tropes, like we know what we get when we watch a zombie/vampire/etc. movie. Does this subgenre have a name yet? Maybe Hillbilly Horror? Would sound right to my ears.
Anyway, all I want to say is yes. YES! This movie works on many levels, it’s got horror, suspense hand a fair share of gore. The script is not exactly arthouse, it doesn’t even meet most of the usual Hollywood requirements like conflict/plot twists/character development /hero’s journey/whatever. But it works. It doesn’t insult my intelligence, thanks for that. And then the production design. I guess this was the filthiest, most disgusting cabin I’ve seen so far, and you simply must love the car cemetery with the wide range of specimen that hint at how long this family has been living their special lifestyle. All in all this is a very complete and enjoyable movie.
