The plot may sound simple, and this movie may take a while to get started, but once it does--it's a blast! The characters in the movie were all likable and there are a lot of gory knife, hatchet, ax, crossbow, and other murders with sharp weaponry to keep you interested. The finale is brutal as the attackers and the family slash and hack at each other. Good Tom Savini FX and a twisted ending make this a must see.
