Trivia:

Most of the movie was filmed guerrilla-style, meaning no permits and lots of secret locations. While filming the scene where Amy Chludzinski is being pursued through the woods by a knife-wielding cannibal, a New Jersey Forest Ranger unknowingly stumbled onto the set. Director Jon McBride immediately halted production for fear the Ranger might get the wrong idea and actually shoot somebody.

Cheap fun

This is a zero-budget film, so you must be prepared for dodgy effects. But if the actors aren't top notch, they are at least keen, and this comes out in the film. Add some great comedy-country tunes and plenty of gore, and what more could you aask for?
