Storyline

With their boat in disarray, darkness coming on, and a heavy thunderstorm starting up, their only solution is to look for help or seek shelter of some kind. They finally come across a decrepit house and barn with no one home. However, there are definite signs of the house being inhabited, and the enormous crop of marijuana in the barn suggests the homeowners may not welcome their presence. Even worse, there is no telephone or means of communication to the outside world. But when the deranged, redneck owners, Brett, Jimmy and their even more sadistic father Poppy return, Rob and Pia realize a fear far beyond anything they have ever known.

User Reviews

Horror buffs should appreciate this!!

I had read some good reviews for this "B" movie so I decided to check it out, and I am glad that I did. The movie has a very tense feel to it that made it exciting to watch. Simple story but executed very well. I was pleasantly surprised with the acting and the directing. I've seen too many "B" movies that were horrible, but this one was impressive. It had a good atmosphere and a handful of blood and gore, which in my book is awesome. But this won't be for the easily grossed out. When the gore comes, it comes on strong and defiantly does not disappoint. I enjoyed this very much. I didn't recognize any of the actors, but they were all very good in the roles. The two main characters did a very good job making us sympathize their situation and the "bad" guys executed their parts perfectly. They were very convincing, I actually believed they were what they were portraying. Check it out if you enjoy and good quality horror/thriller flick.
