A movie about two backpackers who cross paths with a hillbilly man, Evan, after saving his daughter from a life-threatening injury in the woods. Evan invites them both to stay at his house for a few days. While the woman is swimming naked in a nearby lake, she spots a bearded man drooling and staring at her through the trees. After running back to Evan's house, we learn that the bearded man is actually Evan's severely mentally disabled son, William.
I really so badly for William. He had severe mental development issues and this movie treats him like a monster. He clearly showed remorse when he lashed out. He just didn't know his own strength. It was sort of an "Of Mice and Men" situation, only if Lenny were more feral.
After the protagonists murder both Evan AND (accidentally) the little girl they saved at the beginning, William is PISSED. He has every right to be... his father and younger sister were just killed. The movie's final 20 minutes devolve into an overlong final girl chase where the real antagonist ends up winning. Poor guy. I was rooting for you, William.
