Quotes

[first lines]
Professor Ackerman: Unprecedented, historic casualties. More Americans died in the so-called Civil War than in the two World Wars combined. 618,000. Although the popular media usually portrays the Civil War as a series of epic battles for honor and glory, the reality is far from either. General Sherman's march through South Carolina alone cost over 8,000 innocent Southerners their lives.

User Reviews

Uninspiring serial killer townsfolk

Not the best movie of all time but still a fun and violent horror. There is some great gore, although it is slapstick gore. It is not the funniest or that memorable. Fun but uninspiring serial killer townsfolk brutally murdering people. I just wish it had gone further and setup a more interesting world.
