A naive and attractive young woman (pretty Caronialisha McGriff) runs afoul of a couple of unhinged and murderous backwoods rednecks in a remote rural community in Georgia. Writer/director Trey McGriff not only makes good use of the secluded sylvan setting -- a sprawling pumpkin patch in particular makes for a real neat location -- and presents a flavorsome evocation of the deep south region, but also offers a few inspired contemporary touches (for example, our demented duo find their victims off of the Internet and film their bloodthirsty exploits with portable cameras for posterity), maintains an appealing tongue-in-cheek tone, and delivers one doozy of a cool and clever surprise twist ending. Moreover, it's competently done all around: The stark black and white cinematography provides an appropriately rough'n'grainy look, the flesh-crawling synthesizer score hits the shivery spot, and McGriff delivers a convincing performance as merry beer-guzzling hillbilly lunatic Ray Junior. A nice little item.
