Unfortunately, this gets him the attention of the killer Sawney Bean, who has been kidnapping people and dismembering their bodies as food for his relatives. Sawney kidnaps Hamish's fiancee to become the next meal, and to send a message to his nemesis. However, as Hamish tries to rescue his lady love, something is stirring in the cellar that threatens to destroy them all.
The film was distributed in America by Creator/{{Lionsgate}}.

* DecapitationPresentation: [[spoiler:Sawney offers Hamish some soup made from his girlfriend's head.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Hamish manages to put down the Beans and escape in their taxi, only for the mother of the family to survive and attack him as the film ends.]]
* TheFundamentalist: Sawney believes the Bible verses about the flesh of man are a call to cannibalism, and acts accordingly.

* PredecessorVillain: The original Sawney Bean clan was slaughtered by the Crown 500 years earlier. The current one is borne of their SoleSurvivor.
