It went strait to DVD, so I doubt its all that good, but the premise is something I've always wanted to be made into a film. Poor hillbillies harassed by douchebag twenty something year olds

It played a couple weeks here but I didn't see it.

To me, it sounds a lot like Jack Brooks Monster Slayer (which I believe is the reason why this film took nearly two years to receive an American release).

Funny movie.

If the flashback scene had been played straighter, it would be right at home in something like Hatchet.

Didn't care much for the prologue, though; it seemed unnecessary and I was expecting a Brick Joke with it that never happened.

It came out on DVD here in Aus a month or two ago . I've been meaning to see it since I first heard of it. To me it looks hilariously and seems like a great take on the Slasher genre.

It looks like the entire joke was explained in the trailer. But I'll check it out anyway.

This was an awesome film. The trailer really sells the film but, as with all comedies, they put all the really funny scenes in the trailer. So I made sure that when I showed it to my friends that they didn't know what it was. And, well they didn't really like the start, because the start makes it look like a generic hillbilly horror film. It is necessary though, because once the film flips that on it's head they loved it. Really good film, and for those of you who have seen the trailer, don't be put off, the trailer only spoils the first and second acts (which is admitedly 2/3rds of the film). The closest comparision I know of would be Shaun of the Dead in that it makes fun of the genre but the characters never become self aware or genre savvy and so you don't lose your emotional attachment to them. They are believable people in the same way that Shaun and his friends were believable people.

[up] I was mildly disappointed that the only deaths I hadn't seen by the time I actually sat down in theaters were the sawblade and whacker ones. Didn't ruin the film or anything, though.
