This movie kept coming up on my feed on Vudu and I almost watched it a couple of times but always found something else. Well it started showing up on Tubi too and I finally gave in and I'm glad I did.. this movie has a great recipe of acting, camera work, music and effects and story with some effects somehow it's a really good movie. It's definitely a worthwhile movie especially if you're into good stories and acting. If thriller movies is your thing this is one you weren't want to miss. I recommend it, ignore the haters and watch it. I'm rating this a 8 to help out the score. Support Ash and Bone!

Ok, saw this trending so decided to give it a go since I like horror even though I never seen or heard anyone in it (no offense if you're famous) but I really like it. I like that there is an actual story since that's pretty rare, I like that they put effort into the character and the dialogue (another rarity these days) it's like an indie film version of a studio movie.. the family was good, the crazy trio was fun but the villains were the best! I like how they used red herrings like the guy at the bar, the bartender, the gun salesman and the sheriff.. made me wonder for sure! And not too blatant of a sequel set up but a pretty satisfactory ending too.. I really dig it, sweet flick I'll for sure rewatch!

The story is very basic and has been done 100s of times the acting is horrible 1 actress is decent shes 1 if I guess youd called a villian has no gore some us implied but they dont show it the tension isnt there cause of bad acting and mediocre filming . I would say it's a slasher wanna be and a thriller wanna be but doesn't accomplish either. I was going to turn it off but it's free on my Amazon prime and its horror so 7 out if 10 are junk anyway so what the heck. Usually when they get 5.8 and 5.9s I love them but this 1 is a loser. I think it's getting harder because we have so many streaming companies and the usual suspects that need films so they have to accept crap and in return people's standards are getting lowered.

It's not often lately I find a horror movie that's character and story driven like this. I laughed at or with the villains and their crazy ways and strange logic. I related to the family situation and my ultimate favorite was Jamie's character and her boyfriend or who knows what they were. I also kept feeling the old creepy bartender was in on it somehow. And the sheriff was kind of sketchy but he got his haha chop chop. I thought I'd watched all the horror movies of the season but caught this in the tail end and I must say it was very much worth it! It kept me entertained the whole time although the set up is definitely slower than I'd normally like. Don't turn it off it's worth it! Side note the crazy villain lady was some of the best acting I've seen in a minute!

The story is about a troubled teenage girl and her family takes time away from the city life to stay at a vacation cabin in the country to help their daughter keep out of trouble. The girl like any teenager rebels against her family and takes the family van to a nearby town bar to blow off steam. She gets in a minor scuff with a bar goer and meets a couple that visits the bar frequently. In a conversation the couple talks about local legends one involving a house that a brother and sister is said to live in but no one sees them. The girl is interested in seeing this house and convinces the couple to go and check it out. With hesitant the couple tries to convince the girl to stop buy proceeds to explore the house, moments later a scruffy man is heard and muttering to himself and his sister behind. In a panic the couple and the girl rushes out of the house alerting the two homesteaders, the woman fires her weapon at the trespassers. From this point on the brother and sister assailants are hell bent and want blood for disturbing their home. The story is a slow burn with familiar faces of the cast from Harley's previous films, it is jam packed with drama that is displayed by the family. The story however lacks a strong Horror element in which is about two crazy siblings that should be more vigilant on stalking and hunting those who dare come across their side of the fence. The family has most of the spotlight and the crazed siblings are in the dark with a minor appearance. This film is good for its drama and story trailing but it may not be a Horror thrill for those looking for a good time.

I try watching most of the new horror movies that come out especially in October and this one was different to me. They did a good job building up the story and characters so you'd care about them and it worked.. a little slow after the first set up scene but the acting and the camera work is good so it held me and when it started heating up it never stopped, it built like an avalanche. I loved the crazy hillbillies and the adventurous bar flies they all had personality and we're different. The family dynamics are pretty relatable honestly and the difficulty of raising a teen and relationships were very impactful to me, I felt that! A few twists and turns although nothing too crazy. Also I really liked the music choices and how they used it to divide the teen from her parents and just the music in general was great. Solid horror movie I'd recommend and I'll probably buy a dvd and watch again.

I am a movie fan first so I may not speak for the horror fringe but I'll try to see if I can help shed some light on the "fan reviews" other than saying "opinions are like ....." This flick has balance in story telling, drama and using elements other than gore and nudity or other forms of exploitation and that may or may not be everyone's cup of tea.. To call it crap or waste of time is absurd especially looking at the critics (who almost have consensus that this is anywhere from a pretty good flick to a very good flick. I looked at the film festival accolades and that should tell anyone that hesitates they this is at the very least good! It starts hot and then goes into a drama phase to set up the story (so that you care about the people in distress). If you're after a kill count movie - this is not your movie. I also saw some cinematography discrepancies as far as reviews and that was probably my highlight actually. Clever shots that tell the story and excellent lighting although a bit dark at times and a bit close up heavy but I get the choices and would definitely recommend this (already have privately) but if you like WWE wrestling over Boxing it may go over your head lol.
