Donna becomes convinced that somehow everything in this crazy town is connected; after she encounters Sugar Barley (Kathleen Benner), the local prostitute, the hunt to find her daughter is on.

Usually even the worst kind of films have SOME sort of redeeming feature, but this is just painful from go to woe. Special mention must go to the appalling acting which is mostly caricature and NOT in a humorous or clever way. It's just pathetic and completely embarrassing. The terrible direction which has no idea about pace and timing. The awful sound which is consistently flawed and technically amateur. And then there's the abysmal script which should never have been written in the first place. Honestly, I've seen some crap in my time, but this takes the damn cake.

This movie was absolutely a parody and an homage, and, as such, was very well done, I think.The acting perhaps lacks subtlety, but again, this is not meant to be your standard, dreadfully earnest spooker. If you're looking for a "serious" chiller, this isn't the movie for you.However, the cinematography is outstanding and the soundtrack is particularly topnotch. Additionally, Miss "Fancy" manages to be simultaneously spooky and tremendously erotic. Definitely recommendable for those looking for a lighter thriller to while away an hour and a half.

The Barleys, a tight-knitted family of cannibals living in a small town in Texas, send out Sugar, one of their kin, out for some of their special form of 'take-out'. This, of course, causes trouble when she abducts the daughter of Donna (who gets understandable peeved, only more so when the local sheriff won't help much), who decides to take in into her own hands to find her abducted daughter. This movie's main plot doesn't even start up until half an hour into to film and even then the movie seems content to leisurely move slowly along. What could have been a reasonably OK short is stretched so thin that it's merely boring.Eye Candy: Davina Joy gets toplessMy Grade: D

Money for 2 more weeks of edit/review time and post-production could have turned this into a horror classic. Great story line, even if a bit of a stretch, along with some very realistic nuances along the way bring it to life.As it is, it's basically the 2000s version of a B-movie. The audio is horrible and there are some scenes that are begging to be cut as the actors are basically left to ad-lib. A little time to step away and watch this again would have made this obvious while better post-production (or maybe just any) would have edited it out.What isn't hurt by the budget is the acting. They clearly found lots of unknown talent on the cheap. Too bad they couldn't find a wardrobe and sound person equally cheap.Hopefully, this film gets picked up by a bigger studio that gives it the attention it deserves. The writer and director definitely deserve another film with actual, skilled post-production people as much as this film deserves the same and an attempt to redistribute to theaters.
