What's more fun, the genre-twist that comes 5 minutes or the pretty girls fighting in their underwear? A great combo of horror and laughs, well-shot and acted, this is what a short film should be: funny, surprising, satirical and different. Watch for Patty McCormack (the little girl from THE BAD SEED) as an all growed-up Hillbilly mom. In fact, all the acting is top- notch with pretty, sexy Cali somebody as the real standout. Think of all the poorly-acted, boring, I'm-an-unhappy-homeless-druggie teenager short films that fall flat on YouTube or I-Tunes, and then reward yourself by trying to get your hands on a DVD of this -- I saw a promotional copy for the Beverly Hills Film Festival. Nice horror gumbo for a feature, too.

Excellent effort!

What a nifty little flick! It's funny, surprising, shocking... everything so many "slasher flicks" wish they could be but fail at.
The film also features some excellent photography and editing, great acting, fantastic use of music and sound--the twangs and squishy sounds during the banjo murder were both funny and disturbing--and a clever script that sports more effective twists that you find in most horror films running ten times as long this is truly a superior effort.
The only real complaint I have with the film is the final couple of seconds. I think it would have ended stronger without the "eyes snap open" cliché at the very end.
