Four
college students decide to take a cruise
to the Ozark Mountains for a school
assignment but they encounter a town
nearly deserted alonmg with having car
troubles along the way with residents who
don't act like everyday people plus are
superstitious about a place called Abino
Farm in which they warn these students
about it but decide to go there anyway
which has a gate closed shut.
While they decide to enter the Albino
Farm they are killed off by deformed
looking rednecks who awaits them and have
a cave in the mountains for where they
remain as their assignments for fun and
joy turns into a blood thirsty nightmare.

There's a nice beginning with
a shot on two little kids two twin
siblings going to the gates of the farm
area and daring one another which looked
impressive as it looks like real peer
pressure. There's also a nice jumping
moment when an attack happens after one
of them goes through the metal gate
leading to this area.
There's a good moment with the characters like Brian, Stacey, Sanjay and Melody cruisng in the car just having a good
time with Brian goofing off as
well as shots on the car speeding by a
dirt road along with a good suspenseful
shot on an old dwarf sitting on a road and the
car dodging. There's alot of good camera
shot looking down on Brian trying to talk to him and a nice jumping
moment when the old dwarf leaps up and gets
anxious.
There's many good camera takes on the
four of them in a restaurant staring at
a
waitress and eyeing her breasts with a
good shot on her breasts while she tries
to take their order. Of course we often have something like this in a horror film with someone having a hard time handling their hormones.
There's a nice strange discussion with
a preacher talking to both Brian and Stacey about the dangers
where they're going with nice shots on the preachers expressionless face looking like a
religious nut.
There's a nice silent moment with both Brian going up to a car and
tapping on their window and a good side
camera shot on the drivers side opening
the window as well as some interesting
silence before he speaks in
which you wonder what the hell he's going
to say. Then a nice shot on a fellow named Levi opening the passenger car
door to get out with a nice dark shot on
him speaking and smoking a cigarette
which leaves a perfect creepy feel to all
of this.
There's a good creepy moment with both Sanjay and Melody entering a room from
a church to speak to an elderly lady about to
ask her something and then a great camera
shot looking sideways on her breast
feeding a deformed baby along with a nice
camera shot zooming down and then this old woman turning agrilly and shouting a crazy
response after they catch her in this act
with a good freaking out on Sanjay and Melody and
running away.
There's a good close up shot on Richley in a field with his foot caught in a bear
trap and nice close up shots on his foot
as well as him yelling in pain.
There's nice shocked reactions on all Sanjay, Melody and Stacey when
they look at a camcroder playing and
seeing what they find on it which is a perfect drawing card to the terror of the plot.
There's also a great shot on a creepy
looking tree in the dark with hangings of
skeletal bones as well as the three of
them freaking out about all of this.
There's a good moment on Stacey sitting
near a tree with a good camera shot
looking down on her as well as side shots
creeping in on her and then
deformed residents coming in to attack
her which looked nicely shot too.
There's many great takes with both Sanjay and Melody struggling to get
away from the madness running through the
fields or other parts of the property.
Plus a nice close up shot on the two of
them tied together with their arms sewed
up and yelling in pain when they try to
break free from one another.
Bottom line is that this film is very
entertaining and exciting to watch since
it first starts with two little two twin
siblings dare one another to enter a gate
to the Albino Farm and once they do that
terror breaks loose.
Plus there's great moments with young
adults just trying to have a good time
and encountering weirdos in a nearby
small country town which leaves a great
impression that these people are not good
to be around along with spots of deserted
areas which seemed to combine both Children
of the Corn and Texas
Chainsaw Massacre in which the
film at the same time doesn't try to rip
off these suspenseful moments and will
guarantee to have you glued to the set in
order to find what what will happen next.
There's great shocking moments too after
what one of the main character's in this
film spots like a deformed baby as well
as a wild looking punk giving two other
people a ride to the Albino Farm which
makes you think that this is a terrible
idea.
To top it off there's great shocking
moments with someone watching one of
their friends getting taken away when
they play a camcorder which almost shows
a Balir Witch type of feel along with a
struggling moment on the last survivors
escaping from these deformed residents
mixing in movies like the remake of Hills Have Eyes, Wrong
Turn and The Descent.
This film almost like a
take off on the films mentioned both old
school and recent one's but there's many
different twists in all of them. Most of
them looking great and a few that is a
slight drag but not too over the top. For
any horror fans who like creepy
mysterious superstitious storylines would
enjoy this one for sure.

The acting was
quite good in which we spot lead actress Alicia Lagano (Melody) didn't seem to do much
in the very beginning of the film but
then her adrenaline was really pumping
big time when the terror starts to happen
with her crying emotions and intensity
which she does quite well with this and I
was quite impressed with what she had to
do.
Sunkrish
Bala (Sanjay) was quite cheesy with his
performance but yet he seems to bring a
bit of humor onto the screen with his
indian accent and comes across nicely
into the plot and all that's happening in
which he can be well remembered like the
rest of the cast that was involved so he
deserves a good pat on the back since he
worked hard in his entire performance.
Nick Richey (Brian) was probably one of the
best actors in this film in which he
really knew how to portray a total
goofball with his sarcastic behavior and
trying to come across as someone funny
but not impressing anyone. He also does
well with his raging anger too in some
spots of the film as well as his
panicking attitude too. His aggressions worked in well for many scene's with his loud and intense screaming attitude.
Tammin Sursok (Stacey) was really fun to
watch in which she knew how to act tough
when necessary as well as having a light
hearted attitude too when it came to
inncocent children that were invovled in
the film. She was a true character
actress which is enough to comment on
her. Just watch her perform and you will
see what I mean.
The rest of the cast members had small
parts but I wanted to mention some people
here since they made the story really
effective too:
Chris Jericho (Levi) was perfect portraying
a total weirdo in the film and came
across someone who was sketchy and
untrustworthy too. He is a professional
wrestler but this film is a good start to
a career in horror films with what he
portrayed and broguht alot of great
intense energy to his role. I found this
dude the best out of the whole cast even
if he was in it for about 6 minutes or
so.
Duane Whitaker (Jeremiah) also does a nice job
in his cameo as a fellow at a gas station
acting very bizarre and behaving like a
crazy supersititous old coot in which
I've never seen him portray a role like
this proving he can be quite versatile.
Another cast member who was versatile was Kevin Blair (Preacher) whom I remembered
fondly with his work in Hills
Have Eyes Part 2 and Friday
the 13th Part VII: The New Blood which he looked extremely different this
time and played off a freaky preacher
incredibly well. He looked totally
ghostly and appears in the end of this
film.

There's a brief breast shot
on Joicie Appel while breast
feeding a deformed baby.
Beth Graveman as one of the deformed
people in the film flashes her breasts.

Someone's foot is
caught in a bear trap with the spikes
stabbed in
A person has their jaw stabbed by a hook
and torn out
Two arms are sewed together
A head is bashed in

There's terrific accoustic
guitar bluesy music like you'd hear in a
ghost town or a deserted country area
with the sliding chords on this. There's
also deep gloomy sounds and metal
scraping too which fits the film quite
well. We hear the odd moaning sounds as
well as a jungle beat type of drumming
during a scene where the main characters
are trying to escape in a field at the
Albino Farm.
