Starz Channel airing
Read the on screen guide listing of this film and it sounded interesting. We get 5 college students hitchhiking through Virgina on their way to DC for some rallies. The truck they hitch a ride in breaks down. So they stay the night in an old barn.
The barn belongs to a crazy family of rednecks. And we get your typical backwoods redneck horror tropes. There is some ok acting and decent FX work. But the plot is by the numbers.
I didn't realize till the film was over that this was directed by George Romero's son Cameron. But early on in the film one of the college kids ask the rest of them if they have seen "Night of the Living Dead". That should have been a huge clue. While this wasn't a horrible film.Nothing about it stands out. Really glad I just caught this on TV and didn't rent or buy it.
Staunton Hill gets a C-.
