truly remarkable film

This film is a must see for anyone interested in quality independent films. The actors are all amateurs, and they capture the essence of a segment of rural Southern society as no professional can. The theme of fear of the unknown OTHER has seldom been addressed better on film. The various theories propounded by the citizens of Farr, Mississippi as to the nature of the threat they perceive in their midst have an all too familiar ring. Is it the government? foreigners? technology? The response to the fear is hilarious, but sobering. I laughed as much as I ever have in a movie, but even aside from the humor it is a remarkable film which deserves wide circulation.

One of the best Independent films I have ever seen.

I enjoyed every second of this movie. It kept my attention focused on the film the entire time. I felt as though I was watching a real documentary being filmed in a real town with real characters. It was written and directed very professionally. I was very surprised at the level of professionalism that was achieved with all aspects of the film. The characters were spot on with each defining their personality traits very well. I was also shocked at the amount of humor the film contained. I found myself laughing out loud numerous times. I give this film two thumbs up! It is a must see. I sincerely believe that this film will have a following and be included in many personal libraries. I can not wait to see it again!

Solid and FUN

How this slipped by me, I dunno. Oh, actually I do know: Most indie films lately are garbage so I avoid them. This one just looked... right. The poster art was just mysterious enough to draw me in.

It's a "mockumentary" of all those horribly lame, cheap and stupid TV shows and "documentaries" about cryptids and hillbillies that hunt them. However, director Ladner is REALLY good at getting believable performances outta non-actors and writing a story that never goes over the top, winks at the audience or shoves ideologies down our throats.

The humor here is often subtle character bits that you don't quite "get" in the moment, but the moment later. There are open gags (tinfoil hat, goats, etc), which are fantastic and not presented in a clownish way.

By the end, I was laughing regularly and am now forcing everyone I know to see this.
