Pitchfork

When you look at the trailer for this movie, and see the notation on this page, we are to believe this is a good horror movie. I mean it won seven awards, right? Don't be fooled. Poor writing. Terrible acting.

Buried somewhere in this pile of garbage is an interesting idea, or at least the idea to start a new form of killer. But it is so poorly written, acted, and executed - there is virtually nothing redeeming about it.

We decided to give it a chance, and boy what a waste of time and money.

Terrible. Absolutely cringe worthy.

Avoid at all costs.

Diet Freddy Krueger, on a tight to zero budget, gets horny and goes all Country-twang on a bunch of terrible, loathsome actors, in a horrible film with its forced plot, transition delays, faux pas reviews and lazy to extremely lethargic direction; executed poorly with a single Sony a7 camera. I guess the cast volunteered, hence we have the "Mother" hamming it all the way, towards the end.

Stay far away.

Don't get me wrong, but the acting was so bad, it seemed the cast was administered enemata before the takes and asked to hold it before they said something stupid like: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by blood?". And the film felt like director Glenn Douglas Packard shot the whole thing cleaning up after the bunch of morons couldn't 'hold it' any longer.

This POS movie was like if S Club 7 tried to make a horror movie. It was awful. The acting. The script. The cinematography. Hackneyed doesn't begin to cover it. Nothing about it made sense. Trite clichés abound. Avoid at all costs. Not even worth a "so bad its good" watch. Burn all the copies. Purge it from history. What more can be said about something which is in equal parts insulting, dumb, poorly crafted, idiotic, illogical, clichéd, boring and s**t.

My god, how many goddamn spotlights does one farmer have strewn around his property. Shining into the goddamn camera.

The barn dance scene was where I knew I had made a huge huge mistake.

I get it, you are from New York. That van made me angry. It was like someone who has never seen a movie decided to make a movie. AVOID.

When writing a review I do try and start off with a good point if there is one: the good point about this movie is...you can turn it off and throw the DVD in the bin and prevent yourself from ever subjecting your mind to anything as awful again.

The lighting was awful, I mean really bad. You can even see lights and reflectors being moved during a shot.

The direction is non-existent. That can be the only explanation for such dire non-acting. Not one single one of the cast has any saving graces.

The editing is slapdash and random, but then that fits perfectly in with the story and everything else about this movie.

The acting is...missing! no-one acts, I could never validate their efforts by saying that they acted badly, because that's at least acting, which is more than the cast do.

It's way less horrific than a visit from the mother in law. Seriously, don't waste your time.

Right from the get go I hated every character in this movie. The acting was atrocious except from the two actors portraying the parents in the final act. There was no real emotion coming from any character. That whole barn dance scene, cuz you know, every New Yorker knows how to do a perfectly choreographed line dance. Once we get into the killing there was nothing new here. Just your typical death by numbers tropes. Not to mention that we don't even really get to see any of the kills. If your looking for gore, look elsewhere, except for a couple scenes near the end. And even then it's nothing that makes you go "whoa that was brutal". As for the killer himself I have no clue as to why they made him act like some sort of animal. All in all avoid this or you'll want to put a pitchfork in your eyes.
