i too have wait a long time to see this film . as far a i know it have never be release in australia so in the end i find a copy on the net and order it through there . week after my order confirmation it finally arrive and i be extremely excited to finally be sit in front of my tv ready to watch a film that sound so interesting and controversial and film in an area of the world where so many good movie be . what a disappointment . within the first few minute i realise i would order a b grader but be still full of expectation . i convince my son ( 18 ) to watch it with me a i love share when i find a movie of value with good underlying statement and or or story line . about half way through he get up and say he couldn not stand watch it any longer and it be so predictable and amateurish . i agree but watch to the end . the acting be atrocious even for b grade standard . the stereotyping also predictable and i feel for the good folk of lake arthur and louisianna who must have cringe after see the film depict them in such a way . no doubt some racial prejudice still exist in many part of the world not just the state but really and in this day and age i doubt they would get away with all the ridiculous alibi present in this . i have to double check the date the film be make a their attempt at gimmicky filming of the more gruesome scene be something i would expect from a high school student first attempt at make a film indy like . i would like to see this film put into the hand of experienced scriptwriter and film maker and it an old tale but one that could still pack a punch if deal with professionally . so disappointed after such a long wait and with such high expectation . the soundtrack be probably the only thing i enjoy .
