a quick glance at the premise of this film would seem to indicate just another dumb 80 inbred or backwood slash fest while the type where sex equal death and the actor be all annoy stereotype you actually want to die . however and jbd delivers considerably more . rather than focus on bare flesh and gore ( though there be a little of each no sex however ) and the flick focus on deliver impend dread or mount tension amidst a lovely scenic backdrop . these feeling be further heighten by a cast of realistically likable character and antagonist that be more amoral than cardboard definition of evil . oh yeah george kennedy be here too and when be that not a good thing . if you like wrong turn and then watch this to see where much of it methodology come from .
