I�m still wondering how they pitched this film. Perhaps they started with something like: �The twist is - there is no twist!� Or maybe they said: �We want to make a film whose plot you can accurately predict just from knowing the title.� Or maybe they said: �Why try for average when lame will sell?�

I. Just. Don�t. Know. This is the film: Man in car. Main road busy, so takes quiet dusty backroad while listening to ominous radio reports of quiet dusty backroad disappearances. Man crashes into car of funky teenagers. They all set off to get killed in nasty ways by inbreds through � cleverly � deciding to break into their dusty backroad shack. Slutty stoner couple, naturally, get done first, and man and his companions later watch their limbs being sawn off in said shack. Dumb police officer gets done in, dashing hopes of rescue. Lots of jumpy moments. Man and the sexiest girl escape in unlikely tree-leaping feats of survival, so will live to shag each other. Inbred monsters achieved through prostheses, fake hair and a strong but misplaced faith in the suspension of disbelief.

There�s no point complaining that I�ve spoilt the plot for you, because if you�re sensible and take my advice, you�ll spend your money on something original and highbrow like the Big Brother 4 book, or the latest Jennifer Ellison single.
