Purely Joyful Movie!

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A family on vacation in Florida decides to indulge Dad (Hart) and his hobby of roadside attractions. He takes them to the Side Sho an abandoned carnival in hopes of taking some pictures. Before you can yell "Redneck Hell" the family is under attack by side show freaks and nasty redneck fellows who imprison the women. Dad and his 12 year old son (Ballard) come up with a plan to free the women and escape. Things are handled so poorly from the beginning and the script is so stupid, you will hardly care. Director Michael D'Anna doesn't squeeze one drop of atmosphere out of the old dark carnival which should have been dripping with it. There isn't a jump scare in sight, the make up effects are uneven and inconsistent and the blood, and there is a lot of it, is so poor and overdone it delivers no impact at all. It should also be pointed out that the musical score by composer Leonard Wolf is so bad it kills off any chance of even an accidental scare.

I blind bought this movie and am pretty upset that I paid as much as I did but I would say that it's at least worth a rent for some cool deaths and laughable acting. It is not a good movie in any way but I must say that I was pretty darn entertained. I guess it could be called so-bad-it's-good.As I said, the acting is awful, I feel like I could have done a better job showing, at least, any emotion. The story is nothing new and has been done better. I guess I just have a soft spot for any carnival-esquire type film. I would say rent this or download it but definitely don't buy it. It is not worth more than one watch.

From the decrepit ranks of the already over-saturated 'Hillybilly Horror' sub-genre comes this woeful tale of a vacationing family terrorized by inbred rednecks. Sound familiar? Well it most definitely should to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the horror genre. There is absolutely new here. The film seems content to recycle all thee old worn out clichés (deformed hicks, a peaceful family turned gun-toting killers when push comes to show, the rebellious daughter, the one 'freak' who's good at heart, etcetera...), but does even that half-heartedly enough to make this an utter waste of time. This is forgettable dreck, but humorously enough lead J.D. Hart once starred in a movie called "Films that Suck" earlier in his career, quite an ironic omen indeed.My Grade: D-

A family traveling for their daughter's softball league decide to take the 'scenic route' and end up in the middle of nowhere. The father is an avid photographer, and when he hears of an old abandoned side show in the town, he decides to take another detour to take some photographs.Of course, the side show is filled with inbred freaks, who promptly kidnap the women and leave the young son and father to fend for themselves.The only cool thing about this film is how the family actually fights back against their inbred captors. Other than that, there's nothing worthwhile about the film.
