About
You may like this if you enjoy grim, offbeat 70s horror with a true-crime edge and the uneasy rural feel of Wrong Turn or The Hills Have Eyes; Not for you if slow, morbid stories sound draining.
Pros: deeply creepy mood; strong lead performance; dark humor touches | Cons: very slow pace; uneven acting; intrusive narrator
