4/10
I was rather disappointed with this one. I does not have the relentless grit of its obvious role models (like Deliverance, THHE, Texas Chainsaw Massacre).
The hillbillies were alright scary at first but once you get to see and hear them more frequently, they just turn into Lord-of-the-Rings-style Orcs. The characters are not relatable enough and remain empty cardboard figures. The nail in the coffin was the 10 minute dance scene in the trees.
