Note: I like this poster more than the normal one, but that tagline is garbage. Personally, I really think it should be "Officer, we've had a doozy of a day." If you don't get it, don't worry, it's funny in the context of the movie.
I tend to believe that this movie is much better going in not knowing anything about it. So if you haven't seen it, please take my word and watch it without reading on.
Otherwise, spoiler city:
So first off, I fully admit that this was kinda cheating to pick. Not only have I seen it before, but its also much more of a funny satire than a truly scary movie. That being said, I can always pretend that i hadn't seen it, and thus picked it not knowing what it was truly about. But here's the thing, I wanted to watch it, so deal with it.
Seriously though, as I enter the final week of Spooktober, I'll be watching several of the scariest films (according to various lists and whatnot), so I decided to kick off the week with something a little light, so that I don't end the month with a bout of depression and/or fear-somnia.
All that said, this movie kicks ass.
It's just such a perfect send up of so many backwoods horror tropes. Promiscuous college kids on spring break stumble upon two hillbillies in their decrepit cabin and bad stuff starts happening. Except the hillbillies in question are not evil in anyway, just always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hilarious, yet gory deaths are strewn through this slasher meets comedy. I really just can't recommend this enough. Yes, it's not particularly scary in the traditional sense, but again, I don't care. See the movie and enjoy.
Rating on the Spook-o-meter: 2 out of 10 boos
