The entire film was a forced set-up for violence. Now i'm not against blood, spilled intestines, open brain matter and broken bones but i want it to be part of a bigger story and this movie didn't deliver.
A young couple move to a small town in the south where the wife was raised. The rednecks and racists (though the town had a black sheriff!!!) were so over the top it was embarrassing though James Woods played a great alcoholic rage filled football coach. There were taunts and jeers and pet cat hangings right from the start directed at the pussy East Coast writer of Russian novels (played by James Marsden) and there was leering, suggestive, flirting and of course gang rape scenes directed at the wife, played by Kate Bosworth.
And naturally, there had to be a retarded town boy who also liked to diddle teenage girls. In fact, as i'm typing this review, i'm thinking we SHOULD have walked out; nothing redeeming about this movie. Though some of the kill scenes at the end were worthy of the next Final Destination movie.
At least it didn't have Vampires, Werewolves or Zombies! Mr. Mike
