First of all, don't (like me) go into this expecting a grim gore-fest, because it really isn't.
What it is however, is a darkly comic tale about a psychopathic family who have a nasty habit of torturing and killing people who happen to cross their paths. It's full of all the classic clichés and pays homage to a countless amount of films, particularly 1970's horrors. The loud, eccentric characters really make this film stand out and the vile Firefly family are portrayed perfectly. It also has a really good 70's soundtrack to it which gives it the sleazy, Southern American feel to it.
Some of the film is quite graphic but there's certainly a lot worse out there. There's a mixture of implied and "in your face" violence throughout but the thing you will feel most for is the sheer helplessness of there situation. But as I said earlier, it's all done in a slightly comedic way. I would definitely recommended this film, but not if you after a serious horror.
