first , iam surprised that not one reviewer yet mentioned that this is part two of a trilogy by ketchum...the first being a book a cant remember the title of off hand , and the second being a low budget horror flick called the off spring that came out a few years ago...i will say that to really gain insight and understand this movie you need to watch the cheese fest which is the offspring first...jack ketchum plays the alcoholic sheriff in that , and it s pretty bad , but will explain a lot...i wont spoil the offspring for you , just go and watch it ...i will say that the woman is from a tribe of cannibalistic children that were abandoned by their parents when they died off some time ago , and that ,movie/book, all takes place on the east coast islands around cape cod somewhere...the woman starts off right where off spring left off..thats why the beginning probably makes little sense to most viewers... I'm puzzled that the amount of disgust this movie generated , its not all that gory, no really bad or graphic rape scenes at all, its all left to your imagination...thats the scary part..i think movies like the saw series have no value and are mindless senseless waste of film...this movie however , has substance and tells a twisted story ...also worth mentioning is the lost , one of the greatest films I've seen in a long time...see it if you enjoyed this..
