It’s a tale as old as time: a rural family is being ordered off their land by the government and aren’t taking kindly to it, and they’re all pale mutants due to the water being poisoned or something, and one of them always wears a creepy smiley face mask, and they kill every random group of twentysomething who camps anywhere in the woods nearby.
Practically ripped from the headlines!
Stars Lin Shaye as the mariarch of the murderous, pale, mask-wearing clan, who does really well when this movie makes the mistake so many like it do and in the third act finally gets alright (for what it is, which is to say, something that would have been much better if it was from 1975 than 2019… something about sweet-looking little Lin Shaye cutting off a sheriff’s fingers and hissing at him “That’s not all I’m going to cut off” kinda works, in terms of what these movies are trying to do). Too bad it took that long.
I bet Rob Zombie likes this movie.
