Trivia:

The US VHS release of the film has an obvious editing defect in it. The shot where the sheriff drives up to the farm while Mac chops wood plays twice.

Goofs:

Plot holes: In the last scene in the barn, when Mac has to stab his girlfriend, he had no way of knowing that the knife he used was a fake knife, as the knife belonged to the male of the couple who was killed in the beginning of the movie. The couple was killed after crashing in Old McDonald's cornfield and Mac never interacted with them.

Quotes:

Jeremiah: I was just yankin' your chain.

It deserves higher than a 4.0, why not a 4.8 to a 5.0??

Just saw this movie, and I personally have to say that I was pleased. I am not sure if this is exactly a B-film, or if its just a plain old Direct-to-video release.

I thought it was just a B-film judging by the previews. Now watching it sort of says something different. To be as honest as I can be, I was very impressed. It has good character development, good twists, and some-what at the bear least descent dialogue.

The main character of the movie, Mac, gives off a strong performance, as does Steve Railsback. Mac sort of has a bit of resemblance to actor Michael Bein. I really enjoyed this movie, then again, I think it could have been because of my low expectations.

This is a Slasher movie, and as most horror movies not to mention now-a-days, the slasher genre of Horror has been disappointing us with all its B-films and Direct-to-video releases. You might sorta say even for a Direct to video or a B-film; which ever this may be, is a good comback to the Slasher Genre. The Slasher genre is one of my favorite genres of horror just as Thrash is my favorite genre of Metal.

Though, I personally do suggest that those who watch it should be aware.
