The start of the movie just gives it that gross feeling as it's still an open case and a lot of it is still unexplained, watching the first part of the story is pretty corny until the action all begins, really sick events and a lot of wierd country side people who get their kicks of mutilating people.
It's one of those horrors that you might wanna watch a happy movie after it just so you can get the sick events off your head.
