Tyge Murdock, a low-budget horror filmmaker, returns to his hometown to do a little inward thinking after an actor dies on the set of his latest film. He runs into his ex high school sweetheart, Ashley Lomack, who peaced on out of his life after her sister was the sole survivor of a brutal massacre (the events of Savage Harvest, of course). Ashley is back in town following the appearance of a strange tape featuring her blood-covered sister (who committed suicide five years later) asking for help. Tyge crashes at his best friend’s house, who has also let his buddy Zack move in after his family was murdered in the same massacre... it was his uncle’s land where it all went down. Turns out Zack sent Ashley the tape that his cop buddy gave him in order to get Ashley back in town to help him uncover the weird shit that happened ten years ago. They head to Ashley’s grandparents house (the spot where her older sister took her life) to look around, Ashley wants closure and Zack is convinced she left something there that will clue him in on the reasoning behind all the awfulness. Well, Zack ends up being right and he discovers a vhs tape stashed in a crawl space. After a lot of talk and personal issues getting dwelled on, one of the dinks finally gets possessed and the blood starts spilling. They get trapped on the farm along with some other folks unfortunate enough to wander onto the property and those pesky demonic animal spirits work their way through the cast. Budweiser gets guzzled, flesh gets torn and the film runs way longer than it has any right to. The exposition-heavy opening doesn’t drag as much as it really should and the backyard splatter breathes life into the tail-end but it’s still just a bit more boring than enjoyable. If you got yourself a fetish for chainsaw violence, make sure to stick around.
