After a somewhat botched up heist, Zenia (Lynn Lowry) leads her little gang - Fish (Rachel Amanda Bryant), Hurt (Kevin Caliber), Candy (Jennifer Michelle Stone II) and Steve (Steven Morris) - to some remote cabin deep in the woods to lay low for a while. Thing is, this exact neck of the woods is inrested with some bizarre wood zombies (in lack of a better term) who seem to have nothing more (or less) in mind than to kill all humans that cross their way. And since they can't be gunned down just like that, our anti-heroes soon find themselves at a loss - until they're saved by Henrietta's (Felissa Rose) extensive redneck family, who readily take them in and even invite them to a special dinner. Thing is, there's something very off with that family, somethins that might make them even more dangerous thatn the wood zombies themselves ...

Genre favourites Sadie Katz and Felissa Rose appear in a film-within-the-tilm zombie movie.

One just can't but love the concept of this movie, pretty much a cross of zombie movie and folk horror, with fittingly bizarre monsters and a bunch of anti-heroes as lead characters. What's more, this blend works perfectly fine thanks to a script that moves along swiftly but still gives its characters room to unfold, thanks to a competent cast, and thanks to a genre-savvy direction. And the extended action-heavy showdown between humans. half-humans and tree zombies alone is already worth the admission alone. Very cool genre entertainment for sure.
