The Rockwell clan are making with the cross-country vacay bag when they suffer some static with their vehicle and are forced to stop at a remote country store in the hopes of getting some repairs post-haste! Well, instead of getting their SUV fixed, they wind up guests over at Granny’s (Liz Little) place where the grotesquely suburban Rockwell’s meet the just plan grotesque members of Granny’s family… mutants one and all, and each one is more out of their skull and crazed for blood than the last! What could have been a simple stalk n’ slay picture turns into a demented fever dream thanks to the absolutely off-the-fuckin’-charts sensibilities of writer/director Gabe Bartalos (who’s probably best known for his work in the make-up department of the Leprechaun series and the Basket Case sequels). Every single sequence is filled with odd close-ups and camera placement, maniacal use of image distortion lenses, bizarre mutants, and surreal sets… often all at the same

One can not survive on blood and gore alone. Looking for something still in the realm, but a little different, I sauntered my way up to my TV and hit play, delving into the drama-filled southern world of supernatural with V.C. Andrews’ Landry Family four-movie collection. The trailer for the film combo is what first drew my attention and I thought it might be something I could get into, and honestly, I was right. Filled to the brim with drama, intrigue, the supernatural world lingers just below the surface with the subject of hoodoo and voodoo often coming up. The main story at the heart of the franchise revolves around Ruby (Raechelle Banno), a young, kind woman raised in the bayou by her grandmother after her mother passed during childbirth. Ruby had never met her father, but on her grandmother’s deathbed, she shares not only the identity of Ruby’s father but that she also has a twin sister. When Ruby’s
