Her performance alone was enough to give this film a decent review. Of course the movie is filled with ludicrous, unrealistic situations. Of course the movie has horribly written, stupid, unlikeable characters. But it was entertaining I'll give it that. The film has almost nothing to do with the original 1980 Hixploitation horror film by Charlie Kaufman except for some of the themes and some script lines. And that's ok since that film was even more terrible. Besides the huge amount of suspension of disbelief and the implausible situations and ending, Rebecca De Mornay and Shawn Ashmore's performances were great. It was fun to see Mrs. De Mornay find her The Hand That Rocks The Cradle juicy evilness again (in hillbilly form of course). Couldn't feel sympathy for any of the characters except for George (Ashmore). Still was a fun, gory popcorn thriller.
