Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Drawing inspiration from the myth of Sawney Bean and his Scottish cannibal clan, director Wes Craven here crafted the best of his early low-budget horror epics. Brutal desert dwellers lay murderous siege to stranded innocent campers in the Scream maestro's exploration of depravity and the survival instinct. Using mirror images of two families at the opposing extremes of humanity, Craven's sharp sense of suspense and his willingness to take shock images to their limits carry a potent charge. The introduction of the extraordinary-looking Michael Berryman to the roster of unpleasant characters only adds extra punch to the charnel-house terror invoked.
