Description: Two young couples taking a tour through the back roads of Texas come across a local legend of Dr. Satan. The four try searching for the tree Dr. Satan was hung from, and pickup a hitchhiker named Baby. She takes them back to her house where they meet the Firefly family, and soon learn their dark secrets.

Gore/Violence: There was quite a bit of gore, and violence in the movie. You get to see skinned people, brains coming out of a mans head, and tones of dead people.

Body Count: This is a tricky one. If you are counting people that were staring in the movie, all but one died, but it's safe to assume she was going to die. (Excluding the Firefly family, of course, since they were doing the killing) But there was also 100's of dead bodies/corpses in the movie.

Nudity & Sexuality: Unfortunately the nudity was only at the beginning of the movie. You get to see a picture of some boobies, then in the opening theme you get shots of topless girls.

Death Scenes: Most of the death scenes were pretty cool. The opening scene at Captain Spaulding was pretty nice with the gun shot to the head, then repeated shots to the other robber.

Acting/Storyline: I thought the acting was very well, and you can notice a lot of good chemistry between the actors in the film. The storyline was a basic Texas Chainsaw Massacre type theme, but with a twist. I enjoyed the murderous family, with a twist.

Final Rating: I thought this was a great movie. It is basically the type of movie any horror fan would like. Captain Spaulding is the best movie character to come along in a long time.
