The premise

On their way to Spring Break, college kids take a detour through an old Southern town. The people of Pleasant Valley insist the kids stay for their annual barbecue celebration... but instead of getting a taste of the old South, the old South gets a taste of them!

Horror Vault's take

A group of college students detour off the beaten path and stumble into Pleasant Valley, a backwater Southern town whose hospitality hides something deeply sinister. Fronted by a gleefully unhinged Robert Englund, the locals are throwing a grand annual celebration — and the guests of honor have no idea what they're in for. This gleefully over-the-top remake cranks the gore and dark comedy to outrageous levels, channeling grindhouse excess with a wicked Civil War twist.
