Absolutely Fantastic

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I am recommending this film on ambiance alone. I wont bother summarizing the movie, since many other reviewers have already provided recaps. I will say that I have been on a horror/thriller binge lately, and I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It's a B-film and you can tell the budget is not large, but it's light and entertaining. Not a slasher in the over-the-top vein of Friday the 13th, this film cultivates a story and slowly builds an atmosphere of suspense.In the Hell of Dixie succeeds largely because the characters are likable and easy to relate to. The viewer will recognize themselves and their friends, past and present, in these doomed hunters, which makes the impact of their deaths all the more vicious. Its not a masterpiece of cinema, but I do think stands apart from the other low-rated horror choices on instant streaming.It doesn't match the execution of other contemporary rivals but overall it has good suspense and death scenes, and decent music throughout.

If you're a fan of old school horror then this is a flick that you should check out. The visuals, performances and music give it kind of a 70s vibe that works well for the indie flick. It's amazing how much work goes into making a film of any kind so I always have a lot of respect for anyone that can take an idea for inception to completion.The southern backwoods setting is one that several viewers will enjoy, given that it has become somewhat of a staple to the horror genre. It won't be a film for everyone, but those that dig the style will most likely enjoy the heck out of it. Grab some popcorn, plan yourself on the couch and dig in for some independent horror filmmaking fun!

After watching this film, I had to go look it up. This is definitely an exploitation style slasher, but what I found intriguing about this film is that it actually has a good story coinciding with the kills, which goes against the norm of a typical slasher film. It has a 1970's style feel to it with the country Sheriff (he was good) reminiscing of Macon County Line or Walking Tall. That's not the only aspect that reminded me of 70's cinema, the other is it takes it's time developing and gradually picks up steam. I like that. There were some rough areas in the acting, but overall I expect that from a B-movie horror. My wife and I both felt the lead guy, Ned, (Eric F. Adams) was really good and so was one of the girls, Hope (Emilia Graves). The music score was surprisingly solid, but the sound (dialogue) was crummy in spots; I guess that's a direct result of the low budget. It also a psychedelic feel to it with bizarre flashback scenes which I did not understand, but then again, I never understood any of Italian horror.

Usually I eject these micro budget horrors after about ten minutes, but I have to say that this film was quite entertaining. There is some crazy lady in a bloody dress that is running around killing these hunters one by one. I'm no hunter, but this film gives you a really interesting insight into the world of country hunting camp guys. Some of the camp members pick up some cute girls in town and you know how that is going to end. The acting was solid and the kills had an old school feel, no CGI, which I really liked. I read where the budget was around $30,000, which is hard to imagine, but for such a small budget, they created a darn good horror flick. I'll take this one over some million dollar films any day.
