road movie and more specifically it falls in the "redneck nightmare" genre. The story revolves around two brothers (played by real life brothers Alan and Jesse Vint) and their one last joy ride before reporting for military duty. They pick up a young female hitch hiker before having car trouble. While stopping to have it fixed, they cross paths with Deputy Morgan. From that point the twists and turns bring us to the unforgettable climax. The movie is known for the blend of humor and intensity.Director
