Fantastic film!!!  I loved it!  I laughed so much my stomach and face hurt.  The writing and acting were amazing. 

Sam Rockwell was brilliant.  I love his acting.  He was so funny and I actually wondered if a bit of the film was improv. 

There was violence in the movie, but a lot of it ended up being funny.  Some of it was just so unexpected you couldn't help but laugh. 

See this movie - you will laugh out loud. 

Favorite Scene:  In the desert around the fire when Billy shared his story.
Favorite Quote:  The Quaker Psychopath

First off, this is a SyFy channel movie.  Second, it's close to Halloween so I'm partial to scary movies right now.

I did find this horror movie to be right up my alley in horror films.  It was funny and actually scared me in a couple places.  The acting wasn't that great and it was a low budget film, but I think they did a good job with what they had. 

Seeing Morgan Fairchild in the movie was kinda funny.  I loved the scene where she was talking to her dolls.  That was just classic for me. 

I'd say this is worth seeing as a Halloween flick.  It's amusing.  And I think there may be an American Horror House 2!!! I'd watch it. 

Favorite Scene:  The one pledge getting pushed out the window and the poor PI's reaction.
