I had heard terrible things about this movie but it turned out to be pretty good. It doesn't take itself very seriously, at times it seemed like a spoof on slash movies. Not only did it have its fun moments but also scary and tense moments too. Its about a brother and sister team who run a motel and make smoked sausage on the side. Their sausage is the best around and the secret ingredient is human flesh. Their victims are knocked out with some kind of gas, planted in the ground (how absurd), have their vocal cords cut, then are fattened up for sausage time. There is a good dueling chainsaw fight scene between a sheriff and the suasage maker with the sausage maker wearing a pigs head mask. Tense and funny at the same time. Highly recommended for an entertaining evening.
