Skip it—this remake of the 1971 cult classic trades psychological tension for predictable southern gothic clichés and doesn't justify its own existence. Unless you're a completionist who needs to see every home-invasion thriller made in the last decade, your time is better spent watching the original or literally anything else.

Plot

A young couple moves to a quaint southern town. Soon their perfect getaway turns out to become a living hell when dark secrets and lethal passions spiral out of control.
