I really wanted to like this film a lot, but came away from it thinking it was undercooked -- about half a movie. There was so much they could have done with the idea, but really didn't. Many of the Mudcatters here could have written a funnier take on the folk scare. The nicest folkie touch in the film was the brief parody of the backyard scene in the Weavers reunion film. Some of the other kooky bits were funny (Fred and Sure-Florence). (The weird song at the end of the credits, by which time I was the only person in the theatre, was pretty good too). Not remotely in the league of Spinal Tap.

yours, Peter T.
