A group of four young adults are on a road trip to do research for a book on roadside attractions. After a stop at Captain Spaulding’s Museum of Monsters and Madmen, they head out to look for the tree from which Dr. Satan was hanged. They pick up a hitchhiker, a young woman named Baby, who will lead them to her family’s house for more horrors than they ever asked for.

 This is a very cool throwback to such classics as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with a touch of dark comedy to it. It is a lot of fun, very entertaining. The storytelling gets a little messy in execution at times, but, overall, I very much enjoyed.
