Description
"Until this day, how well the house had kept its peace. How carefully it had inquired, "Who goes there? What's the password?" and, getting no answer from lonely foxes and whining cats, it had shut up its windows and drawn shades in an old-maidenly preoccupation with selfβprotection which bordered on mechanical paranoia. It quivered at each sound, the house did. If a sparrow brushed a window the shade snapped up. The bird, startled, flew off! No, not even a bird must touch the house! The house was an altar with ten thousand attendants, big, small, servicing attending, in choirs. But the gods had gone away, and the ritual of the religion continued senselessly, uselessly."From "There Will Come Soft Rains" Copyrighted (C) by Ray Bradbury

Thanks. Probably got a hefty dose of radiation. They pretty tough, house sparrows.

Radiation doesn't enlarge birds, I mean, it could possibly get slightly bigger, but it would also mean that something strange would happen to it. Morphing into another creature because of radation doesn't have just positive results. XD

Basically, it's about a family on a road trip who become stranded in the Nevada desert, and are hunted by a clan of deformed, deranged cannibals in the surrounding hills. Never saw the 1977 original by Wes Craven or the 2006 remake by Alexandre Aja and I don't want too!

Sounds kinda crappy. Watched the trailer, I can't say I'm much for budget movies with bad stories.. :/
I mean, this is a pure gore film, the worse the plot is, the more gore there is.

A big budget waste of money and time.
