Jerimiah Douglas helmed this chapter in Dustin Ferguson's "Meathook Massacre" series and brings an atmospheric and spooky aura to the proceedings. The story involves a young woman who doesn't quite fit in with her new family. But what she doesn't realize is that her family descends from a long line of cannibals, working under the guise of a sinister project known as "66636."
What I like about this series is that each film looks and feels totally unique from the last, but there is enough connective tissue between films that they stay married to one-another. Robert Lankford, in his sixth outing as the series' slasher "Bubba," returns in this installment and is used quite effectively, especially during a chase sequence featuring YouTube sensation Shawn C. Phillips. I liked how Douglas kept Bubba in the shadows a little more this time, making the character seem more ominous and scary. Deborah Dutch also makes a return appearance, her first in the series since the second film, and she is always a welcome addition. I hope if the series continues that Dutch will reprise her role again and again. The storyline was very engaging and the film gives us a main character who is easy to root for. Overall, this is definitely in my top two of the series and the combined talents of Douglas/Ferguson really shined through in this one.
I hope the "Meathook Massacre" series continues to live on in this tradition!
