Terrible acting, decent story
I don't want to disparage the actors, but this acting is probably some of the worst I've ever seen.
However to be fair, that may also be the responsibilities of the director and editors too.
At several times various actors were talking over each other, and not in a way that seemed intentional. There's a scene about halfway through with one couple and the sheriff, and the sheriff keeps trying to interject but one person keeps talking over them.
I keep trying to come up with theories about how this happened. Did they each get a different version of the screenplay?
Getting lines wrong or missing your cue is something that happens, but someone should be paying attention.
On a positive note, the story is actually quite good and original for the genre. However the story could've been set in modern times and not changed much, but with better results.
