Synopsis:
Droves of the rich and beautiful have invaded the small town of Brawlton, forcing out the many generations of good-natured, wholesome townspeople. On the outside, these new inhabitants seem to have it all, but they soon learn that there is more to life than Botox, silicone, and spreading rumors while sipping on over-priced martinis.
There is something lurking in the woods, and it is hungry for blood.
Review:
Brawlton, a small quiet town once full of pride and comfort. Now the Hollywood elite have pushed their way in and taken over, causing the townspeople to leave. Their businesses have been taken over and their once life of comfort no longer exists.
So begins a look into the lives of the new occupents. Vain and catty people with broken relationships and they are all under the watchful eye of something hiding in the darkness of the woods. Ever lurking and hungry for the blood of broken hearts and lonely souls.
There is not only a dreadfulness of so many loosing their lifestyle and their homes, but there is also the creeping dread of a monstrous being deep in the woods, coming out to feed its hunger.
The elite characters, even though they are quite unlikeable, were entertaining as they banter over drinks and meals. Always trying to be the best of the best. They made me feel all kinds of emotions, which is what good character development should do.
The two horrors within co-exist and as it comes to an ending, a resolution occurs which I thought was very well done.
An intermingle of drama, horror, and a creature feature.
"There is a creature that lurks right outside the city, in the shadows, in the night. This creature terrorizes young women, along its path, eating goats and cows alike. It looks for the lonely, the entitled, the sad, the women needing more attention and romance to be had. So listen well, women of the land, it is best not to expect too much from your man. And you should always be careful what you wish for, and love and appreciate your man, no matter what, forever more."
