    Issue #1: Offspring is a sequel to author Jack Ketchum's Off Season. Why the sequel first? Rights issues you say? Too friggin bad then wait on that situation to get cleared up before you just say oh well and make the follow-up first.
    Issue #2: It's shot on what looks like digita...( read more)l and digital is fine for your home videos but when a movie is shot this way it gives it a look of pure amateurism.
    Issue #3: Speaking of amateurism the acting is absolutely atrocious (other than Art Hindle).
    Issue #4: The "score" is nothing more than a poor, annoying recreation of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

    The only things that are passable are the screenplay (written by Ketchum himself) and the gore. Everything else is way under sub par and make even The Lost seem pretty good.

    A ruff and ready looking movie with a hills have eyes theme.Gore hounds will love this and the violents is top up a little too.The acting for most parts is just about passible with no a list stars in this.Story is abit thin and could have been a little longer then 78 mins so that...( read more) they could have expanded on the cannibals story line.Anyway all in all a short and sweet horror movie that do'nt out stay its welcome...

    Amateur looking gorefest that had a couple of tense moments but was mostly pointless violence and gore for no reason but that.

    The movie got alot better the longer you watched it. Not one of his best Book to movie adaptions, but worth watching. I was hoping for a little more since the book was excellent!! Still Disturbing, as only Ketchcum can pull off.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it's dirty and mean, with no one spared from the brutal violence and a satisfying enough ending. I've not read the novels on which this was based, so I can't judge as to the adaptation, but I liked this more than I thought I would, as the ...( read more)Ghost House Underground titles have been as hit or miss as the After Dark series, so maybe my expectations were sufficiently low for this to 'wow' me, if only a bit.

    Give it a rental if you're a Hills Have Eyes fan, you'll probably dig it.

    Low budget and poorly acted, but a good adaptation of the book.

    At times this feels like quite an underrated little horror gem and at times it feels totally incompetent. I would like to see if a Jack Ketchum story would be like if some money was put into it. The lighting made this pretty hard to see at times and some of the situations seemed ...( read more)kind of silly, but this was still a very entertaining watch. Has some moments of brutality and gore, fans of horror will enjoy this. The movie starts off going at a pretty good pace, but slows down towards the end.
