Offspring (2009)





Offspring, based on the novel by Jack Ketchum, follows a retired small town sheriff as he is presented with a cannibalistic family that he thought he stopped ten years ago. An unsuspecting couple and their new born baby and family friend and her son are invaded by this savage woman and her clan, the sheriff follows their trail to the bloody cave that is their abbatoir. Now, this movie hardly deserves a review, but for those of you who care, the gore is good, but is presented few and far between. The acting, is horrible, don't bother even thinking that I'm being too harsh because it is just horrendous. Sorry folks, on the plus side this is pretty much verbatum of the novel, so at least we have that, if you don't feel like taking on the book, just watch the movie. Highlight below for a spoiler:

In the movie you believe the sheriff dies, in the book, he lives.
