Using machetes and machine guns, they cut down several Haitians on the spot, then hunted down and butchered many who had tried to flee.

And they leave the movie with golden word of mouth. "I saw a lot of couples looking at each other sideways as they walked out," says Jim Stegall, 35, a Miami ad salesman. "The meaning of that look was obvious: Don't even think about having an affair." Director Lyne says, "I've had men ring me up and say, 'Thanks a million, buddy, you've ruined it for us.'
