...sheriff Axel Palmer (Kerr Smith), his wife Sarah (horror honey Jaime King) and the mine owner's son Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles), who was Sarah's beau back in the previously awful day. To secure an R rating, the film has halved corpses, a fetus eviscerated from its victim's body and, possibly a first, a major role (local party girl Irene, played by the fourth-billed Kelly Rue) that requires humping, fleeing and screaming, performed entirely in the nude except for high heels...
...head and its comes out through his eye, the orb jutting into the audience like the garnish on a kebab skewer. Kudos for that, and for the variations the filmmakers run on the mischief a pickax can work on the human body.

And last weekend, at a Greensboro, N.C., theater where he attended a Notorious premiere, a member of the audience was shot, taken to a nearby hospital, treated and released...
