In This Twisted Backwoods True-Crime Horror The Hitchhikers Aren't the Killers — They're the Victims

Imagine a filthy, sadistic, depraved group of relatives targeting unsuspecting travelers who pass through their rural town. The horror genre is no stranger to these brutal redneck families depicted in movies such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House of 1000 Corpses, and Deranged, and this setup often makes for a suffocatingly tense and helpless atmosphere. Glen Stephens’ 2005 true crime horror film Hoboken Hollow, loosely based on the Texas Slave Ranch, is a lesser known movie within this niche, but no less haunting than these horrifying hillbilly stories.
