It sounds a bit Chinese director A Jia, who once directed "Piranha". I feel that these people are really pragmatic people in the film and television industry. The B-grade films accumulated over the decades are actually a big treasure trove. After reinterpreting the tastes of modern people with new-age technology, the box office may also be good.
In order to celebrate his silver wedding ceremony, the old man took his family on a desert trip in an RV. In the RV were his wife, eldest daughter couple and their only daughter, youngest daughter and son.
There is a saying that says a lot, 97% of the United States has signal coverage, and the perverted killers basically hide in the remaining 3% of the country. The old man's family, unfortunately, met this group of people.
This is a town that was abandoned due to nuclear radiation, and there are only about one member of the extended family left. Over the years, they have formed a complete industrial chain. The wretched old man, who was not exposed to radiation, was responsible for guiding the way. Other family members set traps and ambush passersby who fall into the trap. Afterwards, freaks would rob young girls and kill grown men. The stolen goods from the robbery are sold by the wretched old man to maintain the life of this settlement.
There are two unstable factors in their activities. First of all, the wretched old man is the only normal-looking person in the family, and he is responsible for communicating with the outside world. So, often doing these things, his heart is full of condemnation. Second, the family also has a daughter. Although they are also victims of nuclear pollution, they will not participate in family affairs, and occasionally even stop them from committing murder.
Therefore, this story can be roughly divided into the following modules: going astray, trapped - actively self-help, hindered, loss of family members - in order to save her daughter, anti-kill - outstanding.
Basically, it's such a simple story. The film still looks very uncomfortable because of the characters' shapes.
