*** (out of 4)

The second season of Masters of Horror kicks off with Tobe Hooper's entry. I haven't viewed all of season one yet but so far Hooper's film has been the worst so I didn't have high hopes with this one. As a child, a Sheriff (Sean Patrick Flanery) witnessed his father turn crazy and kill his mother but he also saw the entire town go crazy with suicide and murder. Twenty-four years later he begins to feel the town is once again going crazy with strange murders and more suicides. I was pleasantly shocked to see how much I enjoyed this film. I enjoyed it so much that I don't have any problem in saying this is Hooper's best work since The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The film has some nice suspense and Hooper keeps the mystery going very well. There's some extremely graphic violence that actually works quite nice but the ending is just downright stupid and pulls the film down some.
