Ask anyone about the pairing of "movie" and "Georgia," this is the one that is going to come to mind immediately...unless they are under the age of say 25. Most people can't name any other horror related film set in the state of Georgia. One of the things that has always struck me about the film as a southerner myself (and the novel it's based on) is that it's urbanite southerners who are the victims. It's not some revenge fantasy based on a bunch of dumb-asses from somewhere up north stumbling into the "inbed south." It was filmed in the state, with some signigicant locations in the South Carolina standing in as needed. It is so often listed in top "adventure" films list....more like misadventure!!
