Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.

The story

Farmer Vincent Smith and his sister Ida run a motel attached to a farm where they capture unsuspecting travelers, bury them alive, fatten them up and then harvest their bodies as ingredients for his famous brand of "smoked meats."
