OFFSPRING-2009-This one is about the cannibalistic offspring of some lighthouse operator that terrorize a town in Northern Maine (but it was filmed in Michigan). Canadian actor Art Hindle plays a alcoholic ex-police officer who heads a local force to hunt down the killers (they also speak their own language) who like to steal babies. It's very nasty, not very well made and the cannibals are unintentionally funny sometimes. It was kind of like THE HILLS HAVE EYES hits the suburbs and features gore and nudity. It's based on a novel by Jack Ketchum (he also wrote the screenplay) who's other novels RED and THE GIRL NEXT DOOR were made into films. Director Andrew van den Houten also made a movie called HEADSPACE.

Have you seen The Girl Next Door? I actually really liked that one. Not seen any other Ketchum adaptations.
No, I haven't seen it. I'll look for it!
