The commentary for this little-known indie horror is great, the only drawback being that there's six different people, two or three of whom barely say a word. I was hoping to hear more from Angela Bettis about her process or experience working on the movie, as her performance is, I think, one of the most amazing ever committed to film. The track is dominated by director Lucky McKee and the editor, whose name I don't remember, and actress Nicole Hiltz. The track is pretty evenly balanced between behind-the-scenes info and general silly banter. At one point, inexplicably, they stop talking and launch into a harmonica solo. It's very bizarre, but enormously fun to listen to.
Commentary 2: Director Lucky McGee, composer Jaye Barnes Luckett, production designer Leslie Keel, editor Rian Johnson and "craft services guy" Benji Rating:8.3/10 (3 votes) [graph]Login to vote or review

This track is very similar to the first in tone, with the notable difference that the crew is joined by a very strange fellow who is identified as, but almost certainly is not, the craft services guy, Benji. I have no idea where the hell he came from, but it's another informative/amusing track. You can tell these folks have been friends for a long time. I also enjoyed the comments of Jay Barnes Luckett, who contributed a wonderful low-budget score to the film.
