A man-beast is on the prowl in the wastelands of south Texas. One man feeds him every night at 9pm, leaving a dead rabbit on his doorstep which is consumed with much racket. The locals tell stories but mostly shrug it off, until mutilated bodies start to appear. The only thing more repellent than the redneck hunters which make up the cast are the dead and dying animals which are shown in all their gory detail: deer, cows, horses, pigs, cats, snakes... all real, all so unnecessary. Apparently filmmakers today still haven't learned that it is far more effective to let the imagination sketch in the details rather than show scene after scene of graphic imagery.
