2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010)

Two privileged rich girls are crossing the country in a camper as part of a reality show. When the camper breaks down in the middle of nowhere and there is is no cell reception, they decide to camp for the night. The next morning, they wake to find the Pleasant Valley Traveling Jamboree set up right across from their camper.

While on the surface, it appears to be a carnival, it is actually a group of hillbilly cannibals seeking retribution for Northern aggression during the Civil War. Normally they kill Yankees who visit their home town festival. But the local law enforcement is suspicious due to all the missing people who visit town. So the hillbillys have decided to take their killing on the road. And what better place to kill Northerns than up North?

The reality show producer is thrilled to see the Jamboree since now they won't need to travel south. They can just pretend.

I'm not a big fan of hillbilly inbred cannibal movies, especially when they aren't that good. It was too over the top and the reality show concept of the Paris and Nicole clones were annoying.
