Two sadistic brothers have dug into the back country and, from the deep freeze of winter to the dog days of summer, anyone who crosses their path is dead meat.
The film was released on digital on 22 February 2021 and on DVD on 8 March.
Martin Unsworth of Starburst rated the film 3 stars out of 5, writing that "While it won’t win any awards for originality, it’s a fun watch for those with a stomach and in the mood for another ‘hillbillies with a cannibal brother’ flick." Chris Cummings of Nerdly rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5, writing that "It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s enjoyable". Phuong Le of The Guardian rated the film 2 stars out of 5, writing that the film is "pretty much dead meat, an amalgam of worn-out tropes unsuccessfully zombified to life." Film critic Anton Bitel wrote that while the film "is neither original nor particularly demanding viewing", it "plays out its borrowed tropes with knowing, bloody efficiency". Film critic Kim Newman wrote that while the film "throws in a few bits of eccentricity (one butcher coaching another through a Hamlet soliloquy) and frames some nice widescreen landscapes", it "defaults to how mean-spirited-can-you-get turns of plot."
