The Curse of Buckout Road (2017)

Three students in a humanities class do a project on urban legends and mythology, concentrating on local legends about Buckout Road.  When their teacher hangs herself at the sight of the legend, a local psychiatrists son, who is home from the military, is suspected.

This is supposedly based on a real urban legend, but I hope it’s different from the main mythos of the movie. Supposedly if you go to Buckout Road and  you honk your horn three times, some crazy albinos will come out of the woods and eat you.  

Cleo the sheriffs daughter and Aaron the psychiatrists son start to think there is something supernatural going on when both start having dreams about Buckout Road.  The other two guys working with Cleo on the project are also having strange dreams and get picked up sleep walking near Buckout Road. So tensions are running high and get even worse when the psychiatrist dies in an accident. 

This is one of those movies where you have so many questions at the end, including if there are multiple suicides, legends, and something that occurs repeatedly, why has no one noticed it?  Shouldn’t the legend have brought attention to what is really going on in this town?
