It's 1965 and the residents of Pleasant Valley, Georgia are celebrating their centennial and they divert six tourists to their town. There, the unsuspecting six are treated as guests of honor but in fact will soon be the victims. The centennial the town is celebrating is its own destruction at the hands by a group of Union soldiers during the Civil War and their goal is revenge. One by one, they kill their guests of honor until only two remain. They flee but can't quite convince the police to help them.

Movie Quote(s):
- Tom White: Has it occurred to you that nobody has told us what this centennial is all about? Now, this is 1965, and a hundred years ago it was 1865, right? So, what happened in 1865? Terry Adams: It was the ending of Civil War. The war between states! Tom White: Well then you tell me why would a southern town want northerners as guests of honor at the centennial. It must has something to do with what happened a hundred years ago. So, something is very wrong with this town.
-
[Upon finding the plaque that explains the town was attacked by Union Soldiers during the Civil War] Terry Adams: What does it mean? Tom White: It means this centennial is a centennial of blood vengeance! It means... It means we're here to be killed!
-
Tom White: Look, officer, I don't know how to convince you of this, but... we're not crazy! Policeman: Mister, I didn't say you was crazy. Nothing like that, I just think it's mighty peculiar!
-
Rufus Tate: We got us some good 'uns! Dogged if we don't!
