Just some initial thoughts.
Very valid point.

1) I think the Redneck sub-genre can be broadened to Redneck/ Cannibal.

2) Human Monsters was supposed to cover Frankenstein-type films. I think I Spit On Your Grave and the August Underground series can be classified under Splatterpunk, given their overall feel is that of shocking and gruesome cinema. Either that, or we may have to enter a new sub-genre "Human Atrocity", or merge Splatterpunk with that.
