Descendants of Deliverance: Tracing the Lineage of the Rural Horror Film

Hello horror fans.

For some time now, I've been trying to gather a comprehensive collection of the rural horror films. Also referred to as "Urbanoia" films, these are descendents of the film "Deliverance" (Boorman, 1972) but, more specifically, they owe a big debt to Hooper's groundbreaking "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (Hooper, 1974).

I have listed all of the ones in my collection below. If ANYONE can think of others, please contribute them to this thread!
