I guess I'm not surprised a thread on this low-budget, independent film has not been started. It's only showing in NJ, PA & DE, starting tonight. If it's well received, I'd assume other markets might get it.
Is anyone that knows about the Jersey Devil, and lives in the area looking forward to this like I am? Unfortunately I can't see it tonight, but I will soon.
A little back ground about the story from this site.

The origin of the creature dates back to the 18th century. The story goes as follows: when Mrs. Leeds, an indigent woman living in secluded poverty with her twelve starving children, found out she was to have another child exclaimed: "I don't want any more children! Let it be a devil." When the child was born, it was horribly deformed. It crawled from the womb and up the chimney and out into the woods. It is rumored to have fed on small children and livestock while haunting the area for years to come. Hence, the creatures other name is the Leeds Devil.Throughout the years, stories have been told of unsolved murders, and creature sitings of The Jersey Devil in the Pine Barren's. For those that don't know NJ, the Pine Barrens is located throughout parts of southern NJ. I'm right in the thick of it
I remember hearing these stories as a child. I'm really looking forward to this. Here are some more links:
