"Southern Fried" Death Metal

Basically, I'm looking for some Death Metal that feels really primitive and evokes images of "off-the-beaten-path" horror movies. I can't explain it very well but I mean stuff like the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Hills Have Eyes" and "Wrong Turn". Stuff that's really brutal and creepy at the same time and makes you think of someone being chased through a cornfield by an axe-wielding maniac, inbred cannibals, decrepit old houses in the middle of nowhere, full of decaying corpses and torture devices etc. As long as they didn't over-do it, some samples from horror movies would be welcome as well. I think a lot of Slam and Deathgrind bands may sound like this but I'm not sure. Sorry if I'm being too broad.
 
Bile - Camp Blood
Gorelord - Norweigan Chainsaw Massacre
Bone Gnawer - Feast of Flesh
Denial Fiend - They Rise
 
Alrighty, I had a feeling those were right...

Here's a couple more that actually play out like a horror movie, and are fantastic:

The Grotesquery - Tales of the Coffin Born
Impaled - Death After Life

You might try Mortician too, but their music is absolutely saturated with samples from horror movies.

Edit:
Also check out Impetigo - Horror of the Zombies

if you havent already. They were really the first to do the whole horror movie thing and are probably the best band I've rec'd in this thread.

I really like the sound of The Grotesquery, Impaled and Impetigo. I've heard mixed opinions on Mortician but I think I'll eventually pick up Chainsaw Dismemberment based on the awesome album artwork. Thanks again.
