After seeing the shocking scenes, one fan wrote: “Well, ‘Crushed by a caravan’ is a new one.”
Another said: “No! Just leave Vinny and Liv alone! They’ve gone through addiction and abusive family members… just let them get their damn dog!”
While a third added: “Not Vinny and Liv!”
As a fourth wondered :”Well I’m guessing Liv is a goner.”
Director Tim O’Mara has revealed the death toll won’t stop there.
He said: “No one is safe. There’s a possibility of eight or nine characters not being around for very long.
“We do go to the hospital on a number of visits, a number of people hurt by debris flying around the village, there are accidents in the woods, trees falling on people.
“There are massive accidents at the farm which might attract the attention of one or two characters.
“And there’s a massive problem in the village that will involve two of the other characters.
“Plus there’s some stunts in the woods nearby.
“And of course, there’s a wedding. So when you mix all of that up, all these ingredients, it’s going to be sensational.
“No one is safe.”
