The madness of rural or backwoods communities have always been a staple of the horror genre, but it's one that continues to inspire filmmakers. And the latest journey to the eerie is "Jug Face," a Slamdance entry this year in Park City, written and directed by Chad Crawford Kinkle.
Jug Face (2013) has arrived on Blu-Ray. Laser Lemming's Chris Patton knows not everyone has seen it, but they should. Chris writes:
"A young woman is dick-torn for fun, impregnated by her brother, and sells herself to lies to survive inside a backwoods cult. Director and writer Chad Crawford Kinkle uses his noteworthy script to drop Ada (Lauren Ashley Carter) and us into a normal looking pit. Funny thing though, the pit is a chamber of God’s vengeance, which would be unimaginable if it didn’t define the common American “You’re not a Christian, so you’re against us!” mentality."
Jug Face got hit-hard in reviews for being "more of a drama than a horror story."
I don't buy it. It is a solid, great low-budget horror film that delivers a disturbing fable.
Chris of Laser Lemming Writes "Halloween is this Thursday, and many television stations will air lame specials while cable stations try to jam silly schlock down your throats. Spend your Halloween wisely by watching these excellent films. We are not loading for the most scary, but we are aiming to add really great films to your Halloween ammunition. This list will consist of modern films made over the last decade. Let’s begin"
