The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Child of God (2014)

Starring: Scott Haze, Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Parrack
Director: James Franco

Premise:
A "slow" man is kicked out of his home and forced to live in the wilderness where he has a series of violent interactions with the townsfolk.

My Take:
An incredible performance by Scott Haze. Some of the subject matter will turn people away, as it stays close to the book, with it's depiction of necrophilia and rape and the main character's moves into increasingly violent acts.

Rating: So Good
