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.

Jugface (2013)

Starring: Lauren Ashley Carter, Larry Fessenden, Sean Young, Sean Bridgers
Director: Chad Crawford Kinkle

Premise:
A rural community in the woods have always made sacrifice to the creature in the pit in order for protection. When a pregnant teen is chosen to be next, she makes an attempt to run away.

My Take:
A slow burning and subtle movie that takes the viewer in the heart of an interesting Southern, deep woods community and their ways of living. The movie is superbly acted and great restraint by the director. It could have easily been an over the top creature feature and instead leans way more towards a psycological thriller. An outstanding movie with the director being one to watch.

Rating: So Good
