GRIMM’S EYE VIEW:
The Bastard Love Child Of… RABID DOGS and CHILDREN OF THE CORN
An elegant example of genre splicing, combining mean-spirited, gripping, gritty crime drama with down on the farm rural gothic, this debut feature from Ti West associate Padraig Reynolds is the latest offering from America’s new wave of independent horror filmmakers. Boasting an intelligent, unsettling use of location and music, sharp dialogue, strong performances from the inimitable AJ Bowen, Anessa Ramsey (YELLOW BRICK ROAD, THE SIGNAL), and Katherine Randolph (KNIFEPOINT), this tight, tense, troubling little movie will leave you panting for more.
