Jug Face (2013)
Written by: Chad Crawford Kinkle
Directed by: Chad Crawford Kinkle
Cast: Lauren Ashley Carter (Ada), Daniel Manche (Jessaby), Larry Fessenden (Sustin), Sean Bridgers (Dawai), Alex Maizus (Emaciated Boy), Sean Young (Loriss), Mathieu Whitman (Bodey)
I gotta say that this movie could be about anything. Let me present a few possible scenarios: A poor, homely, simpleton girl that is abused by those more fortunate than her, and hopefully, she executes a cold and calculating plan of revenge using supernatural means? Nope. Maybe a backwoods girl possessed by something unholy whose only salvation is an exorcism by a righteous crusader? No, but closer than the first option.
“Jug Face” begins with Ada, a young rural girl getting crudely deflowered in the woods by her boyfriend perhaps, unfortunately more like her brother. A few weeks later, she suspects and then confirms that she is pregnant.

Title: Jug Face Director: Chad Crawford Kinkle Starring: Lauren Ashley Carter, Larry Fessenden, Sean Young, Daniel Manche, Mathieu Whitman, Sean Bridgers A rising tide of dread and desperation marks “Jug Face,” a low-budget, independent slice of Southern Gothic characterized by a solid technical package. The freshman feature effort of writer-director Chad Crawford Kinkle, this psychologically rooted horror film recalls the movies of Lucky McKee — and with good reason, since the “May” and “Sick Girl” director serves as an executive producer here. The story unfolds in a rural, backwoods community, where moonshine peddled once a month to city folk seems to be the only connection to the outside world. Teenager [ Read More ]

Face of Another: Kinkle’s Backwoods Horror a Promising, Faulty Debut
Like a low-fi hybrid of Winter’s Bone and Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery comes Chad Crawford Kinkle’s debut, Jug Face. Lucky McKee’s name listed in the producer credits (as well as featuring Sean Bridgers from The Woman) perhaps promises more redneck grotesqueries than the film actually delivers, but one can’t deny that Kinkle has crafted an intriguing creepathon that’s just a bit too rough around the edges to be as effective as its potential suggests. While the film establishes an enjoyable, foreboding tension, the film loses its element of surprise about the time overtly supernatural elements are introduced, unable to maintain the subtle sense of insane, isolated communities it has so painstakingly prepared.
