Last Kind Words (2012)
Much better if seen as a story
I don't understand the negative reviews and saw this movie. True, it's slow but it weaves a good Southern story. I think people are upset that it wasn't a typical slasher flick where a clueless girl gets chased by a madman with a huge ax and gets chopped up. In other words, people are too preconditioned to demand blood and gore in a movie to call it "horror." I totally disagree. The Blair Witch Project had very little actual blood and it creeped me out. So did The Ring. It cost me two nights of sleep! A teen moves to a farm with his parents and is harshly warned to never go into the woods. Of course, his curiosity overwhelms him. He meets a beautiful girl and wants to know more about her but that's all I can really say. I can add that he's not sure if she's real or not and he stumbles across an old scandal that shakes up everyone around him. Will please those who like slow, suspenseful dramas. The photography is also gorgeous and really lends a spooky feel to the movie.
