Well Presented Opening Sequences, But The Film Steadily Fades Into Shapelessness.
This low-budget work, an ambitious mixture of mood and plotting by musician Chad Etchison, is set and shot in southern Georgia, relating of a rural community deputy sheriff, Jack Collins, who after being reinstated to his law enforcement assignment following a three month leave of absence spent in an Atlanta rehabilitation facility for alcohol addiction, soon finds himself dealing with the death of a long-time friend, Harlan, victim of an apparent job-related accident, although Jack believes that he was in reality murdered, and as he investigates the incident, dangerous complications arise for him. Etchison and his wife Mary play in featured roles and, along with cinematographer Jim Hunter, produce the film, effectively creating a sense of dread in a viewer through most of the first half, but unfortunately the narrative completely unravels and, unquestionably due to overly restricted financing, storyline elements are not advanced and a stylish tone established early on, largely due to Hunter’s inventive visual compositions with camera and lighting, is dissipated into chaos. A love triangle, and the involvement of local acolytes of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in cocaine trafficking, are among several screenplay components that remain underdeveloped as the film abruptly concludes, failing to yield even that manner of satisfaction that comes from ambiguity, and since Etchison has asserted that director Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER is the principal inspiration here, it is hardly surprising that as the storyline becomes a puzzling farrago, the camera skills of Hunter become the cardinal virtue.

good for me
I finally found this movie and liked it a lot. This movie looks and feels a bit like a long episode of twin peaks! Thanks to the creative use of light and camera angles it has lots of atmosphere. The acting is a bit wooden here and there but that didn’t really bother me, and maybe it was the rather slow editing that made some of the actors look a bit bored sometimes. The plot is actually very simple but sadly a lot of elements that are hinted at aren’t fully worked out. But there’s a constant sense of foreboding throughout the movie that kept me intrigued until the end. The makers did some research into the world of the occult and it helps to know a bit about crowley to really get it I guess. In the end the (anti)hero receives a serpents kiss from the girl that tempted him back into alcoholism, which probably means that he’ll always be under her influence from then on. All in all a great effort on a small budget, and I’m curious as to what the director will do next. If you like hard to classify movies with a dark atmosphere check it out. In my opinion it’s comparable to ‘the Indian runner’ by sean penn, and David lynch’s work.
