BradWesley123's Movie Journal- October 2018 (23 movies items)

When the movie works, which is more often than it should, it's mostly do to craft; Iain Softley's lingering direction, which immerses the viewer in the sweat-drenched gothic landscape of Louisiana, with palpable horror around every corner. The cast, too, does some solid work, especially G"
