hristi_vasilev The movie starts with an older version of Jane's character writing down his story in a hotel room seemingly afraid of someone (or something) coming for him. A year prior to this, Wilfred's wife was given 100 acres of land by her father. His wife (played by Molly Parker) wants to sell the land and move to St. Louis and use the money to open up a dress shop. Wilfred is displeased with this news and objects to the suggestion since he sees this land as the perfect place. With both of them on opposite sides on what to do, Wilfred's wife suggests that they should just sell the land and split the profit 50/50 and get a divorce on the condition however that she takes their son with her in the city. It is made clear that they do not enjoy being together anymore as the tension slowly rises from the current events.Wilfred sees that his wife Arlene will not let up on her dreams and selling the farm so he devises a plan. He notices that his son has a liking to the neighbor's daughter and that he loves the farm almost as much as Wilfred himself does so he uses him and devises a plan to murder his wife and keep the farm for themselves.Overall the main plot of the film revolves around guilt. We see Wilfred as he tries do cope with the consequences of his actions and the guilt of his deeds. It shows in a fantastic way how one bad decision can ruin not only your life, but the life of everyone around you. The best part about this movie is definitely the acting. Thomas Jane delivers arguably his best performance as Wilfred, a man who seems like a stereotypical "dumb, clueless hillbilly" but is in fact a very terrifying, conniving and cunning individual. He captures his descent into madness perfectly. The cinematography was decent with some very gorgeous shots.The movie is nothing special or groundbreaking but it is still a fantastic film with grizzly and unsettling visuals. It is adapted from King's short story which means that it can be a bit stretched out at times. It captures the source material well but since it is in a different format the pacing is a bit off. But even with the slow pacing the movie did a great job being very tense from beginning to end.
J. (CountJonnie) Those who know Stephen King, know that horror is only a small part of his writing. The most part is description of characters, relations and development. In this movie adaptation Thomas Jane is a father who convinces his son to help him murder his wife, to save their life and land. Only to discover that this takes a toll on their life, which will slowly crumble down and eat him from the inside.Thomas Jane works in his 3rd Stephen King adaptation and after a number of movies he turns out to be a very compelling and convincing actor. All the so called action, happens in the beginning, after which it is up to Jane to showcase his ability to perform despair, fear, loss of hope and regret. In such a way, that with only a hint of horror, the movie keeps you on the edge. The fact that you know how it ends, doesn't matter. This only gives more power to the sense of an inevitable downfall.A decent story, with good cinematography, great acting and a creepy atmosphere thanks to the brilliant music, makes this a must watch for all fans who can appreciate drama in thrillers.
kosmasp Sometimes taking on responsibility or rather acting upon what you think is right, might be the wrong thing. Especially if it is considered a sin (and a bad thing for that matter). If you've read the synopsis, you know what I'm talking about. If not I won't spoil one early on relatively shocking moment. Thomas Jane put a lot of effort in this, that is for sure.His accent may feel weird at the beginning, but you get used to it and you have to admire his passion for his job. He may or may not like the interaction with fans, but when it comes to his craft he really loves what he does and you can tell. Unfortunately there is not much he can play with here. Although I'm pretty sure the book is a good read (might have to check it out sometime) ...
