Nice slice of Southern Gothic episode
21 September 2012 | by (The Last New Jersey Drive-In on the Left) – See all my reviews

Fugitive Clyde (well played with rascally charm by D.B. Sweeney) is on the lam from an angry mob. He seeks refuge in a decrepit mansion owned by an elderly woman. Unbeknownst to Clyde, said creepy abode has an unusual curse attached to it. Director Stephen Hopkins, working from a flavorsome script by Teller and Colman deKay, relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, offers a vivid evocation of the Deep South backwoods setting, and completely nails the pungently brooding downhome Southern Gothic atmosphere. Moreover, Rachel Ticotin excels in the juicy dual roles of both an ugly old crone -- kudos also to the make-up artists for the remarkable old age make-up -- and a much more attractive younger gal. The always reliable R. Lee Ermey contributes a lively turn as a good ol' boy sheriff. The ironic conclusion is quite satisfying. Rick Bota's stylish cinematography provides a dusky golden-hued look. Jay Ferguson's twangy score hits the harmonic spot. A neat show.
