I watched this after hearing about it from the director. One of the interesting things to me was that it starts out with a tone that reminded me of 80's era horror movies (my favorite sub-genre), then shifts to a steadily paced crime drama for the rest of the film. Some of the scenes were a little less polished than others, but, for the budget they were working with, I enjoyed The Dirty Kind and think it's definitely worth watching.
