Killing the Netflix List
Jug Face excited me with its trailer last year and I have been pretty excited to get to see it. It is about a backwoods community fueled by superstition and sacrifice. It focuses on a young girl who finds she is next in line to be given to "the pit" by finding her likeness made in to an ugly jug, a type of folk art which you can read about here. Anyway she doesn't want to be sacrificed, and has other secrets to keep from her family besides. The tension builds as to whether she can deal with this situation. It is a well put together movie that makes the most of its budget. There are some supernatural elements to film as well, but they did not hit that well with me. And some of the editing and visual effects involving them as well did not really thrill me either. The script and acting are actually pretty solid, considering. If you are in the mood for an original supernatural thriller, definitely give this one a go.
