Nicely shot! I'd love to know the camera and assorted sordid details, but that's not really "reviewy" of me. This is a taut horror thriller with enough blood and pathos to make it worth the watch. In rural Mississippi, tragedy begets tragedy. A young priest with a blistered past meets his assassin-siren. What could possibly go wrong? Thanks to my buddy Greg for the nod on this film.
This is a good bad movie. Stiff Acting and dialogue make this an instant cult classic.
Not for the faint hearted. really liked the 70's stylised approach. Purgatory Road are for those who like to watch horror movies with blood and glory. Well worth a watch
-1 Star for a stupid opening, 'We're ruined! Ruined!!!'''''
Oh it picks up. Father Vincent knows how to take some confession. I tells you what!!!!
+1 Star for Confessions!!!!!!
The voice of the radio Host reminded me so much of R. Lee Ermey. I certainly do miss him so!!!!!
So far I'm seeing this is not a HORROR movie at all. But Mary certainly is one cool villain!!!
-1 Star for the 'confession' of the biker, her 'confession' seemed very fake......
Oh so I see the tie now to the opening. Psycho man became psycho man over dad's suicide over being robbed. Altho how a person can be completely ruined over 1 burglary of their home safe is beyond me. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket??? Always a simple simple rule to live by.
LOL...-1 Star for how Mary hooks up with the brothers as their assistant , so lame.....
Okay I guess the horror is in the group psychosis......
I love Mary's boots btw.
It's weird how everyone who uses a knife in the movie stabs in about the same spot. Little Trivial Tidbit.
The end was probably what needed to happen. Definitely didn't make 100% sense so it gets no bonus.
3/10

From the lovely opening shot, this thriller grabs you attention. Really well shot, the color pallette is pretty great. Lots of cool blues and oranges.
The casting is strong. The story is compelling. Has some good strong gore bits. The suspense is thick throughout.
Really emotional climax.
