Featured reviews
I knew going in that this was one of those films that I couldn't compare to a mainstream film. I read all the critic reviews, saw all the disdain for it. To my surprise, it was watchable, and to be fair I've seen weaker plots come out of big budget Hollywood movies. It reminded me a bit of 1998's U-turn, and I'm sure fans of lurid, under-the-radar cinema will find something to enjoy here at least.
And of course there is Joe, who you know from the beginning is a nutcase but you can't help but find him appealing. The actor is definitely a looker. Honestly I don't know whether or not his gay scene was bait or not, and I don't really care (it was kinda hot - until it wasn't).
All in all a very rough, small budget endeavor that plays it a bit safe for the crowd it was aiming for and it shows its weaknesses throughout, though I can't help but feel that with some proper mentoring, a good writing staff, more risks, tighter pacing and better editing, this might have been a solid cult film. As it is though, it's inevitably going to be lost in the wide sea of better produced genre efforts. I admire the attempt though and hopefully it was a valuable learning experience for ?first time?director ms Roderick. I've seen a lot of first worse first attempts, if indeed it was.

This movie is very gory. Brande Roderick does a great job as Tess.
The psychological and physical torture of the main villain by his mother is something to behold.
I would recommend this movie if you were a horror movie buff. This film is not for the faint of heart. There are several scenes that have a lot of gore. The amount of splattering gore was stunning to me. I was not expecting that. If you like horror I would give this movie a look.

We got to talk to brande about the film and now's it's on Tubi . It's a great film and you can tell it was a passion film. It's both haunting and beautiful landscape and dark subject matter makes it a great watch. Lots of gore and fun within the film. The acting is fun and the fact that son and mother are in real life son and mother make the relationship even better. If you're into a fun movie with blood, guts, and some nudity. Wineville is one that you need to watch. Not only is Brande an amazing person and super nice to her fans. She's got the chops to run with the big dogs of horror. Vampire& Devil Podcast suggests to check it out.
Wineville" is a gripping drama based on the true story of the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders. The film does a wonderful job of portraying a haunting exploration of crime and justice, making it a compelling watch for fans of true crime and historical dramas. It's a chilling reminder of the darker aspects of human nature. It's definitely worth your time to see this passion project of Brande Roderick's. She really believes in telling this story and you can see it in every aspect of the film. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Brande captures the beauty and ethos that exists between the storyline and its characters.
First of all this is certainly not the genre of film that catches my attention. Was never much for horror films. Never on my hit parade. I figured let me give it a shot since I have always been a fan of Brande Roderick. Never knew she was into producing and directing. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Brande and Richard put together a fun watch. The movie went at a nice pace and the characters were well chosen. I guess the Wineville Chicken Coop murders were a true story. I am looking forward to seeing more from the two of them. Don't see a Wineville 2 but I am sure Brande will come up with something else.
