Wineville

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.

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.

Brande Roderick's directorial debut proves that a passion project can excel. A woman returns to the murderous vineyard her abusive father disguised to close out its sale after his passing. Ed Gein meets Norman Bates with a sprinkle of the Firefly family makes for a bloody good time. Brande is a wonderful person and her genuine nature that is shown when meeting fans comes through in this film as you can tell she took great care in its design and execution. You don't need a big studio in your back pocket to show that you have what it takes in the horror genre. Brande has it and this is only the start.

Wineville (2024), directed by Brande Roderick in her feature directorial debut, is a 1970s-set horror-thriller that blends familial trauma with supernatural suspense. The film follows Tess Lott (played by Roderick), who returns to her family's vineyard after her father's death, only to uncover dark secrets that have festered over the decades .I thought I was a good movie and really scary. I've always wondered about those murders back in the day and this movie does a great job at showing you the timeline and breaking down everything. I think it offers a compelling watch it may not be a conventional horror film kinda lacks traditional horror scares Brande Roderick did a fantastic job at directing this one she really did a good job at capturing the supernatural suspense looking forward to Branden's future projects.

Brande Roderick does an outstanding job in this horror movie as an actor and director. I especially liked the way she developed the bond with her son early on which helps set the tone for what's coming. It contains enough twists and turns to keep you thinking about " what happens next" While watching this I could actually see something like this happening in real life especially being a struggling vineyard in a small town. Her adaptation of the actual event is compelling. She steals the show with her ability to act like a mom and yet turn on the charm. You will enjoy Aunt Margaret as she is a unique character but a force to deal with. I will not go into any other details of the movie other to say if you have a Friday night and you are struggling to find something to watch, pick this one !!
