Yes, the tragic untold stories of hunting runaway slaves, post traumatic stress syndrome for slaves and the cruelty of that era all needs to be told. Still does.

But maybe 3 or 4 false endings where you think this is where it will end and it doesn't is playing with your emotions and made me angry. I would have given it praise if it had ended sooner and would have felt I had learned something, but I don't because of the belaboring of the "possession" and plot twists without apparent meaning. Really weak plot that uses, what, voodo to try to keep your interest. Maybe the book told a great story, the movie stinks.

Someone should have put it out of it's misery.

My one line says it all. I still think of it a lot, actually I was beginning to doubt it it really existed or if I had mis-remembered the title. It was funny and I must have seen it in the Navy when I watched 2 movies or more a day on Guam in 1974-5. If you find it it is worth watching. J.
