So the long and short of the review is this is a really really bad movie on every level. Directing, editing, writing, and the acting.
When there are multiple actors in a scene there is so much needless background chatter between them that it is hard to focus on what is actually being said in the scene. This also turns what should be a 5 minute scene into a 10 minute scene as the actors just chatter on and on about nothing of importance. The dialogue also comes off as incredible clunky which is not helped by the rather wooden acting of the cast.
The next critique is that the movie makes the people of Brooks County Georgia look like backwoods, xenophobic, rednecks. Pretty much every character in the movie is a redneck stereotype of one description or another. From the dumb southern cop, the outsider hating redneck, to the seductive farmers daughter type. They are all there.
The movie also treats the Spook Bridge like it is some kind of dark secret, having characters act almost secret society like in their warnings to the main character about the bridge. It makes it seems like there is some major conspiracy going on when there just isn't.
The next issue is that it seems the team behind the movie thinks that having your characters swear every other word will make up for their actors inability to properly emote. This isn't just one particularly foul mouthed character either. Every character in the movie has the inexplicable need to swear constantly. This over saturation negates any impact the words may of had in context to the scene.
It is a movie that is the quality of an amateur direct to DVD project.So if you simply must watch it wait for the DVD to be in the discount section of your preferred retailer.
