Film Review – Jug Face

Horror films are a dime a dozen, often viewed chasing trends or lazily
slopping the frame with blood to complete the genre task at hand. When a
production comes around that seeks out a different tonal direction,
it’s easy to notice the atmospheric changes. “Jug Face” is such a movie,
with the presence of originality helping to make helmer Chad Crawford
Kinkle’s debut feature stand out from the suffocating pack. It’s short
(80 minutes long), sparingly severe, and mysterious, asking viewers to
follow an unusual premise doesn’t reward with shocks, but a steady pulse
of dread, making the macabre aspects of the work all the more
unsettling. It’s a terrific picture, smartly made and sharply acted, and
it’s one of the best chillers of the year. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
