This
film is based on a novel by Joe Lansdale.
Ann Dane wakes up in her Texas home and tells her husband Richard that
she hears someone in the house.
Richard gets up right away and he takes his gun from the closet. When he enters the living room, he sees
a man wearing a hoodie in the room.
The man shines a flashlight into Richard’s eyes and Richard fires the
gun. The man is dead and the
police come to take statements. A
short time later, Russel comes to town and it was his son who died. He
wants to scare and enact vengeance upon the Dane family. Russel is a murderous and dangerous
ex-con.
In
the beginning, there are a lot of scary scenes and then they change to a
mystery. Richard and Ann are very
worried about their young son.
They are afraid Russel will kidnap or kill him. Russel shows up outside the school and
their house is broken into. The
later scenes go beyond scary and are more than I wanted to know or see!! I liked the beginning portion of this film but not the second half. 2*( (I
didn’t like this movie)
