Once again we have a "based on true events" film. Good, bad, or indifferent, I was following this along pretty well until it got to the ending. Or "ending", because this film really doesn't end. There is no Happy Ever After. There is no feeling of reaching a satisfactory conclusion whatsoever. I guess that's why this movie continues to intrigue me.
In brief, Faith is trying to escape a brutal boyfriend by moving to a new city. At a nightclub, she meets up with Lola, who appears to be in the grip of another heartless boyfriend, and helps her to get the creep off her back. They strike up a friendship, with Lola inviting Faith to her farm (said farm raises and slaughters pigs).
When Faith's boyfriend appears in town, Faith asks Lola if she can move in with her. Lola agrees, and the two form a fast, almost sister-like friendship. That is, until Faith finds out about Lola's past when it comes to her family and past boyfriends. And that's when things start to get UGLY.
This is a movie filled abuse and torture. It's graphic, but not over the top. The acting is worthwhile, and I can understand how this film became one of the selections for the After Dark Horrorfest.
My recommendation is that you
