This is a peek into some of the darker aspects of small-town Southern (USA) culture. Knowing that Shane Ballard's mom did die mysteriously, that the director, Ron Tibbet, died shortly after the film was finished, and that Shane himself committed suicide, all serve to draw the viewer into the film. I found myself wondering about everyone involved . . .
The movie is a bit slow at times. The telephone call with Charles Manson was long, but there were some subtle, psychological things going on there too.
--- slight, oh so slight, spoiler -- Oh, and Shane's final vote count for sheriff was not 666. It was 333, half the number of the beast ;-)
