What is it...good question. A bad script written after a bad pizza, a bad idea after a bad bottle of wine? I don't know. I think it is a bunch of decent ideas sewed together in a incoherent mess full of plot threads that just hang there waiting to be snipped off, tied up or woven in, not just forgotten.
For instance why was it necessary to shoot the daughter of the daughter (not a typo) who came all the way from London to see what happen to her mother who had come all the way from London to see why her mother (main mom) left her abandoned or was killed. Hey, your confused...be thankful I watched the movie for you. Also, how did main mom get one side of her face disfigured from burns and what is the significance other than to distinguish between one actress playing two "mom" roles.
How did daughter #1 (or mom #2, take your pick) get from this "bad" town they keep harping on to London in the first place, when she was abandoned at the age 6 or so, found crying in the corner of a bedroom in the house and never seen again until she pops up in London telling her daughter (#2) she is headed to the "bad" town.
Then we have the half brother who was born of a illicit relationship between main mom and the priest she cleaned and cooked for and was in love with. A devote Catholic though she was the Devil managed to get into her. The half brother was physically disabled, if that isn't slapping you in the face with sins of The Father I don't know what is. The mother's treatment of him, or the demon as she referred to him was appalling. The priest called him his son but did little else to help.
It is like watching a broken Merry-Go-Round that goes around and around, wobbling, trying to fix itself but it can't. There is just so much of this crazy nonsense thrown out there in hopes it will all eventually come together in a movie that makes sense. It doesn't, so they finally realize it and end it. And then did that badly too, even though they do answer the burning question, but leave a host of others left riding that crazy merry-go-round.
Two stars for the young actor the plays the go-fer, musician, funny guy and for the actor that plays the half brother (even if he chews a lot of scenery). Zero stars for the actor who plays the Sheriff, the script, director, the photographer (who insisted on shadows upon shadows), the editing, and the rest of the cast. I say skip this one, it isn't even so bad it's good.
