Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

znegative Jug face was one of those movies I chose to watch because I was getting low on films I wanted to see with my Amazon Shudder subscription. Prior to this one, I watched 'Shuttle' and started watching 'A lonely place to die', and though Jugface is more of a horror film than the latter mentioned features which fall into the 'psychological thriller' category, it is by far much better.Jug Face kind of reminds me of a Cormac McCarthy story for some reason. The plot centers around a young girl living in a backwoods and backwards community who becomes impregnated by her brother. The community is based around a belief in a magical pit that in return for human sacrifice, can cure disease and illness. The community potter supposedly receives visions from the pit of the face of the person-to-be-sacrificed, and then makes a clay sculpture of their face (hence 'Jug Face'). Of course it comes to be that the face that the potter makes is that of our pregnant protagonist, who hides the jug face before anyone can see it, causing a chain of tragedy that eventually propels her to try to escape her community and the spirits that dwell within it.Despite the ridiculous premise which definitely has overtones of dark humor, Jug Face is a pretty intense film. It's the kind of movie that will have you laughing one minute, but unlike many other 'horror-comedy' the director knows when to reel it back in so not to sacrifice any of the suspense.Jug Face is low budget, but the cinematography, acting and directing, and even the soundtrack is all top-notch. Not mind blowing by any means, but a good movie.

Michael O'Keefe This indie project can be described as much a drama as horror film. Chad Crawford Kinkle directs this gory yarn of a backwoods community that sacrifices a clannish-type member to a feared creature down a deep pit in the middle of the woods. The chosen one is determined by the face on a jug made by a mentally challenged member of the community. Ada(Lauren Ashley Carter)is a young girl that must escape the woods, when she finds her face on a fresh made jug. She hides the jug and this doesn't please the creature in the pit. Another reason for high-tailing it away is that she doesn't want it known she is pregnant by her own brother(Daniel Manche).JUG FACE is mildly creepy and at times gory with scenes of bloody guts and body parts as someone is sacrificed to the haunted pit. These hillbillies are a bit dense and their lives are manipulated by the fear of the pit and creature hidden within. Language, bloody violence and brief nudity call for an R rating. The story line is odd and somewhat dark. The acting is not totally bad, even if there is only one familiar face in the cast...that of Sean Young. Miss Carter is believable and not hard to look at. Others in the cast: Sean Bridgers, Larry Fessenden, Katie Groshong, Scott Hodges and Kaitlin Cullum.

Shawn Stetsko Solid acting, a quite original concept, and a well woven tapestry of a... shall we say, alternative culture, make this into quite a strong movie. I found myself invested in the main character enough to care about the outcome, and intrigued enough in the "elder power" around which the community revolves to want to know more about it. I will say it is not a conventional horror movie, so those who hope to get jump scares and loads of blood are better off looking elsewhere, but if you want a thoughtful little film that still has an element of supernatural, this might be a good one for you. Definitely worth watching, and all the better considering what an expanse of recent garbage this little gem shines out on.Addendum: I saw some criticisms of this movie and they mostly seemed to center around the idea that it left too many questions unanswered, that it didn't have enough of a story, or that it didn't wrap up to a particular viewers satisfaction. I could not disagree more. The premise is that there is an entity whose older than man whose thinking is unfathomable. To answer the nature of such a creature in your narrative would destroy that property of it... wouldn't it? Personally, I like the unfathomable aspect of it. I like wondering about it but never being given an answer. As to the ending and the lack of a story, without giving anything away, well, a group such as this would have developed a kind of relationship with the entity which would have become very entrenched over time. This tale is a slice of time... not a closed end, and I think the ending we are presented with is the perfect one for the, shall we say, nature of the beast. It is precisely these kinds of things that make the story a bit more innovative and not just another Hollywood style tale designed to satisfy the person who prefers things to be more predigested.

patrick-wheeler-31-914173 Jug Face is excellent representation of the southern Gothic stories that have permeated the American folklore tales of old. There is something creepy about an unexplained phenomena existing patiently and quietly side by side with the colonial development of the American frontier, only to be sated by working in concordance with sacrifice to feed it's dark needs, while providing healing to keep the sources of such feeding sustained. An endless dark cycle, unquestioned for decades until one girl/virgin/un-virgin/woman finally interrupts that feeding, prompting the hunger of the phenomena to lash out in retaliation until the woman, realizing the error of her ways to ever interrupt that age old symbiotic feeding agreement, finally succumbs to her calling, and sacrifices herself to keep the cycle ongoing. Truly terrifying, and reminiscent of classic frontier Gothic literature. Watch this film and experience a piece of American folklore
