A young woman receives word that her father has died and that his house is ow hers. She goes back home in the hope of selling the house and making a quick buck only to find her relatives and others overly welcoming and not wanting to let her leave too soon.
A good set up kind of goes into a familiar track as the ominous uncertainty of the opening gives way to the feeling we've been here before. This film plays like any number of films from the 70's or 80's where the prodigal child finds out there is weirdness in the family tree. There was a point where I realized I may not have known the details but I sure as hell knew where the film was going.
While the film isn't bad, and I like the way it feels retro in style and music, I was disappointed that the great early part of the film became rather predictable.
While the film is definitely worth a look, your best bet in falling in love with this film is to see it at a drive-in movie.
