A Back Country Tale – *

The forbidden lies...in the Back Country
1997, USA, Colour, 102 minutes
Directed by Falconi Roberts (he went to directing MTV videos after this)
Actors - they all seem to be called A Smith. Never trust re-released DVDs

For a brief period in the late 1990s, '97 to be precise, it was possible to make some rather strange films funded by Hollywood money. And I don't means strange like seeing a 3-headed cow, I mean strange like Billy, a man who has a criminally needful lust for his of-legal-age sister. Of course this being Hollywood it is dressed up with a proper three act structure that makes this whole visual experience even stranger. The story line is pure dime store disturbo-erotica, but with the kind of production values that only $30 million can bring.

Best moment – well, lets move on.
Best Line – "You know, it is awful cold outside, and the fire is burning REAL bright inside, lets fuck"
