Official Review

This was an unexpected little surprise in a batch of screeners I recently received to review. On the surface, it seems simple enough – a betrayed husband, J.M. (Barnes Walker III) kills his wife, Andrea (Laurence Avenet-Bradley) with a baseball bat but can’t part with her body so he takes her back to his sister’s isolated farm where they had been married a year before. On the way, there are stops to fill the trunk of J.M.’s car with ice (can’t have the little lady decomposing too quickly) which I found blackly hilarious. And once at the farm, J.M. puts Andrea’s body in the claw-foot tub, again filled with ice, and proceeds to sleep in a chair in the next room. But things aren’t quite that simple for this love-lost murderer. It seems the caretaker’s wife, Julie (Carrie L.

Alton) has had too much to drink and this presents a serious problem for J.M. when he catches Julie taking a bath, before he has put Andrea in the tub.
