Sam Shepard: snug under a mad, gothic blanket.
James Woods stands beneath a violent thunderstorm, naked and screaming towards the heavens at the top of his lungs like some atomic leftover of those fringe lunatic people you dare not make eye-contact with.

James Woods stands beneath a violent thunderstorm, naked and screaming towards the heavens at the top of his lungs like some atomic leftover of those fringe lunatic people you dare not make eye-contact with. There he is, in one of the most mesmerizing scenes in film, encapsulating the views of a playwright/actor by the name of Sam Shepard. It is in this scene, towards the end of the film, that we know where Shepard intended for us to go, and that is the dark corridors of a seemingly normal farm family as the last piecemeal foundations of their family erode away into nothingness.
This film is not for everyone; in fact, I would venture to say it's not for most, but for those willing to take it on, I do believe they will be engrossed in its story, and that's what movies should do - tell us a story we can lose ourselves in.
