5.0 out of 5 stars SHADES OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS! THIS MOVIE ROCKS!, August 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Locusts (DVD)

I saw this movie in a Store and it looked interesting and I liked the actors in it so I figured I would give it a Shot! Boy, was I BLOWN AWAY! Why havent I heard about this movie before? This Movie was EXCELLENT! It amazes me that some of the reviewers here didnt like it! The Story definatley has the same feel as a Tennessee Williams Story. It it hard to talk about the plot without giving too much away but I will say that the movie deals with the bond between two men who form an unlikely friendship! The way their friendship progresses in this film is so paced perfectly! The one man is trying to escape his past and in the meantime is trying to help his much weaker friend escape his present! The film deals with Deep Dark and Ugly Family Secrets(Very Ugly Secrets) and I will admit that this is No Feel Good movie! But, if you love great character driven dramas with an edge, this film is for you! I LOVED IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Southern Goth at its best, March 4, 2007

This review is from: The Locusts (DVD)

Stellar acting from a great ensemble and a plot that could have been written by Flannery O'Connor, Truman Capote and Erskine Caldwell during an all night drinking session. Only disappointment was the last 30 seconds of the film -- a Hollywood ending to a Southern Goth only leaves one wanting more.

This review is from: The Locusts (DVD)

The Locusts, is a fascinating psychological look at an abused woman as a child, has now become a master of abuse to her own son and oddly the young ranch hands that work for her. Kate Capshaw gives a haunting performance of a woman who loves,hates and needs her life to be a place where she can be the BOSS and the one who humiliates whoevever she wants to. She doesn't just castrate bulls. Vince Vaughn is not just another sexy ranch hand.He is a sensitive, caring human being who befriends her emotionally depressed and disturbed son. She learns that Vince Vaughn has a secret after he refuses her advances. Vaughn is vulnerable and strong. He gives an outstanding portrayal of a young man who finds love and friendship in an unlikely place. Well done!!!
