2.0 out of 5 stars
Weird, February 5, 2008
This review is from: Sugar Creek (DVD)
Even though it's supposed to be a Western, I would rather categorize it as a Cartoon.
Only in Cartoon's people are able to endure soooo much without expressing pain.
The basic story is good, but how the movie was made is just to weird.

One Cent, June 22, 2010
This review is from: Sugar Creek (DVD)
I bought this used on Amazon.com for one cent...a penny. I must admit, it is worth much more and even though it is choppy and dissected from start to finish, it has its moments. The acting is extremely good...I believe the script and editing were fine, too...but there's something about this film that didn't hit the target. Maybe you'll like it more than I did. Give it a try.

better than expected, July 10, 2009
This review is from: Sugar Creek (DVD)
I read reviews before I watched this, and after viewing found myself pleasantly surprised. I disagree with those here on Amazon and on IMDB who described this movie as disjointed, hard to follow, open-ended, full of unnecessary characters and stories that went nowhere, etc.
Due to lighting effects, the flashbacks were quite easily determined. The characters were woven together slowly, sure, and their stories weren't immediately understandable, but they all fit together just fine toward the end, even why (slight spoiler) this thing had been done six times. The movie even had its surprises - the initial feel was a supernatural one, but the mystery turned out to be quite earthly. And the end included a surprising detail I didn't see coming which wrapped the whole thing up nicely.
I will agree with the reviewer who described the sheriff as overdone, and at times the language - from his character and others - seemed gratuitous. A word of warning - some of the scenes were difficult to watch, but I guess that was the point. The movie never lost its creepy feel. I'd recommend it, but not for the easily offended. It definitely earned its rating.
