REVIEW: JUG FACE (2013) ... Incest, Red Necks and a Pit!

 

REVIEW

What to say about this movie? It's a small production with an interesting premise. The movie is set in the present but has a backward community living in the woods ( dare I say, reminiscent of The Village?) and worship a pit. It seems the pit chooses a person who it needs sacrificed and presents this knowledge to a potter, Dawai, who then creates, using clay, a jug with the face of the person to be sacrificed.

 

 

The story centers around Ada, who is having an incestuous relationship with her brother. Two things change her life and that of her community forever, one, the realisation that she's pregnant and two, that Ada is the next Jug Face and tries to run away from it.

 

When the pit does not receive the proper sacrifice, it then wreaks it's vengeance on the tiny community and anyone else who stands in it's way.

Jug Face is not the next 'it' thing for horror but what it does give us is a peak into a different set of ideologies and beliefs. The movie could've been bigger than what it is but succumbs to it's presumably small budget. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they were truly bored and had nothing else to watch or just plain curious.
