Brooding Southern Gothic horror movie starring and directed by Bill Paxton. Two young boys don't quite know how to react when their father announces he has been chosen by God to become a demon hunter; this involves hitting people with a big axe a lot. Low-key stuff for the most part; Paxton does a good job of taking you into the world of this family and their rather peculiar take on what is 'normal', strong performances all round.
Sadly the film is virtually undone by a frame story featuring a pre-McConnaissance Matthew McConnaughey, leading up to a long-way-sub-Shyamalan twist ending; this one element is so convoluted and unconvincing it drags down what's otherwise an atmospheric and effective film into something resembling a forgettable episode of The X Files.

Sass, Snark , and Southern Charm
Set in beautiful, and sadly fictional, Lake Sackett, GA. A Chicago native hits rock bottom professionally and moves to to Georgia to remake herself with the help of a hilarious and adorable cast of characters that comprise her absent father's side of the family. She finds love, laughter, her father, and herself as she tries to get by and find a new career while working in the family business.
It was an absolute joy. I would have laughed myself sick at times if I hadn't been trying to figure out if maybe the author had met some of my relatives. I loved every minute of this book and will definitely be reading it again and again. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Eliza is also an important character. She's a woman fighting to keep her family together and free. Her adventurous escape is daring and dangerous. Thrilling to say the least!
This book is impossible to put down! It fosters deep thoughts and perspectives about slavery and racism. Not an easy read but definitely worth it!
