Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

1922 (2017)

A farmer's wife inherits a nice parcel of land and decides she wants to sell it and move to the city with her teenage son. Problem is, neither her husband nor son want to leave. The farmer's solution is to enlist the boy into helping him kill her and then to tell everyone she ran off, a plan that actually works. But once his son knocks up the girl next door, things get nasty pretty quickly. By the end of the year, everything -- and I mean everything -- is pretty much in the toilet.

I would've liked this so much better without the supernatural elements. Life and consequences are scary enough without pulling ghosts into the mix.
