great film, totally mismarketed

When I was browsing horror dvds at the store, I came across this DVD with a crazy red-eyed sheep on the cover, which read "Jena Malone in CORN"

I glimpsed at the back, and thought "I have to see this!" I figured it was a z-grade horror movie about maniacal sheep that was cashing in on the fact that somehow an indie-darling actress was involved in the project. which would have been all right by me.

I rented the movie and I was wrong. This is a pretty damn good movie, anchored by a terrific actress. There are many flaws, especially in pacing and story structure, but overall, this movie is worth checking-out. it isn't a horror movie, but it does sort of work like a cross between "Erin Brokovich" and "Rosemary's Baby" at times.

so if you are looking for a movie about crazy mutant sheep, you aren't going to get that here. If you are looking for a low-budget but well-made dramatic environmental thriller with a feminist bent, then check out "Corn."

I suppose you think I'm going insane just to be fashionable.
