Review of Trash Fire (2016) by Steve C — 12 Feb 2017

Trash Fire (2016).

Written and directed by Richard Bates Jr.

One of these things that I am will to watch almost at random on Netflix.

This one is a rather interesting sort of hodgepodge family horror movie.

There is a guy who is basically a creep. He has this girlfriend, but she is tired of his shit. Anyway, she gets pregnant and so he decides to do the right thing and all that. But she tells him that he has to get right with his estranged family which is only his grandmother and his sister. His parents are dead because he burnt down the house when he was a kid, killing his parents and forever damaging the sister who had burns over 80% of her body.

So they go visit these people but none of it goes as expected except for us who know we are watching a sort of horror movie.

It's all interesting enough and well enough performed and written and directed to be worthwhile for people who like this sort of thing. Not a lot of gore, like body parts and stuff like that, but there is some blood that flies around.
