[Locke]

Jug Face is a film that scares more in the ideas, than of gory shocks and there isn't a single cheap jump scare to be found. There is gore, gore that is well done enough to curl the toes, but gore is also self contained and only ever used for crucial moments to the plot. That is damn refreshing after the steady churning garbage of the torture porn genre. And guess what? There isn't a jump scare in sight!

Perhaps most terrifying, for a mass audience though, is Jug Face's morals. The pocket of the deep south the film is set in, is completely detached from the real world. It doesn't quite seem to exist in a single time or place, everything from the aesthetic of their village to their opinions is a mesh of insane and outdated ideas and concepts. And at one point, when two characters flee for their lives into the "real world" the real world is so terrified of this little backwoods community, that they are happy to simply turn a blind eye. And when you think that is as low as the movie can go, equilibrium is restored in the movie, only when evil is finally allowed to win.
