This happens to the main character on her quest for a new life off the grid in upstate New York and, because we're along for the ride, happens to us as well. No, like many of life's nightmares, it's not until you're deep into a troubling situation that you realize how scary it is and how it may be too late to climb out. It's not a horror movie and there's very little blood. No film has ever terrified me as much as this one. I say that because I knew nothing about it when I hit play and two hours later I was ready to jump out of my skin. That includes watching its trailer and reading these next two paragraphs. Out of everything on this list, it's Martha Marcy May Marlene that I hope you do the least amount of research on going in. Regardless of how you walk away from it, it's downright incredible that this movie got made and that's something that can't be said very much these days. In that respect, I don't know if Killer Joe asks too much of its audience or if it completely frees them to watch with the pleasure/disdain-level of their choosing. And it's equally impossible not to be mesmerized by the sharp dialogue, unexpected laughs and spot-on performances by a rich cast (Matthew McConaughey and Juno Temple are incredible). After all, it's nearly impossible to like a story about a redneck father and son's quest to kill their ex-wife/mother for insurance money. Expect to be equal parts repulsed and fascinated. Just plain old ugly, funny, sophisticated trash."ĭo not expect to like this movie. I don't think it can be summed up any better than critic Jack Giroux's review where he says, "Killer Joe is trash.
