Review of Stash

Stash (I) (2007)
8/10
Satisfying slice of rural sleaze
25 November 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Slimy C.J. (a sturdy portrayal by Nathan Day) and his wimpy reluctant partner Stan (solid Stacey T. Gillespie) are a couple of bumbling wannabe crooks who try to steal twenty pounds of weed from fearsome local pot farmer Bud (robustly played with lip-smacking wicked relish by Kevin Taylor). However, things go awry after Bud catches the inept pair in the act and forces the duo to do his evil bidding by abducting a trio of women over the course of three days.

Writer/director Jacob Ennis cooks up a pleasing trashy good time complete with salty dialogue, a constant brisk pace, a sweet smidgen of tasty gratuitous female nudity, a blithely scuzzy atmosphere, colorful low-life redneck characters, a tight 77 minute running time, a pungent evocation of the downhome Kentucky backwoods environment, and startling moments of nasty violence and raw brutality. Scream queen Debbie Rochon acquits herself well in a nice supporting role as distraught mother Miss Brooks. Toshiyuki Hiraoka's twangy score hits the flavorsome spot. Fans of pure fetid celluloid filth should dig this one.
