I really liked this film! I appreciate horror films that don't rely on over-the-top graphic violence and/or nudity. I love violence in films, but there are far too many filmmakers, especially in the horror genre, that think that violence, sex, nudity, or a lot of profanity will disguise the fact that they lack solid storytelling. In 'Ash and Bone', writer Bret Miller takes a few popular themes, such as a troubled teenage girl who is warring with her step-mom, a small town with dark secrets, and hillbilly siblings with a penchant for evildoing, and nicely weaves them into a cohesive story. There's enough suspense, violence, blood, and cringe-worthy moments to keep things interesting, while maintaining a truly character driven endeavor. The performances are very good across the board, but Erika Hoveland and Jimmy Doom really stand out as the twisted sister/brother duo. Producers Harley Wallén and Kaiti Wallén successfully deliver an entertaining horror film.
