Summary: Little Known Underrated Gem!!Excellent Suspenseful Drama!!
Review: Based on the Robert Houston novel Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday.This Movie is set in 1943 during WW2 in the backwoods the small southern town called Parrish West Virginia.Abused wife, Maggie Gresham(Kathy Baker) plays a woman who watched her father literally imprison her mother in the backhouse and then was sold by her preacher to be brother Sheb(John Glover) to an evil strawboss.After finding out that her husband is brutally murdered with an axe,she then takes in a drifter named Bastion Morris(Peter Weller) who admits he murdered her husband,holds her captive and claims he was seeking revenge against Maggies husband for an adulterous affair with his wife and killing his family.Maggie fights with her emotions whether she can trust Bastion and ends up physically and romantically involved with him.Bastion turns be both abusive and deceiving like her late husband which results in the final climax.This independent movie is an exceptional,little known Gem that is well worth watching!!It reminds me of another Southern story"Fried Green Tomatoes" which also deals with evil men who are properly taken care of!! An excellent,suspenseful drama and watch out for those stray killer dogs!!

Rating: 5 stars
