Customer Reviews

Formula swamp psychological thriller.

A sweet young girl who is about to be married disappears. Her fiancé, her father, and several others are worried. When all the leads give out, they turn to a local Tarot card reader for help. They may get more than they bargained for. Before you throw a hissy fit over me calling this formula, it is a formula. We have the introduction of the characters and their quirks. We know who is to be dispatched right off. As we search for the dispatcher with the help of a gifted seer who herself may be threatened. Of course, everyone looks guilty, and it is always the last person you suspect. Now that being said, the production was quite good; filmed in Georgia, and it looks like Plum Bayou in Arkansas. There was an excellent choice of actors that did not outshine the characters in the story. There were plots and subplots; however, the story stayed on track. The costumes and accents matched the story well. The background music enhanced the story as one of the characters, but did not overwhelm the story with lots of noise.
