Undertow

Two young brothers (Jamie Bell and Devlon Alan) are living in some kind of nightmarish Deep South back-of-beyond as the plot veers wildly into Night of the Hunter territory.

A languid, quietly moving love triangle.

I sense a poetic merging of realism and surrealism; every detail is founded on fact and accurate observation, but the effect appeals to our instinct for the mythological.

More heart-tugging mélo than spooky thriller...

This debut from Peruvian writer-director Javier Fuentes-León is engaging and easy on the eye.
