Dark August (1976)
1/10
Hidden Gem my ass

This is a boring movie that has no rhyme or reason. The longest one hour and 26 minutes ever.

Maybe editing needs to be at a premium.

The whole slow burn was just that slow.

The acting was decent but the problem was no story development until the last 23 minutes...making the first hour and few minutes just wasted the entire audiences viewing pleasure.

1970's movies seemed dirty and visceral...this is no exception so instead of taking advantage of the rural setting and the atmosphere...this movie milks padding time that doesn't add to the story.

Again, the critics call this a hidden gem. Actually it should be used for the cute of insomnia.
