HOMESTEAD A TRUE GRITTY BITE OF A WESTERN CLASSIC!!!
5 April 2023
HOMESTEAD was the reimagining of a classic Western theme with a new twist as the heroine, a young girl, determined to take out the bad guys and save her family!

Shot with wonderful landscapes and cinematography, the movie pulls the viewer in from the very opening scene. A small prairie home set to appear in the middle of nowhere does leave an impression of vulnerability from outside forces!

A very well played cast with much depth and believability of people who felt as they just walked out of the past and onto the screen.

The oppressive nature of the villains sets the tone and raises the bar of terror and peril as the days sunlight dims, while the night brings into play the true evil nature of these deeply disturbed and revengeful men.

This is where the TRUE GRIT of Irene the young girl shines through and the other characters display their well casted and well developed personalities with equally seedy and devilish dialogue interwoven throughout the film!

A great cast and truly believable and authentic acting with a stellar performance of Irene from Betsy Sligh and my personal favorite the evil preacher Ezekiel played by Scot Scurlock and the wicked sermons he distributes to his audience!

Some truly great acting to bring forth the suspense and depth of despair that this family is enduring a must watch to the end!

HOMESTEAD is a hold-onto-your-seat modern Western classic!!!
