The Clovehitch Killer

They gave away the whole “twist” from the start of the movie. The kid is an actual loser with no backbone. If you’re looking for a movie to help you fall asleep, this is it. To all of saying “this is nuts”, you need to touch some grass.

Decent movie throughout but hated the ending. Dude murders a bunch of women and tries to kill his son just to die without having to face justice and will be remembered for being a good community member. No justice at all. No closure for the victims or their families

I really enjoyed the main character and the struggle he goes through compelling a slow burn

I was enjoying, mostly, the majority of this movie. It’s got a good premise and builds well on itself, really tapping into the feeling a lot of us can relate to, which is realizing your parents are fallible. Not to this degree, obviously, but on some level.

What I really truly and thoroughly hate, though, is the horrible ending. It is such a slap in the face to not only the victims in the movie, but also his friend! The fact that he asks her to help him cover up and protect the identity of the man who violently tortured and murdered her mother while she had to listen in the bathroom is so insane. And to frame it as “protecting his family” is such bullshit. Your preference for them to not know the dad’s true identity does not supersede the value of those victims’ families being able to have closure. Not to mention the fact that this will now remain an open case forever? Wasting resources, always leaving people searching for the answer. And you committed a murder and covered up a crime. And I guess just hoping that woman doesn’t tell the cops what really happened? It’s so infuriating and so incredibly selfish (and stupid), while being framed as a noble choice.

Other complaints is that a lot of the movie plays as really goofy and not actually tense. And the kid’s friends are the absolute worst. Also really could have done without such an overwhelming amount of church stuff. Most of which I could have dealt with were it not for the atrocious ending.
