Jug Face

The best two things I can say about Jug Face is that it is original and that it has a great soundtrack, every other aspect of it ranges from decent to pretty poor. The story centres around a backwoods community who worship a pit in the woods, what the nature of this pit is we have know idea, all we know is that it demands sacrifices to look after the health of the community.

Each sacrifice is decided upon by the cults sculptor who sculpts the face of the next victim into a jug after receiving telepathic messages from the pit. Once the pit has chosen Ada , a teenage girl played by Lauren Ashley Carter, she hides her Jug-face, an action which culminates in the pit striking back at its worshipers.

Lauren Ashley Carter is good in this movie, but although you do care about what happens to her and though there is a certain point in the film where you feel it might actually be going somewhere the overall outline of the script is really, really weak and it peters out into a predictable and pointless ending. There is a consistent theme throughout the ending of taking responsibility and not running away from your fate but that's about it, it's an idea that could have been more effectively presented and by that point I'd more or less lost interest in the movie to care.

I actually quite like the originality behind the lore in Jug Face but the film does nothing interesting with it. There are a few supernatural moments which are terribly done and look incredibly cheap, I understand the film was made on a small budget but I've seen more achieved on a shoestring budget than what is shown here.

Overall it was a pretty underwhelming experience 
and I have very little positive to say about it, it wasn't completely terrible as the acting from the main cast was good enough to keep my attention but the story really had nowhere to go and was far too predictable for its own good.
