Directed by Kevin Tenney. Written by John Woodward and Darryl Wimberley, based on a short story by David Henry Keller. Starring Patrick Kilpatrick, Chris Miller, Suzanne Savoy, Ford Rainey, Michael Wren, Lou Perryman and Danny Mora.
Plot: a boy finds a monster under his new Texas home and decides he has to be the one to kill it.
So, a new family moves into a new home that has an old Comanche curse. Then, the boy starts seeing things, but his father and stepmother don’t believe him. The dad even goes downstairs and feels spooked, but still doesn’t believe. Finally, birds attack the house and then he believes, but no one really ever works together.
Suffice it to say, there’s way more wrong with the movie than there is right. The Freddy Claws sucks. The acting is uneven at best. We totally checked out while it was on and started doing other things to keep from being bored. The opening and ending narrative is pointless and stupid and shouldn’t be there. The Native American monster kills everyone, even Native Americans, which has even the Native Americans confused. And the movie is racist. The white people spend the whole movie being shitty towards Native Americans, even the little boy.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
