An Acrid Yarn

About This Movie

So, 'An Acrid Yarn' – it's this interesting little thriller from 2010 that really dives into the darker corners of human nature. Set in a small Texas town, you get this odd pairing of Deece, who’s got that anti-social vibe yet a strong moral compass, and Buck, the local pastor with some pretty dubious intentions. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and there’s this slow burn throughout that keeps you hooked. The pacing is deliberate, which works well for the unfolding drama. The performances really stand out, especially how they capture the desperation and moral conflict. It’s not the typical thriller; it’s more about character study wrapped in a suspenseful narrative. Those practical effects? They add a real grit to the film, grounding it in its unsettling reality.
