This is one of the greatest zombie movies ever if you want to get an idea of what the 80's were like; mullets, zombie mayhem, and 80's synth closing music over credits, this movie is a time capsule to those innocent 80's when anyone and everyone that had that "can do" attitude when it came to making movies (Scott Spiegel learned from the best; Raimi, Campbell & Tapert) did so with conviction, no matter how bad the final product turned out. took me back to some fun times. it is quite entertaining once you watch it from a "looking back to the 80's" perspective. watch with a Duran Duran cassette playing in your "Walkman" and "pop" your Polo collar
Jug Face is excellent representation of the southern Gothic stories that have permeated the American folklore tales of old. There is something creepy about an unexplained phenomena existing patiently and quietly side by side with the colonial development of the American frontier, only to be sated by working in concordance with sacrifice to feed it's dark needs, while providing healing to keep the sources of such feeding sustained. An endless dark cycle, unquestioned for decades until one girl/virgin/un-virgin/woman finally interrupts that feeding, prompting the hunger of the phenomena to lash out in retaliation until the woman, realizing the error of her ways to ever interrupt that age old symbiotic feeding agreement, finally succumbs to her calling, and sacrifices herself to keep the cycle ongoing. Truly terrifying, and reminiscent of classic frontier Gothic literature. Watch this film and experience a piece of American folklore
Occasionally a film may fly under the radar as to how creepy and thought provoking it may be, and this film is indeed one of them. I was interested in the beginning, and unlike another reviewer, once the "one month later" screen appeared, I began to feel that a promising start may have ran out of steam, as I prefer taut films such as this one to take place in "real" time, as morning to noon, to night to next day we're with the characters, which really draws one in, and I was pleasantly surprised to see this one played out quite well. This film is well worth viewing, and I would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a creepy unnerving little film to keep to one the edge
