"Get ready for exceptional historical horror. It’s sometime in 1920s Appalachia and the community of Spar Creek invited a nurse, but Leslie is unwelcome from the moment he arrives. He’s too “mannish” for a proper woman (about that…), marked dangerous by a local pastor who wields religion like a closed fist, and unable to build rapport enough to help another “gay young thing,” Stevie, who has recently become the focal point of deep ugliness. This is a sublime examination of monstrousness, gruesome and graphic, queer and angry. Do you like an unapologetic revenge story? Me too. Look no further."
