It stars Dylan McDermott, Charlie Plummer, Samantha Mathis, and Madisen Beaty. The film is set in Kentucky and was also shot there.[1] It premiered at LA Film Festival on September 22, 2018,[2] and received a limited theatrical release on November 16, 2018, distributed by IFC Midnight. Synopsis16-year-old Tyler Burnside lives with his devout Christian family in the small town of Clarksville, Kentucky. The town and its residents are haunted by the memory of the Clovehitch Killer, an infamous serial killer who bound and strangled ten known female victims before going dormant ten years prior. After sneaking out one night, Tyler discovers a snippet of bondage pornography in a truck belonging to his father, family man and community leader Don Burnside. Later, he investigates Don's private shed and finds explicit magazines, along with a Polaroid photograph of a tied-up woman, making him suspicious that his father is the killer. The other teenagers in Tyler's church group and scout troop ostracize him after these discoveries, believing him to be a BDSM fetishist, but he finds a friend in Kassi, a teen outcast and amateur Clovehitch historian. Together, they uncover blueprints to a sex dungeon in Tyler's house's crawlspace, and link the photograph to a known Clovehitch victim. Don grows suspicious of Tyler's behavior, and takes him on a camping trip. Don confronts Tyler on what he has found, and claims that the Clovehitch Killer was Tyler's vegetative uncle Rudy, who became paralyzed after the guilt drove him to a suicide attempt. Don says he kept the evidence in hopes of one day giving it to the victims' families. Tyler accepts the explanation, and the two burn all the evidence. He ends the investigation with Kassi, who is unsatisfied with Don's story. After Tyler leaves to attend a scout leadership camp, Don sends Tyler's mother Cindy and sister Susie to visit Cindy's mother for two weeks. Home alone, he produces his own bondage pornography and stalks a woman through town. After casing her house, he breaks in, binds her, and begins strangling her. However, Tyler appears in the house with a rifle, and it is revealed in flashback that Tyler never left for camp, but was secretly watching Don with Kassi. It is also revealed that Kassi's mother, who went missing ten years prior, was an unknown Clovehitch victim. Don incapacitates Kassi and convinces Tyler to surrender his rifle, and immediately tries to shoot Tyler, only to find the chamber empty. The two enter a scuffle, and Don nearly strangles Tyler until Kassi awakens and knocks Don unconscious. Kassi begins to dial 9-1-1, but Tyler grabs her hand and stops her. Later, Don has been declared missing, but Tyler's family remains stable. They discover that police have discovered Don's body and ruled his death a suicide. At their church, Tyler delivers a eulogy for Don, intercut with scenes of him and Kassi dragging Don unconscious into the forest. It is left ambiguous whether Tyler shoots Don in the forest, or if Don shoots himself. He ends the eulogy with, "Dad, if you can hear me, I love you." Cast{{Cast listing|
}} ReceptionJoseph Hernandez of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival said that "this small town thriller has a sinister edge and sports an exciting narrative device that flips the story on its head."[3] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter called the plot "slow ... more reliant on atmosphere than action to build suspense ... offers an intriguing perspective on the dark side of Americans values ... but lacks the conviction to entirely expose the cultural contradictions that often enable compulsive murderers ... It's a missed opportunity."[4] While the reviews for the film were mostly mixed, McDermott’s performance was widely praised.
