BLACK . SNAKE. MOAN.

Oh...My....
The title alone makes me want to powerwash my brain of sordid, libidinous, illicit, and politically incorrect thoughts...Thank God, I can't access a pressure cleaner.
It took me a couple of months to get around to placing this on my Netflix queue after having watched a trailer for it at Kat's house one afternoon. I do declare it caused ME to have a spate of the vapours, which notching up the ceiling fan and refreshing my Diet Coke barely alleviated. We both looked at each other and swore we would see THAT movie. Kat was the first and I made her swear not to spoil it for me under threat of NEVER being invited to the next fine dining and whining experience in my driveway.

How can I sum up the movie without spoiling it for those who may want to see it in the future? Well, first of all, let me tell you that I was expecting this just from the title before seeing the trailer

Then after seeing the trailer....I STILL thought it was similarly themed, except with a modern day twist.....but alas it was not . It was a love story....with the universal theme of love transcending all obstacles...with a twist.
Instead of a movie review/summary plot...I offer you some phrases that are associated with the movie.

This movie is disturbing in the way a car accident is. You don't want to look, but you find it hard not to..
