This Old Machine 2017

Not much to say about this one.
I liked Lance Henrikson, man's solid in all he does, Kevin Sorbo had fun as a sketchy neighbor who's sole reason for being in this story is to get Sorbo on the poster, and Claire Danielle Canterbury played the troubled younger sister well.

Sadly however the film is weighed down by its story, which is murky and underdeveloped. It felt like a poor knockoff of Winter's Bone, and comes crashing down with the final reveal.

SPOILER
Vint's wife isn't dead. She and her parents faked her death with help from the locals (whose reasons for being involved are never really clear). They didn't tell the younger sister also for reasons that don't make a lick of sense. All this gets 6 or 7 people killed and I'm left wondering, Why not just get a divorce?
