Rotten
A showcase for big ideas that winds up feeling empty.
Michael Booth, Denver Post
Overview
A motiveless malignancy? Elvis leaves the Navy and heads for Texas where he contacts his father, whom he's never met, the pastor at a Christian community church. Pastor Dave tells Elvis to stay away and, without telling his family that Elvis is his son from a pre-conversion liaison, tells them to have nothing to do with him. But Elvis has already connected with Malerie, the pastor's 16-year old daughter. Elvis embarks on the seduction of Malerie, while Dave examines his conscience and comes to a new conclusion. Can anyone get right with the Lord? Does the Lord hear?

The King suffers from an overbearing sense of its own self-importance.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Rotten
It really is reprehensible and disgusting, not only because we've seen far too many sociopaths in movies over the past 20 years, but because it deals with horrid cliches and presents them as something indie-hip and morally provocative.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

Chilling and compelling.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

It is an intelligent, disturbing thriller.
