Synopsis: Two brothers live with their father in a rural area. Their uncle who is just out of jail comes to visit and starts questioning them about some gold coins which belonged to his father. Note: this is a fictional story, which according to some people involved in the making of the film was loosely based on a hot line account which apparently hasn't been verified and therefore has no reliability.
Appraisal: It has an interesting first half, with some suspense. The second half is quite drawn out. Several scenes in the movie don't feel quite right, psychologically speaking. I won't be able to explain myself further on this aspect, but one scene that stood out as definitely unconvincing was when, after Chris finds out he has been robbed by his new girlfriend, not only he acts forgivingly (which is acceptable, I guess) but gives a corny speech and caresses her breast, which doesn't look like the usual thing to do under such circumstances. This film has similarities in plot to The Night of the Hunter.
