Molly (the gorgeous Gretchen Lodge) and her new husband, Tim (Jonny Lewis) move into hMolly’s old family home, formally owned by her now deceased father, and lies pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The house holds painful memories long locked away inside Molly but it doesn’t take much time for those memories to start to resurface.
Tim is a long haul truck driver who is on the road for days at a time, leaving Molly alone to her own devises, which isn’t the smartest thing because Molly is a former heroin addict struggling to stay clean and sober. But as the lonely days and nights increase, Molly starts to feel that she is not alone on the property, as she starts, at first, hearing things around the house at night. The strange occurrences turn into something more physical and Molly has a hard time keeping it all together. Feeling the pressure that she may be going crazy or maybe there is something truly happening to her, Molly turns to her sister, Hannah (Alexandra Holden) then to her husband and try to explain what she think is going on, however, neither believe much in what she has too say causing Molly to go back to her old habits of drugs which just compounds the problem. Only now does anybody take notice that Molly is suffering, so her sister and husband turn to their local pastor for help, which was about as useless as one might think. All of which ends in one of the more “What the Fuck” (a term I actually found myself saying out loud) endings, as it comes to a truly horrific head, where nobody is safe.
As I watched “Lovely Molly”, I kept wanting to compare it too “Silent House”, but with Sanchez at the helm “Lovely Molly” was a stronger more disturbing film when it comes down the subject at hand.
One I highly recommend.
I give it 3 out 4 severed heads on my rating scale.
