So… isolated families, unusual communities bordering on cults, pressure being applied, a desperate mother fighting against insurmountable odds, but no axe-wielding maniac with an excess of recessive genes or a mask made out of someone else’s arse. She sets Lemon repaying an impossible debt, and has a grip on her, which has too many spoilerish elements for me to go into here. We can tell that Lemon is a good, caring mother who only wants the best for her son.īut, as is the way of the cinematic world, being poor but happy isn’t an option, and the antagonist turns up in the form of the kindly, smiling, home-baking matriarch of the Runion family. OK… it’s not domestic bliss but they seem happy enough, and their house may not be grand but the surroundings are gorgeous. The next day is chores feeding animals, raking leaves, gathering firewood. Lemon Cassidy (beautifully played by Danielle Deadwyler) is with her son Coy (Ezra Haslam) getting ready for bed brushing teeth, tucking in, etc.

We start off with a few shots of quiet domesticity. Perhaps a hint might be found in the fact that if you search IMDb for The Devil To Pay it finds it, but under a different name – Reckoning. So do we get a running around, screaming, and getting chopped up extravaganza? No! We get something much, much better. Which, in movie speak, is short for inbred, psychotic, short tempered - and no screws fully tightened - never mind loose.
