Movie: Candlewood (2016)

Funny thing. I chose Candlewood completely at random (Tubi) for an afternoon movie. It just so happens to take place in a Connecticut town next to where I lived as a kid, and where my family still lives. You'd think I would have heard of this one, if not from family, then from still-local friends.

Then again, maybe not. This movie is a real stinker. 

There’s a lot to say about how the town is presented, but there’s no point. Fact is, I couldn’t get through more than 30 minutes of Candlewood before I had to turn it off. I counted 3 worn out movie tropes in that time, and some of the worst acting I’ve seen in a long time. Skip this one. Really.
