WISCONSIN DEATH TRIP - BLACK RIVER FALLS (1999)

JAMES MARSH

Plot

Based on a series of documented accounts that took place in the small Wisconsin town of Black River Falls in the late 1890's this is a surreal and dark dramatisation involving murder, the supernatural and, unsurprisingly, insanity and paranoia. Wisconsin Death Trip stunningly evokes a community gone mad, consumed by fear and teetering on the edge of utter implosion; filmed in monochrome this is a hauntingly beautiful rendition of hell on earth.
