Terribly Happy (Film)

Holy ball sack this movie is good. It's difficult to describe the plot to Terribly Happy while still doing it justice, but on the outside, it's about a Danish Marshall with a checkered past sent to patrol a small, seemingly safe village, who soon discovers its inhabitants have an extraordinarily twisted, dark and disturbing way of life. You could also say it's a psychological thriller about the universal human nature of corruption and secrecy. Or that if you took the plot to Hot Fuzz, mixed in some Coen Brothers and a little David Lynch, threw in some obscure Danish Westerns and a dash of Stephen King, mix them all up in a blender, and...argh! See, I knew I shouldn't have tried to describe the plot. Just go watch it, it's playing in select theaters now.
