Mudhoney!1965

Horror Vault's take

Set against the grinding poverty of Depression-era Missouri, a drifter looking for a fresh start stumbles into a community rotting from the inside — where a violent drunk, a scheming preacher, and long-buried secrets make escape feel impossible. Director Russ Meyer strips away glamour to expose the ugliest corners of rural American life, blending lurid melodrama with genuine menace. The tension coils slowly as loyalties shift, alliances corrupt, and the threat of violence — from both one man and an entire town — looms over every scene.
