At the End of the Road by Grant Jerkins
3.0
I get why this one is classified as a "thriller". There is a serial killer in it.
But the actual (usual) entrapmentsexdeath is almost incidental to the vividly real life of children growing up on a small road in a forgotten part of Georgia. The childhood scenes and interior life of Kyle are really well done. The scary paralysed man across the road is menacing, as is the bull in the pasture next door.
Definitely some disturbing scenes but nothing you haven't seen on HBO. I wonder what Jerkins could write if he didn't worry about plugging in the thriller stuff.
