Hurry Sundown
“They are dynamite in love and in anger!”
Drama
A ruthless Southern opportunist tries to buy his cousin's land, and when thwarted, brings several tragedies to the lives of his loved ones.
VIBE
This film feels like a simmering pot of racial tension and economic desperation in the post-war South. It's a slow burn, heavy with the weight of prejudice and the struggle for land, set against a humid, oppressive atmosphere.
