The King
“The devil made me do it.”
DramaThriller
When Elvis Valderez is honourably discharged from the Navy, he heads to the small Texas town of Corpus Christi, where he introduces himself to Pastor David Sandow, his long-lost father, soon becoming a stalwart member of the church.
VIBE
This film feels like a suffocating, humid summer night in the Deep South. It's a slow, deliberate descent into moral ambiguity, where repressed desires and religious fervor clash with devastating consequences.
