When Ada and Eileen are washing clothes in the stream, they are both barefoot. Ada wades across the river and up the bank to hang the clothes and has her vision of the creature attacking Eileen. She screams, her mother runs to her, and they both race down to the river where they see blood, at which point Ada is still barefoot. The two women then follow the blood trail to the pit, running all the way. When they arrive at the pit, Ada is wearing black socks and boots over white stockings. See more »

Jug Face (2013) Review: Possession Pitfalls.
6 August 2013 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Jug Face follows the story of a young pregnant girl (Ada), who is trying to escape the clutches of her isolated community. A community set in the middle of the woods, where their lives are guided by the supernatural presence of a pit. Ada discovers that she is the next sacrifice and must escape before it is too late.

A supernatural horror of the control and dictatorship a pit has over a small isolated community. To please the pit they must make human sacrifices of whoever the pit requires. Those chosen are communicated through the possession of Dawai, who creates the face of the next sacrifice onto a jug (hence the masterful title). The authenticity of the mystical pit is not the centre of this story, but instead the results created by an evil force left free to reign over a helpless community.

Although the story sounds weak the director initially manages to create a film with potential; nostalgic of the cult and extremist films of the 70's. The style of filming is pretty generic as it seems that the director has no focus on what the film is trying to say, so the camera keeps distance favouring long and medium shots, allowing the story to unfold freely within the frame. Close ups and rapid editing is used in moments of 'white eyed' possession...

Jug Face can be described as a drama more than a horror, there are graphic scenes of sacrifices with entrails and body parts to keep the gore hunters happy, but the film exhausts the plight that Ada faces and the inescapable fate of those chosen by the pit. Jug Face explores a plain and raw view of life, death, sex and the primitive values within this tight knit community; where girls are tested as virgins, and whipped if they go against community rules.

Equality is dead...get your jugs out for the pit...
