Synopsis

Texas City, Texas. Inspired by true events – Homicide Detective Mike Sounder, a contentious Texan, and his partner Brian Heigh, a New York transplant, are called by Mike’s ex-wife, Detective Pam Stall, to help work the case of a young girl whose abandoned vehicle is found in the Killing Fields. The Killing Fields are a haunted stretch of bayous and coastal plain. The bodies of just under 60 murder victims, mostly young women, have been found there. As they work the case and two sets of dangerous suspects and more victims emerge, a street kid Brian has taken under his wing, Little Anne, becomes the next girl abducted, drawing Mike, Brian and Pam deep into the Killing Fields on a quest to save her. –Venice Film Festival

I dug it. This movie has some real atmosphere. It's a police procedural crossed with Southern Gothic horror. Ami Mann's got some talent.

To call TEXAS KILLING FIELDS a TV-quality police procedural would be a slight against its ambitions, as well as against the often-entertaining comfort food TV police procedurals provide. Ami Mann's film sports an impressive pedigree of talent, and a plot with potential, but it adds up to something meaningless. The impressive RED RIDING films are similar yarns that suffocate with atmosphere in a way this fails to.

This movie had everything going for it but somehow it did not add up to much. Despite some good casting and solid production work I think the blame has to be assigned to shoddy direction and script writing.
