Sweet Angel Mine is a wonderful movie. While watching I felt as though this (the locking away, murder, and oppression) was something that could happen to anyone anywhere, but was at the same time fascinated and couldn't turn away. It's a good thing, too, because if I had I would have missed a great finish. Although it's not the first tale to feature this plot, the ending takes a twist, explaining everything and creating uniqueness not seen in other films. Kudos to the acting; it was great and with a lower level the movie simply wouldn't have the same effect. The screenplay, while a bit confusing, ultimately relays everything with better clarity and emotion. The psychotic mother and grandmother, the trapped, innocent daughter, and the caring suitor make for one weird relationship that really fits the story. This is a great movie! While I wouldn't recommend it for a dark, stormy night-it is quite chilling-Sweet Angle Mine is definitely more than worth the two hours it takes to watch-on a calmer day.
