A young woman traveling for a job interview finds herself targeted by rough men in rural Kentucky. Hermione Corfield portrays an independent college student whose journey to Washington D.C. is interrupted when she encounters local toughs in the hills of western Kentucky, with Micah Hauptman and Daniel R. Hill among those involved. The central question becomes whether she will survive her ordeal. Sean O'Bryan takes on the role of the sheriff, while Jay Paulson appears as a rural resident who might offer assistance, though his intentions remain unclear. Jeremy Glazer is featured as the deputy. “Rust Creek” (2018) delivers a survival-focused adventure that blends elements of crime and thriller genres, drawing comparisons to films like "Deliverance" (1972) and "Black Rock" (2012), with echoes of “I Walk the Line” (1970)—a film distinct from the 2005 Johnny Cash biographical movie. These kinds of stories typically involve characters being trapped in remote areas, forcing them to rely on their instincts for survival, even if it means resorting to violence. Similar to those other films, this one feels authentic and is executed exceptionally well, potentially reaching a level of quality comparable to "Deliverance" and surpassing both “Black Rock” and “I Walk the Line.” The movie has a runtime of 1 hour, 48 minutes, and was filmed in the Louisville, Kentucky area. The film's settings are notably impressive. GRADE: A-/B+
