Ever since the time of the Civil War, the area of Crawford Road and
Colonial Parkway in Yorktown, Virginia, was what you might call a murder
hotspot. It started with a brutal slave catcher (Gordon Price) murdering
the mixed-race baby of his wife (Alie
Thomas-Willworth), then being murdered by her who then hangs herself in
her wedding gown.
Nowadays, Crawford Road has
become the subject of the Murder Group, a meeting group full of amateur
sleuths, and their guest speaker is Detective Young (Ricky
D'Alonzio), who relays to them the result of the investigation of the most
recent murders, and how all the older cases might fit in - and his story
begins with Vlad (Gordon Price), a violent Slovenian drugrunner who's also
the sole survivor of a car accident on Crawford Road, and who after the
fact wanders through the woods to hide the stash of heroin he and his
accomplices had just stolen from a rival gang. But the forest sure is
haunted by the ghosts of those who died there, and they sure do a
number on Cyrus, enough that he starts to think about finding Jesus with
Father Jenkins (Billy Cobb), a local. But Cyrus soon comes on the radar of
detectives Young, Jackson (Jeff Hunt) and Shade (Elysa Kirby), and the
latter soon becomes convinced that it was him who killed her sister in the
area all those years ago. Cyrus though isn't one to go to prison for a
crime he might not even have committed, Jesus or not, and things soon come
to a head ...
From a structural point of view, Crawford Road might be
at times a bit confusing, but at the same time it's also a very
fascinating puzzle that comes up with a very unexpected resolution. Plus,
the film manages to tick all the boxes, it's violent when needed,
suspenseful, spooky, and even quite humourous at times. And the result
might be a bit of a patchwork, but a very enterntaining one indeed.
