And how about our crickets? Again, only "Places in the Heart" which was in Texas, seemed to realize that bugs are prevalent in these climates. I don't even think Texas has what the southern region has in buildings and flora.

Still the quaint southern locale is only found in the south. The only hindrance is the husband's immediate leap from "My wife has jumped into the river" to "We have to drag the river." Apparently he has already given her up for being dead. I thought the night scenes in "Intruder in The Dust" were more chilling than anything in "Blair Witch Project". Other Mississippi films are "Oh, Brother, Where ARt Thou?" and "Intruder IN The Dust" as well as "Sounder" filmed in Louisiana. Filmed in Mississippi, the lush countryside is spectacular in a way Hollywood could never recreate, from open fields to the river dragging to the dirt roads. The husband and his friend, Virgil (Tim Ransom), begin dragging the river for her body and uncover a large bounty of fish in the process, hence the title the net they used. It is the story of a wife (Sedgwick) who feels her husband (Tubb) is ignoring her, but not in an adulterous way, so she leaves a note threatening suicide by jumping in the river.

This Eudora WElty story was set in the '30's or '40's of Mississippi and the director was Wiggins, Mississippi native Anthony Hererra.
