South of Midnight review - the Shakin' Bones of something better
An eerie darkness falls over the town of Prospero. The tempest rages, singing songs of destruction. Rain lashes the windows of Hazel Flood's home as she packs up her things in preparation: a storm's coming. As her mother, Lacey, returns from work, she tasks Hazel with checking on their neighbors, one of whom is playing music on his jukebox and tempting fate, while the other hunkers down and braces. As Hazel steps back into the flickering neon light, her home detaches from its foundations and is swept into the creek with Lacey in tow. This is our introduction to South of Midnight.
