Even the main plot itself turns out to be mostly a loss, largely forgotten by the time we wrap things up in the end.

Reviews for In The Electric Mist
Tavernier captures the moody, misty Louisiana atmosphere and has a low-key, slow pace that fits the energy of the sticky South.
An excellent thriller that shouldn't go overlooked by fans of the genre.
The film's atmosphere is so potent and the characters so richly drawn that we can forgive a few odd connections and coincidences.
Even though the film meanders a bit, the skilful direction and camerawork combine with strong acting to create an engaging, insinuating thriller
There are too many subplots going on to make it work other than as a mildly intriguing curiosity.
