Owen and Isabel's love story simmers with spiteful rage and unfortunately for everyone, Isabel is pregnant with Owen's child. To prove to her that he can become a stable father, Owen agrees to reconnect with his only living relatives at Isabel's request. The couple take a trip to visit his perversely devoted grandmother and his sister Pearl, who was severely burned in a fire, to finally bury the hatchet. But sometimes the ties that bind can cut off all circulation.

Trash Fire Audience Reviews

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
bandito Good directing and acting. sometimes black, sometimes cynical humor. good cast and decent soundtrack. no shaky camera, thanks. many allusion against christian and church in general . slow but not annoying.
incubus-0914 I had been avoiding this film for a while after watching its trailer before. Because I really can't stand watching movies full of unlikable characters which seem to be a trend these days. However, I came across this movie again one day and started reading reviews on IMDb, I decided to take a chance. Mostly because this is a film of the directer of "Excision" and I liked the film, and also I was curious to see the dynamics and dialog between these "unlikable people".In conclusion, I liked it!The dialog in first half is pretty funny, rather whimsical. I found myself giggling in some scenes. To me, they are not unlikable (except for the grandma;she is a disgraceful worthless c**t), they are just deadly honest and no filter or sugar coating when they talk to each other, I would say which can be a good thing unless hurting your partner's feelings. Owen is an emotionally pretty broken person, he can't relate to other people, perhaps even to himself. I don't think Owen particularly hates Isabel's brother or her friends, it's just that is who he is. Probably Owen doesn't even understand why people take everything he says personally. Although it doesn't justify how he behaves in front of others, taking this into consideration helps understand him. Isabel actually seems worse since she acts like a civilized person and yet, her remarks towards Owen sound very personal and abrasive. Whereas Owen, we can see that he was trying to meet her half way with his awkward manner in spite of his lack of empathy. To be honest, I found it was quite heart warming.However, after they arrive at Owen's grandmother's house, things slowly start to turn a weird direction.I suppose this director sees Annalyn Mccord's value in a way other people don't see (Definitely he doesn't want to use her just as a pretty eye-candy...). As "Excision" took a weird turn towards the end, this one also goes to the same direction. This director seems to like making the story a little bit positive and ease our tension, before displaying its sudden dark ending. Somehow he is good at making me feel facing-the-end-of-the-world type of depression with his films. I just didn't know what to do with my sense of loss caused by its ending. I was very sad for a while after watching this movie.Overall, this is not a movie for everyone, I even see why some people don't like it, but if you find the trailer amusing, go for it. But the movie doesn't stay that way. Don't forget that it is categorized as a horror movie after all...
Rodrigo Smithian A self destructive bulimic guy and her complaining girlfriend. This girl is not happy after 3 year relationship with his boyfriend and yet she never decided to leave. Why? This guy is having seizures during sex (that's the only funny scene in the whole movie). The grandma is a religious bitter woman with a double moral. The story, the dialogues and the acting is HORRENDUS. The final is pointless. The title of this movie is very accurate.
dizedd The trailers for this movie are fantastic. The movie itself is dull and humor less. I caught myself falling asleep 3 times. Trust me, I didn't fall asleep long enough to miss anything good-there was nothing good about this movie except the acting. The actresses who played the girlfriend, the sister, and the grandmother all did very well with the poor material they were given. Especially the actress who played the sister, even though her first scene was nonsense. The writer seems to be trying too hard to offend. But there is nothing here that anyone who would seek out this movie would actually be offended by. It's like Justin Beiber trying to act tough-but not as pitifully amusing. There are unexplained HUGE details that the characters literally don't notice-why are they there? The props guy just having his own fun, or poor editing of the final version? There certainly weren't time restrictions-they could have narrowed down the first 45 minutes of the film into a 10 minute set-up, then had more time to flesh out the actual "main" section of the movie. I feel like there was probably a better original vision for this movie that got lost along the way, and I'm disappointed for the actresses involved- they really did turn in fine performances.
