Also living at the farm is his layabout daughter and her precocious 8 year old daughter, his would-be artist son, the son’s fiancée, and the black maid. Also thrown into the mix is the daughter’s ex-husband, a ne-er-do-well who is seeking to get back in his ex-wife’s good graces.

Viewing Notes
The great Harry Dean Stanton passed away today at 91 years. Such an amazing career full of wonderful characters. Hollie Horror (and Jeff) mentioned this film on twitter and it was available via Amazon Prime. Had never even heard of it until today. Such a delightfully weird movie featuring a dysfunctional family in the middle of a tornado in Kansas. HDS is really fun and Crispin Glover is off the rails terrific as the eccentric son. I may watch it again in the near future.
RIP HDS
