According to a reviewer, the film is part of the Southern Gothic genre.[1]

Plot

After the American Civil War (1861-1865), a group of Southern plantation owners form a secret society. Their male heirs are inducted into the society. This continues until the present, when it is decided to kill off a new heir because she is a woman. Another young heir dies as well, and unbelievable things happen to a third and others he cares about.

Cast

Production

Director Gary Wheeler had trouble casting the role of Larochette. As an independent production, his budget was limited, and he had trouble making connections with high profile actors. When actor Tim Ware found Larochette had not been cast, he offered to contact McDowell on behalf of Wheeler. Shooting took place in Wilmington, North Carolina.[2]

Release

The List was released theatrically in 2007 through select states in the South including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.[2] The film would visit a select city for a few weeks beginning in Charlotte on August 12, 2007.[citation needed] It grossed a total of $138,814.[3]

A further releasing campaign was planned for 2008 with intent to spread outside of the South.[citation needed] 20th Century Fox soon set a June 10, 2008, DVD release date.[4]

Reception

Ken Hanke of Mountain Xpress rated it 2.5/5 stars and called it "a slickly produced, low-budget, faith-based thriller that's light on the thrills and heavy on the faith".[5] In rating it 5/10 stars, George Tiller of PopMatters wrote, "So what we wind up with is a muddled bit of Southern Gothic lite that somehow manages to be a pretty enjoyable movie."[1] David Cornelius of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 and criticized the film's transition from drama to supernatural thriller. Cornelius described it as "always just a little too melodramatic, a little too hokey, a little too saccharine".[4]
