Trailer for Last Kind Words.
A modern day Southern Gothic ghost story set in the farmland of Kentucky, "Last Kind Words" tells the story of 17-year old Eli, who moves with his family to the isolated farm of reclusive Waylon, a man whose dark past threatens to overtake him. Eli's family works to restore the desolate fields, while he becomes fascinated with the forests, where he meets the mysterious Amanda. She extracts a promise from him to avoid the deep woods. One night, reeling from a violent encounter with his father, Eli breaks this promise and finds her body hanging from a tree. To take the Faulkner quote literally, the past is never dead - Amanda has been a ghost for thirty years. Within the forests a different line is drawn between life and death. To save someone on the other side of that line, Eli is forced to make a tragic choice.
