Consider that this film was done in the Ozark Mountains area of Missouri. At last estimate, there were over 53,000 meth users in the Show Me State. Missouri has had a long and troubled past with meth production and as a distribution center for the finished product.
Not that long ago, illegal liquor or "moonshine" was a big problem. Now it's "hillbilly crack".

Peace, good beer and barbecue!

some good friends of mine live down near Bolivar. It's always seemed a bit less gothic than portrayed in the movie, in fact an all around pretty nice place. But that's the nature of movies, and that's OK, in a noir or neo-noir, you don't get bright sunny vistas, you get darkness and cold.
