In this powerful and dramatic thriller about betrayal and bitter revenge, a handsome young U.S. Marine called Elvis (Gael Garcia Bernal) returns to his Preacher father’s sleepy hometown dreaming for some kind of reconciliation, having been abandoned by the man as a child. The King is a controversial tale of tragic retaliation and twisted love.
"“James Marsh has collaborated with hot screenwriter Milo Addica to create a horror story that’s as pretty as a candy box but contains only poison…”"
