“Feral State” (** out of four) was a jumbled melodrama about a dark and charismatic father figure (Ronnie Gene Blevins) who leads a group of misfit kids (Jaden Piner, Sif Saga, and others) as they wreck havoc throughout trailer parks and swamps in central Florida. Promising opening holds your attention but film stalls gradually afterwards and never fully comes back alive, mostly because it doesn’t have much story or plot complications. Film’s characters are more detached than enveloping. Blevins is strong in the lead.
