Nothing about this film in any way constitutes it being a "thriller", and the title is a complete lie; there's nothing fairy tale-ish or fable-y about it at all.
it's a plain, straight-forward drama about a little farm girl who discovers some rich big city man being held prisoner in her father's grain silo or something. We quickly learn this is part of a poorly thought out plan to ransom him for money because Ronald Reagan is evil and wrecking the economy so everyone's losing their farms.
all throughout the film, the girl's older brother is almost mentally deranged in how needlessly belligerent and violent he is towards her, culminating in an inexplicable sequence near the end where he literally tries to stalk and murder her with a rifle, and ends up killing a random neighbor woman who came to check up on them.
