Wigham is the only actor who seems to be having fun with the overwrought script; but he was born to play smarmy Southern creeps.

South of Heaven's most meaningful moments are in the interplay between Lilly and Sudeikis as the star-crossed lovers with time most definitely not on their side... It's hard not to wish that there'd been more time with them.

South of Heaven devolves into a rote thriller, with henchmen upon henchmen upon henchmen falling by the wayside until the inevitable showdown - which plays out in underwhelming fashion.

If it's worth watching it's entirely because of Sudeikis and Lilly.
