First night of grimmfest.
TO JENNIFER: from the director of the vile HATE CRIME comes another found footage film. This time somewhat more character led. Still shocking but easier to stomach than his previous film.
THE GLOAMING: nosferatu inspired short. Interesting but not sure what the hell wasgoing on!
NEXT EXIT: Another fun short. This one will make you think twice about using sat nav.
HOME SWEET HOME: A french canadian horror from the director of MUTANTS. This ones supurbly shot and very tense. The twist is guessable and it does nothing origional but stylish and tense enough to be worth seeking out.
GIRL AT THE DOOR: Groundhog day supernatural horror with a man haunted by a one night stand.
ATTACK OF THE BRAINSUCKERS: Another short. Homages 50s sci fi and horror to nake a statement on the legacy of labotomy.
ANGST, PISS + DRID: Short about two norweigen serial killers falling out of love. Sick as hell and very funny.
HOUSE WITH 100 EYES: A banal and pathetic couples are secretly making snuff films. All over the place tonally it veers from being hilariously funny to some of the sickest shit youll see. Worth seeking out if you have a strong stomach.
CRAZY FOR YOU: British short about a serial killer attempting to stop his nasty murder habit after he finds love. Very funny and worth a watch.
THE BORDERLANDS: Best film so far. VERY scary found footage picture with a haunted church and a dark pagan past. Compared to the wicker man but has more in common with STONE TAPE. Definately worth seeking this out. Im buying thi day of release.
ON AIR: German serial killer. Slick and nasty with plenty of twists but underwhelming coming after Borderlands. Still worth a watch
