This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
From the soundtrack to the acting, amazing! I enjoyed this one and I really do hope you get the funds to complete this movie. One of the best short films I've seen in a long time.
I loved every second of this 1970s throwback. It reminded me of the gems you'd find broadcast as the NBC Movie of the Week. The acting was fine, the atmosphere was effective and the music was much better than most found in short independent films. Several reviewers have suggested an expanded feature adaptation - I second that.In full disclosure, I received a screener copy of the film from the director. When it arrived via U.S. Mail as a VHS clamshell complete with $1.00 Rental Sticker and a bonus audio cassette (that looked just like the RCA titles I used to see at Tower Records) I was skeptical. So much authenticity usually creates a hype that isn't often achieved.I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised, and I look forward to more from this creative team.
If you're a fan of 70s horror/mystery, then this short is perfect for you. Mary lives a very religious life which seems due to her mother (Carrie reference!) Mary has an obsession and will do anything to stop the demon from taking that away from her. *SPOILERS* I wish the audience was able to see Mary killing Beatrice. But then again it made it even more mysterious that we didn't know. The ending left me wanting more and seeing where else life and "Reverend Gary" takes Mary. The music score was absolutely perfect and created a very eerie atmosphere in every single scene. Most of the time the soundtrack to a horror film can make or break it, this one definitely MADE IT! (Isn't it amazing how music can make us feel uncomfoand tense without knowing why or what's happening next in a film?) Now that's what I call an amazing film! If you like Halloween, House of the Devil, and Suspiria, then you will love this short film!
From the start this film leaves you with a whose done it taste in your mouth the 15 minutes don't give it justice. Bravo to everyone who was on board with this, to the soundtrack to the actors to the camera crew and director. I hope you get the funds to complete this. One of the best short films I've seen.
