17th Annual Shriekfest L.A.[2017]
Every year, as Halloween approaches, several festivals dedicated to simple / indie often gleefully low budget horror films take place here in Los Angeles and elsewhere ('tis the season ...). Of the films that played recently at the
17th Annual "Shriekfest L.A.", I was able to view and review the following:
Mercy Christmas [2017] (directed and cowritten by
Ryan Nelson along with
Beth Levy Nelson) is a quite simple film with a fairly strong message. It's about a family that would harvest lonely people and otherwise "losers" and then cook them / eat them for Christmas. True, it's an exaggeration, but that's then what low budget indie horror films often are, and well, the point is well taken / understood. I've known all kinds of otherwise "good people" who "roasted people" that they didn't understand (and at times have _chosen_ to not understand) in effect forfeiting their "good people" label, though often not understanding what they are doing. Yes, for a Catholic priest, this film was not easy to watch, but again ... I do, and most others seeing the film would ... understand -- 3 Stars.
The Glass Coffin (orig. El ataúd de cristal) [2016] [IMDb] [FA.es]* (directed and cowritten by
Haritz Zubillaga [IMDb] [FA.es]* along with
Aitor Eneriz [IMDb]) is actually a quite respected horror film that comes from the Basque Country of Spain, about a Spanish actress (played by
Paula Bontempi) on her way to receive a "Lifetime Achievement Award" finds herself trapped in her limo and ... forced to confront (fairly / unfairly?) some of the sins of her past. I suppose the one thing that I would suggest if a North American version of this film were contemplated (especially given the current revelations surrounding Hollywood mogul
Harvey Weinstein [wikip], following other accusations directed at
Bill Cosby [wikip] and previously
Woody Allen [wikip] and even
Roman Polanski [wikip]) that the one being confronted by one's past be _male_ and perhaps even a director / producer. Otherwise, quite excellent and certainly discussion evoking film -- 3 1/2 Stars
The Shift [2017] (directed by
Louis Benjamin Del Guercio, written by
Gregory Alan Ballard) is another fun / low-budget horrow movie, this time of the "SciFi" / "body-snatcher" variety. Twenty-something Steve and Jeremy, friends from high school days (and played by
Reese Mishler and
Paul Woodfolk respectively) go on a ride-along with Jeremy's uncle, an Indianapolis P.D. officer, presumably working on a documentary piece on the Indianapolis P.D. find themselves getting more than they bargain for: At a routine traffic stop, their IPD officer ends up being killed by the person he stopped, who behaves very much like a zombie. What's going on? Much often over-the-top / amusing ensues ... ;-) -- 3 Stars.
