A young actress played by Alex Essoe is struggling to
make it in the business. Her friends are
all bohemian artists from actresses and film makers. Yet she’s the less talented of them all. Finally one of her auditions goes well, and
it looks like she’ll be able to quite her waitressing job and start her career
as an actress. Except the production
company that is interested in her has other ideas. I really enjoyed this low-budget fable about
the taint of wanting to become famous at the point of literally selling your
soul. It’s a simple story but it
works. It’s both gruesome and poetic as
only a horror film can be. Directed and
written by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer. B+
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
