Sick Product of a Sick System

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This baby begins on a truly startling note: A lovely young woman (shapely blonde stunner Zoe Sloane) wakes up in a cheap motel room covered in blood with the corpse of a recently slain man lying right next to her. Did the woman kill this man? Or did something even more awful and sinister happen last night? Writer/director Chris R. Notarile does his customary adept job of creating and sustaining an extremely tense, compelling, and unsettling mood; he makes especially effective use of an annoyingly incessant beeping dial-tone, a jittery hand-held camera style, and a spare shuddery score. All of these things further enhance the creepy and uneasy atmosphere. Sloane warrants special praise for her strong and convincing acting; this short is basically a one woman show and she pulls it off with impressive results. Chase Coleman likewise deserves kudos for spending the bulk of his screen time credibly playing a dead dude. The final resolution of the story is quite solid and satisfying, with a worthy central message about the dangers of possible rape involved with one night flings. Well worth a watch.
