Otis is a redneck who hates city folk, but likes human flesh. Stepping in his way is a group of teenagers who will become his next potential meal. Certainly you can say that Eat Me is in truly bad taste, with rough acting, visuals and editing. But I couldn’t help enjoying it up to a certain point. In this highly uneven film there are undeniably...

Five teenagers are forced to clean up the woods of Sleepy Hollow as a punishment from their teachers, and the body count starts as one by one they are decapitated by a man with a jack-o-lantern mask and a sword; but who could it be? This movie starts with an effective blueish, grainy, hand-held sequence that involves a jogger in the woods, probab...

In 87 Topaz, writer and director Bill Kersey finds his late grandfather’s diary and dramatizes his nostalgia through the use of photographs, home movies, narration, and music. The editing is solid, the music adequate, and the visuals are often quite interesting. However, I think it might be too abstract in order to be appreciated by a wider audie...

Somewhere in suburban South Florida, Skye (Lori Ann Chism) is an idealistic aspiring artist working in a movie theater where she develops a crush on redheaded co-worker Carson (Bryan Krandle), a loser who cannot let go of a dead-end relationship with his bitchy controlling girlfriend Claire (Karen Eke). He dreams of the safety of a home, a marriage...

The Best of Sonnyboo is an interesting DVD compilation of 30 shorts using different kinds of media and genres from prolific Microcinema short moviemaker Peter John Ross. Overall, however, the compilation is uneven. Some shorts are quite forgettable or I simply didn’t find them that funny (Elevator or Pulp Diction come to mind), while others rea...

This comedy short from Bill Kersey and Edward Kim features one of the best dog actors seen at the no/low budget level. Again, like Kersey’s short Solace, although completely different in tone, this is a story told without words. It concerns a bored poodle left home alone for a few hours and his burning need to explore his owner’s trash bin desp...

Please note - the copy of Sixteen Tongues reviewed here at MicrocinemaScene was a preliminary edit with unfinished sound presented on a VHS multiple generations lower than the master.  Many of the technical shortcomings cited in the production will not exist when the movie is officially released in February, 2005. Sometime in the future two...

Army Ranger Daniel Abrams (John Ross) has just come home from service in Iraq. His goals are simple; to live a peaceful life here in America and find love with Myra (Joelly Mejia), a beautiful private he met during his tour of duty. This dream comes to a screeching halt when Father Paul (Michael McRae), a teacher he knew from high school, requests ...

Ben Deemer (Tommy Merrill) is just your average teenager, an underachiever who loves horror movies and gets punched regularly between classes at Vincent Price High. Average, that is, until he meets Maggie (Lorri Hamm), the girl of his dreams, only to find out she’s been dead for six months. So Ben and his new zombie girlfriend decide to go st...

Somewhere in LA, a serial killer (Jason Carter) nicknamed “Vlad” is leaving his female victims without a drop of blood in their bodies. After a few killings he is finally set up by the police and taken to a hospital sponsored by a government institution. After a generic opening with bland action, followed by some exposition, the theme...
