After sadly missing it at the online Frightfest earlier in the year,I was happy to see this title appear at GRIMM Fest,leading me to get set for some fun.
View on the film:
Cutting into the middle of a killer counselling session, Evan Marsh gives a very funny performance as Joel,who scrambles with fear when he realises that he is in too deep with the self-help group, whilst Amber Goldfarb unleashes Carrie's killer quips and bare knuckle action against the likes of David Koechner's hilarious turn as awkward murderer Zachary.
Charged by a superb, banging synch score from Steph Copeland, co-writer/ (with James Villeneuve) director Cody Calahan reunites with cinematographer Jeff Maher,and sits Joel in a self-help/counselling meeting drenched in neon light, which stylishly bubbles up as Calahan zooms-in on discussions in the group becoming heated.
Unraveling the reason the group which Joel has stumbled on has gathered, Calahan loads up tasty gory Horror Comedy with crunchy Action whip-pans that gives each of the self-help group a menacing atmosphere,which stays intact as blood sprays across the screen from Carrie's attempt to safely get Joel out.
Sliding Joel into the meeting clueless, the screenplay by Calahan & Villeneuve draws up wicked thumbnail sketches for each member of the group,who the writers twist from the playfully dead-pan into blistering menace as the trust they gave to Joel turns sour, and the writers crack open their macabre killer instincts, leaving Joel having to survive a night of vicious fun.
