Director Paul Natale enters the scene with his first film, Un-Real. Un-Real is a story that any aspiring filmmaker can relate to. In fact, any artist can relate to the harsh realities of rejection. However, as viewers, we don't always get to see exactly what rejection can do to a man through the lens of his camera. A first-time filmmaker, played by Sean King, submits his movie to a film festival committee. A couple of snooty judges, played by newcomers Steven Marchi and Peter Kalkau, scoff at the attempts of King's character to achieve realism in his horror short 'The Forest of Death.' King swears to prove to these skeptics that he can, indeed, provide realism by filming a new horror short in no better place then their very own movie theater, where the film festival will take place. This time, the murder scenes are very real. As Un-Real unfolds, we watch King's anger seethe as victim after victim falls prey to his rampage of murderous guerrilla film tactics. I don't want to give too much away, but definitely a film worth seeing if not just for the loathsome, angst-ridden murder victims to which we feel little sympathy for. A nice touch to a film with such unsettling material as this one.
