Variant

After a fantastic day of marathon viewings,I decided to close the final day of the Soho Horror Film Festival by watching the shortest feature film in the line-up,and examining this variant.

View on the film:

Wisely kept to a trim 41 minute runtime, art director/co-special effects creator (with James Bell & Matt Jefferson) writer/director Joe Meredith offers up the joyful sight of him digging his hands into sticky splatter practical effects, with Meredith making this alien infection bring gory killings and gloopy burning red blood be splashed across the screen.

Although the plot is kept rather hazy, director Meredith places the emphasis on the Shot On Video format, with the alien variant spreading a wonderfully raw, grubby atmosphere from the warm SOV fuzz,which gives the gore a great rough,handmade appearance as a new variant is created.
