Sheryl

This is the top of the mountain when it comes to indie film making! It's a fun ride with so much heart and honesty. The production value is amazing with beautiful framing, lighting camera work and everything comes together to create a wonderful and unique feeling of dread while also keeping it light hearted when the situation calls for it. The main actress does a phenomenal job in the roll and makes the audience relate to and sympathize with her character, even tho she is doing some truly gruesome acts.

This movie brings the emotion, the story and most importantly it brings the blood!! This is a true horror movie, however, this is also the kind of movie that will make fans out of non horror movie lovers! Can not recommend this movie enough for horror fans and non horror fans alike!!

Sheryl is SUCH an amazing film! Humor, gore, and kills that make it a time for anyone! One thing I truly loved most about this movie is how it touched me. Watching it and relating so much to Sheryl (not the killing of course LOL) but just watching her move through life and wanting to be accepted for who she was and her looks really struck a chord with me. I was definitely crying at some parts of it especially the ending. There is a scene with a monologue that reminds me so much of the scene in the Barbie movie and is so moving. This is one that is going to touch people everywhere! 5 stars easily! ALSO the main actress and director/writer are the KINDEST people!!

I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of this film a few months back, and I absolutely adore this movie! Horror Comedy is a genre that is tough to pull off, but this films balances the scares and laughs effectively. The pacing is solid, the cinematography and direction are top notch, but its script is a real stand-out; underneath the thick layer of blood splattering the screen, there's a deep emotional heart at its core. Add in some excellent practical effects (and a stand-out mask,) Sheryl is a Horror icon in the making! I had a wonderful time viewing this movie, and can easily recommend it to Horror/Comedy/Rom-Com fans of all backgrounds!

What better way to call much needed attention to society's pervasive expectation that a woman look and behave a certain way, than a psychopathic, rage-filled (and extremely fun to watch) blood-bath of a horror movie? Having grown up on Freddy K, Jason V, and Michael M., SHERYL is a slasher horror film much enjoyed by this 80's kid! But pull back some layers and you also find an all important message that hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-woman who has been made to believe she isn't enough! SHERYL isn't just beautifully shot, it's also well directed and to say Anthea Neri Best "kills it" in the titular role would be an understatement. Her revenge path is a bloody damn good ride!

This movie was so much fun!!! I was privileged enough to see Sheryl at Horrorhound Filmfest and met Sheryl herself, Anthea Neri-Best, as well as director Justin Best. Their movie is such a wild ride but at its heart has a meaningful message. Less Texas Chainsaw Massacre, more MAY. On the surface, it is definitely a great horror comedy with some awesome kills, but on a deeper level, this movie really resonates with any woman that has had to deal with societal pressures, gaslighting and body image issues. It is girl power for horror fans. Absolutely cannot wait for this to be seen by the masses.
