I've reviewed these as individual segments, with an overall view at the end.
1 - Anti-Piracy
The announcer (played by Phil Herman) opens up with a chilling warning about piracy. I really enjoy Herman's acting; he always has an edge to him that screams horror and terror. This is an excellent way to begin this film. Directed by Phil Herman.
2 - Military Training
Sarge (played by Andrew Pierson) is teaching survival skills, only to meet a deadly end, by the killer (played by Carissa Pierson) and this is an irony that had me laughing. Directed by Andrew Pierson.
3 - Hotline
There is a man calling the Hotline for company (played by Rudy Ledbetter) and when someone answers the phone, there is a bone chilling message informing him that it's already too late - something terrible happens to him, adding mystery to this storyline. Directed by Rudy Ledbetter.
4 - Land Sale
This is awesome! A man is selling his land (played by Rick Pasquale) but there is something on the property they are trying to hide from potential buyers. Note to self: Always make sure when you buy land, that there isn't a hidden cemetery! This one had me laughing! Directed by Rick Pasquale.
5 - Got Milk?
A thirsty woman is craving a glass of milk (played by Morrigan Thompson-Milam) who doesn't realise there is something wrong with her drink. Directed by Morrigan Thompson-Milam. I hope my next glass of milk is okay.
6 - Room #4
Michael Blake (played by Miroslav Petkov) is left a note asking him to meet Clementine at the Cedar Hotel, Room #4. He has a VHS tape recording that has personal content on it. When he goes to the hotel, something otherworldly happens. I wasn't expecting this, what an awesome twist! I like the atmospheric change as he reaches the hotel, the place looks deserted, and there is a reason for that, which adds not only mystery but a sense of foreboding. Then we cut to a news reporter (played by Philip Brocklehurst) as he reports that Michael Blake has been missing for a week, under strange circumstances. I guess Clementine didn't want the tape to get out! Directed by Miroslav Petkov and Teddy Nikolova.
There are some interesting clips that I'd like to mention. There is a public service announcement that cuts in about how littering is bad for the environment. The voiceover (played by Andrew Parker) he does a good job with this. Meanwhile, there is a man who is eating food (played by Ivaylo Stoyanov,) and the irony is not missed, when he throws his litter on the ground. Then, there is a man trapped inside a tape (played by Marvin Maddicks Jr.) and his screaming sent shivers down my spine. How he got trapped in there is not clear, but I wouldn't want to be him!
Overall, these are all well-made and thought-out pieces of artistic creations. I can tell a lot of thought went into compiling these into one video. They each have their own compelling elements, murder, mystery, gore and horror. This is definitely one to watch, as Miroslav Petkov is a fantastic filmmaker and director and I really enjoy reviewing anything he creates. He is a treasure in the indie world, and so many great people were involved in the making of this complete works. Mostly shot in SOV filming, which always is a wonderful way for POV with a more intimate perspective. What a great team working together. That is the beauty of indie filmmaking, everyone getting together for the betterment of the indie world.
