Made Me Do It

Made Me Do It is an homage to madness and all things that draw blood. It manages to play with well known slasher and horror tropes while still exploring new ground -- something exceedingly rare nowadays and makes for a refreshing watch.

In a slasher film, the cast really only needs to be serviceable, but in a good slasher, the final girl needs to stand out and Anna B. Shaffer, as Ali, absolutely stands out -- lovely and brave -- and a character you truly come to care about. Kyle Van Vonderen, as Thomas, does an amazing job being absolutely creepy and helps channel the Black Christmasesque psychosis that much of the film is filtered through.

If you dig horror, you owe it to yourself to watch Made Me Do It.
