It Knows You're Alone

This is the closest thing I've seen to the early-to-mid 2000s style of home video filmmaking that I can recall for a very long time; I'm thinking along the lines of the films in the Fangoria Blood Drive collections and homemade short films like that.

This looks filmed on a home camera and offers that specific vibe, complete with trippy graphic effects at the end which feel like they're ripped straight out of the aforementioned era, notably from the films of Wicked Pixel Cinema.

All in all though, despite its nostalgic vibe it didn't entirely win me over because I felt like I've seen everything from this film in countless other films over the last 20+ years but I am curious to see more from the director. It was eerie (and short) enough to make it through to the end but the ending "twist" has been done to death in the early-to-mid 2000's that this film loses points from me for that long-overused "twist."

I really think we'll look back on this era of Full Moon with fondness. It's not what we expect, but it's completely entertaining. It's filled with awkward Euro-strangeness and music that seems to set up some good old-fashioned Italian gore. It might not get to the guts, but the atmosphere and wtf moments are worth the price of admission. Looking forward to more surprises from the Delirium imprint.

The best thing I can say about this film, is that Bee Dawley has great breasts! I was tempted to replay the part where I fell asleep, but then decided not to.

I recognize Bee Dawley from other things I've seen her in! I hope she gets cast in projects with a better story line and dialog! This was beneath her!!

I'm digging these little moody groovy horror things Chris Alexander is making for Full Moon. Really unique, rough around the edges lo-fi arthouse movies. This one has some great moments and moods as well as some creepy music. The Jess Franco vibe is strong including the use of some of Daniel White's music and Alexander using a Franco pseudonym to shoot the movie himself. These are the kind of horror movies modern fans hate but are totally up my eurohorror alley.

It's a 47 minute "movie" (a length that includes a long opening credit sequence) and multiple scenes of slow silent walking. There are about four lines of dialogue and three scenes of the main actress slowly changing her clothes (although if you're a teenager really desperate for a bit of fleeting toplessness, I guess it has you covered there. I know people say this kind of thing a lot and exaggerate, but it honestly appears to have been made for no more than $40. It's "Birdemic" without all the action, plot, dialogue, characters, or effects. This is one of the most confounding things I have ever seen.
