Chloe's Happy Hour

Taking a look at the credits for the next short film I was going to watch at the online part of the Soho Film Festival, something about the name of the director looked oddly familiar. Checking round, I was happy to discover that he had directed I Am Lisa (2020-also reviewed), which was the first feature film I saw at FrightFest. This led to me going to meet Chloe.

Note: Review contains some plot details.

View on the film:

Talking to regular viewers on her live show about trying to get her life back in a good place, Paige Maria gives a sparkling turn as Chloe, thanks to Maria giving Chloe a breeziness, even when she is covered in blood.

Dropping in on the live show backed by relaxing string music, editor/writer/ director Patrick Rea reunites with I Am Lisa cinematographer Evan Wunsch break the calming blue light coming from the laptop screen with a wicked blood spray, that drips to a tasty macabre ending with practical effects, on Chloe's happy hour.
