Oliviero is a burned-out writer, living at his estate near Venice, his dead mother dominating his imagination. He is also a degenerate: sleeps with his maid and his ex-student, hosts Bacchanalia for local hippies, and humiliates his wife Irina in front of strangers. She lives in terror. When a young woman is murdered, police suspect Oliviero. Things get complicated when his young, beautiful, and self-confident niece, Floriana, pays an unexpected visit. A silver-haired stranger observes. More women die, and thoughts of harming Irina give Oliviero new inspiration. What's Floriana's game and who's the observant stranger? Watching all is a black cat named Satan.

Amanda Fuller is dynamite in Simon Rumley's (Red, White & Blue) mind-bending gothic psychodrama about a fashion-obsessed woman whose life falls spectacularly apart. You're unlikely to see many better performances this year than Amanda Fuller's mesmerising turn as April, a 30-something whose self-image and perception of life is determined by the vintage clothes she wears and sells at a funky emporium in Austin, Texas with husband Eric (Freak Me Out favourite Ethan Embry; The Devil's Candy, SFF 2016; Cheap Thrills, SFF 2013). When Eric strays, a devastated April meets Randall, a smooth-talker with a predilection for strange sexual games. That's just the start of this dazzlingly filmed and superbly edited journey into real and imagined worlds. A killer soundtrack rounds out the best film yet by genre-mashing British ace Simon Rumley (The Living and the Dead).
一位深夜的电台脱口秀节目主持人决定他厌倦了讲故事和采访人们。他打开电话排队,直接听到马歇尔敦居民的故事。夜间谈话者是一本微型恐怖选集,其中比尔·莫斯利(Bill Moseley)是深夜广播主持人,招募了听众的奇怪故事。像市场上的大多数电影(微型恐怖片)一样,观众也有一个混合的袋子。“ Gruenwald House”很容易成为三个主要故事中最好的,但受到大型演员和欠发达的故事的阻碍。但是,珍娜·鲁伊斯(Jenna Ruiz)和布列塔尼·史密斯(Brittany Smith)的表演使观众参与其中。在SFX艺术家兼面具制造商的“后国” Scott Blake中,刻画了一个近乎杂种的Hillbilly,让人联想到Crypt Keeper的出色表现,但这个故事最终是一次跳跃恐慌的漫长尝试。同样,音频和摄影是一个混合的袋子。例如,该作品本可以使用搬运工毯子,甚至可以使用沉重的棉被来抑制通过房屋场景听到的一些回声/混响。总体而言,显然为Bill Moseley的细分市场节省了最大的努力。正是在那一刻,我们看到了导演Topher Chambers的大部分创造力,这就是为什么这部电影即使在7点也令人沮丧的原因。由于这部电影仅列出了Chambers作为导演,因此观众期望在制作过程中会有更多的凝聚力。无论是相机移动还是图像图案,甚至只是专注于演员,每个短片都感觉到它是通过完全不同的生产来完成的,尤其是与Bill Moseley的包裹相比。尽管如此,这仍然是Topher Chambers和Rutledge作品的略有改进,这是黑皮书(由多个作品创造的)选集,这最终就是为什么它值得获得7的原因。看到艺术家成长总是令人鼓舞。
