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。

THE PLAYROOM unfolds like a dream wrapped around a family drama: four children in their attic hideaway make up a fantastic story, while downstairs their parents weave a drunken intrigue of their own. In a lyrical but gripping dual narrative, the story of the children’s life intertwines with the story they make up about their life–until the two stories collide and the delicate family structure collapses. The action plays out through the eyes of Maggie Cantwell, a tempestuous teenager who turns reality into a game and make-believe into a life-or-death undertaking. But Maggie is getting too old to believe in the tales she spins for the younger children. Before the night is over, she must confront the truth and make a terrible choice. Emotionally riveting and surprisingly funny, THE PLAYROOM is the story of how Maggie and her siblings survive the most fateful night of their lives.
