Featured review
now that's entertainment!!
I Love LACED.
The comradery between the actors is palpable, especially between the leads, Rodney (DeShawn Long), Mitch (Maarten Olaya) and Lizzy (Jackie Diehl). Their rapid fire discourse carries the film throughout, and make 90 minutes feel more like 60. I laughed. I cried. I wanted to vomit. This movie is definitely not going to be everyone's cup of tea. There are no heroes here. Only victims. And lots of spooky scaries along the way.
I will say, it would be interesting to see what this crew could accomplish with higher production values. The film does suffer from glitchy and sometimes erratic sound quality, but this is somewhat compensated for with a piano based score, also from director Colin Marshall.
Technical issues aside, frankly, this is one of the better indie films I've seen this year - a scrappy debut from upstart Best Ghost Video with acting that punches well above this movie's clearly microscopic budget. It is a truly unique film with witty dialogue and foul language throughout, made all the more refreshing by today's climate of endless PG-13 marvel soy banter. The photography has a dated quality that works well with the aesthetic. It recalls the late 90s/early 2000s era of Blair Witch style film making, without taking itself seriously (at all). Bravo.
