Screenhead

All right, folks–with just one movie left to cover that’s not courtesy of the boys at Fewdio, we’re down to the wire in terms of what we’ve got left, and tonight, we’re tackling Samaritan, part of the Halloween Horror Nights short film contest lineup.

This time, a man on his way home gets a whole lot more than he bargained for while changing a flat tire.  He thinks he may have found someone in trouble…but HE’S the one in trouble.

I have to admit, this is a downright creepy little package.  There was a great adrenaline rush there through most of this, and they don’t waste much time at all getting to the downright freaky.  I’m truly impressed by how good this turned out.  It’s a spectacular chunk of awesome, all right, and about the only thing bad you can say for it is that they don’t do a whole lot of explaining the things you’ll see.

What was that on the road?  What was that at his house?  Why is all this unpleasant stuff happening to HIM?  Plenty of things I would’ve liked to know, but thanks to the nature of short film, forget it.

The Screenhead Ten Scale gives this surprising blast of unexplained scary a respectable seven out of ten.  This could’ve made a really sweet feature-length title with some expositition.
