A MUST SEE for aspiring filmmakers out there. Deliciously META. Equal parts FUNNY and CREEPY. A FOUND FOOTAGE film whose premise actually MAKES SENSE.
This low-budget first feature from Tyler Schnabel and Sam Hanover will draw you in with compelling, natural acting and dialogue and will keep you genuinely UNSETTLED with its perfect blend of SURPRISES and slow burning TENSION.
I recently had the pleasure of seeing this film at the Fort Worth Indie Film Showcase, where it deservedly won Best Feature (non-Texas) and Best Horror/Thriller/Suspense. I thought the film's sense of place was great, the characters were immediately very believable, the sound design was great, and the way the film cuts back and forth between "real life" and the horror film the characters are making is wonderful. It's a very economical, focused, and effective story that works perfectly within a low-budget context.
FPR will be making the rounds at many more film festivals, I'm sure. It would probably do pretty well on a streaming service like Netflix, I'd imagine. Either way, this seems like a real door-opening kind of film for the guys who made it, so do keep an eye out for what's next from them in the years to come. In the meantime, definitely go see FRAZIER PARK RECUT!
