I'm amazed and excited by this new writer. Clearly, he knows the genre and is able to "work it." Though I read a lot of mysteries, I am not normally a thriller/movie fan mostly because when a book scares me, I can close it, but movies have special effects that heighten the emotions that make closing my eyes and holding my ears not work. Fortunately, this must be a low budget film because some of the acting is a bit stilted and the make-up on the wounded child is amateurish enough to make me remember those Saturday matinée movies back in the day. This turns out to be a good thing because it makes this less scary. I'm not suggesting this is amateur movie making -- it's really a good short movie. But what I like most is the story itself which is a great mixture of the familiar with the unfamiliar -- or should I say,the generic formula done with originality. I think Melvin Johnson, Jr. has talent and I eagerly await Mr. Johnson's next film.
