Shriekshow

Magically unnatural dialogue, nothing that could be described as acting and genuinely impressively derivative plots....amazingly entertaining in all its awful glory! Also the cinematographer has an excellent sense of color and framing that i thoroughly enjoyed.

My son is starting his love of horror films and I had to show him this wonderful local mid-atlantic offering. Cool location, fun cameos, and exactly the right balance of low budget/high reward.

Brad twigg continues to outdo himself in his latest installment to the fuzzy monkey films library. I got to see the world premiere in Waynesboro PA and the movie was amazing. The storylines the actors everyone did an amazing job. Actor and writer Chris O'brocki as the ringmaster was one of my favorite roles of his so far creepy, engaging and downright wicked looking forward to the DVD release.

I've been a fan of Fuzzy Monkey for a few years, and each release is an improvement in all areas: writing, acting, effects etc. I was in attendance at the premiere of Shriekshow and it was a great time and the cast and crew gave an excellent Q&A afterwards. You could tell this film was a labor of love and they genuinely had a good time making it, as I had a good time watching it.

Worth a quick mention is that Felissa's and Tuesday's roles were small bit parts with no real impact to the film. I think they were paid just enough to get their name on the box to try to help push this one. It worked; here I am. The opening credit roll is above average for this low-expectation sector, with clear video and nicely framed shots (Even as someone was dropping leaves right in front of the camera). It quickly found it's expected low footing when the actors showed up. Acting was iffy on some and ok on others. Nothing to call out on highly charismatic actors, outfits, or acting skills. Same for dialogue, script, or daring content. What did stand out was the quality of some of the outdoor props, Halloween decor, and set pieces here and there. Also, the third act was pretty decent, and make-up/effects were good minus the little girls squirming around trying to play dead... Ha! If you suffer from coulrophobia, it might be worth a view, at least the 3rd act.
