This is the debut film from Adam Freeman (known for his roles in such films as 'Debbie Does Demons & 'Found Footage: The Series). The film stars: Roni Jonah (from 'Wicked Ones', Powerbomb, and the anthology 13 Slays till X-mas) as Mary Stephens, she is recovering from the loss of her brother Hank played by Stephen McGill (known for Curse of the Weredeer and Truly, Madly).
Though this loss is her best friend and confidant, Milo (played by the director himself) who is a cute and lovable 'spiritual enthusiast' and "sleep eater" who through different ways tries to console his friend as well as to help her get some kind of healing from this tragedy that she has endured.
Milo decides it is up to him (through the help of a paranormal TV show), to help Mary as best as he can so he introduces her to a spirit board as a means to communicate with her brother. Reluctantly, she takes up Milo on his offer and they come into contact with a spirit that has more than helping Mary on its mind. Nightmares begin, and Mary begins questioning her sanity after several visits from the spirit which has insidious plans for the young woman.
Although only running at a little over a hour, it covers alot of great topics in the horror genre which are executed and come across well on camera.
The film is a slow burn and can drag on for quite a bit until the horror really begins, but Milo and Mary are both quite likable that you enjoy getting to know them. The acting from all that are involved did a great job, the visuals and the colours used in the film are nothing short of beautiful. The colours remind me of early Argento or something from a Tim Burton film.
Do your self a favour and check out this fun lil gem and keep a eye out on this upcoming director.
