| THE REVIEW This story follows 2 brothers whom lost their brother Gabriel at a young age by the hands of a serial killer. Through the years the 2 remaining brothers still remain haunted by images of Gabriel. These images of Gabriel, strike a nerve within these two brothers to subject innocent bystanders to the same fate which once befell their younger brother. With this film writer/director Jeff Hayes, gives you a front row seat into the cerebral psychotic mind of a serial killer, The film always seems to head down a steep never ending tunnel of madness, as you witness grisly murder after murder. Each Murder is as much if not more relentless than the last. The two revenge thirsty brothers are played by real life brothers, Chris and Kevin Morgan, whom do an excellent job here. More so, Kevin Morgan as he proved to be more sadistic and at moments in the film, humorously funny, whether it be teasing a victim or pounding in their skulls! All of the victims are quite convincing with the exception of Rodney , played horribly by Percy Gallimore. Also I can't leave out the rather horrid portrayal of the elderly next door neighbor Mrs.. Simmons, put forth by Nina Morgan. The brightest of all of the brothers' victims is Sue played by Susan Hayes, Jeff's real live sister, with a knack for improving, each second into the film and her cute accent, it doesn't fail to make Susan a standout here. Hayes, when behind the camera, seems to know just what the horror fan wants and needs and it also shows that Hayes is indeed respectful to horror, and quite the horror fan himself as well. This film is one hell of a dark carnival, a carnival in which there are no prizes to be won, just a death sentence to receive! |

SCORE 7/10 Hayes is great when it comes to an ear for sound, horror inspired beats, as well as an original track laced by the director himself. |

IMPRESSION OF THE FILM Me being un biased when I say this, this film is something a little different than you are accustomed to seeing everyday. It offers a look behind the eyes of a killer and not the tired and worn out perspective of a killers victims. I will say that this film is truly remarkable, any horror fan is sure to see that. I recommend this without looking back, get a hold of Mr.. Hayes, steal it from your neighbor, do whatever it takes just to give this indie film a shot! |
