Viewing Notes

3rd feature film of Day One at Chicago Horror Film Festival. Screenplay definitely rooted in the 70s w/flares of exploitation/grindhouse elements but the slick 2012 production loses that raw aesthetic offering up flimsy substitute that fails to live up to its potential. The premise reminds me a lot of late 70s horror but doesn’t execute it well to make it compelling or terrifying as it could be. Still give it a pass as it’s worth a look just wanted more from it.
