Vicki (2012)
Directed by Bill Palmer
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
VICKI is a loving, somewhat subtly comedic homage to John Carpenter’s truly underrated Christine, adapted from the novel by Stephen King. It’s also a stand-alone tribute to 80′s horror in general, with very controlled compositions, non-choppy edits, a natural lighting style (like the master, Dean Cundy), and a killer synth soundtrack by Umberto and Time Fighter.

Viewing Notes
Vicki is a sweet love letter to Carpenter, King and all of Christine done short film style with all the necessary pastiche to make it work. Yet it’s clever enough to own the material and offer a new spin, albeit firmly rooted in 80s flash and fluff. Terrific little tribute that’s worth seeking out esp. for fans of that decade (and the horror films it produced). Hands down my favorite short at the Chicago Horror Film Festival. Would love to own this one.
