8 Found Dead (2022)
Believe it won at Screamfest '22
Wasn't able to check it out at Screamfest, but I believe it won the award for best screenplay as well as best director.
However, I finally got to see it when it went to VOD. I enjoyed the watch. I think some viewers rate all films equally, low-budget indie films with limited takes, locations, shooting days, cast constraints, and footage, the same as huge-budget films that spend more money on their lunch catering than indies like this get to spend on every element combined. But to each their own.
I enjoyed several of the performances, and for me, the movie was more suspenseful than horror, as it was a lot of figuring out who the 8 found dead would be at the end and the reveal.
KillHer (2022)
Fun Romping Rollercoaster
The film is a genre-bending romp. Solid talented cast, directing, writing, editing, music score, art direction, make up, visuals... All the way through.
It premiered at Screamfest in Hollywood. It twisted, turned, and paid off bigly for what felt like all of us sitting at the World Premiere audience. It's not listed as a comedy, but humor comes out of the honesty of the characters and a few subtle nods to camp. I believe the audience laughed out loud more times than in many comedies. Think movies like Scream, Dale and Tucker vs Evil...
It was a sold out house, and according to organizers, the crowd was insane in the best of ways. The film got an immediate Encore Screening at Screamfest 2022.
