Written and directed by Dark Libra. Starring Braeden Baade, Anna Crysell and CJ Forst.
Plot: it is a quirky little spoof of Twilight, but instead of a vampire, he’s an angel and a wolf… LOL
This is a short film. About 25 minutes long. And it’s hilarious. Now, I liked Twilight. Our mother was addicted to the last movie for the longest. But this spoof is fuckin’ spot on. So, there’s this skinny white girl and she’s in the woods and she comes across a pale white guy in a tree. She immediately falls for him even though he tells her he’s a wolf. Then, not such awesome stuff happens.
The story is confusing, especially toward the end. The black and white is beautiful though and they should get an award for managing to shoot this all on an iPhone. We have a lot of questions after watching this though. We won’t tell you guys any of them cause you should have the pleasure of watching it yourself, but we are assured that Dark Libra is working on a sequel. And we can’t wait to get some answers. DJ has some theories that I think sound really good and we want to know how close to the truth he is.
It’s corny, but funny. There are obvious Nosferatu homages that work nicely. It’s got likable characters, decent acting (especially the guys, although Anna did well for an acting virgin), a really scary voice that totally creeped me out and even though the werewolf costume was so obviously fake, that mask was hideous and he’d shown me who he was, I would have run screaming right out of those woods.
We’re not sure what the rules were and it was completely unrealistic, BUT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE! It was fun to watch. We really enjoyed it. We gave it a 72/100.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I met George Romero. He was the kindest and sweetest man. He talked to me for longer than he should have with the line getting longer. He also held my hand. And when he noticed the ladybug I have tattooed on my wrist, he said he liked it and asked me it's name. Till then, it had not had a name. Now, I call him George.
2. I love stickers. All stickers. I just adore them. I even ask for stickers for Christmas! As a matter of fact, the birthday that just past, every member of my immediate family gave me sticker packs as gifts. Affordable and extremely appreciated.
3. I have never put much stock in astrology or horoscopes, but I LOVE the magic of the MBTI. Omg. I am an INFP and it actually sounds just like me. Introverted mostly. Creative always. Heart before head and not the most logical. Totally me! For better or worse.
4. It's no surprise I count horror so high up on the list of things that make me, me. However, it's so within my soul that I was part of the Horror Club in college. Interesting bunch. And even took a Horror Lit class as an elective. I got an A.
5. Coffee always makes me happy. Always. I'm particularly fond of caramel macchiatos. But I'll drink black coffee if it's the only thing available.
6. I hate shock for the sake of shock and endings that depress me. I always mention the movies Within (2016) and the Eli Roth produced, written and starred in, Aftershock (2012), as proof of this distate I have. I abhor the idea that just because I like horror, some people think I'd actually praise a movie that lets you think the "Final Girl" just made it through the night, only to slap her in the face with a tsunami.
7. We are big time animal people. I mean, if I could, I'd have an elephant, a bear, a zebra, a penguin, an otter and a meerkat, living with me. Seriously though. We have 2 dogs right now and 2 cats. Both cats we picked up when they each came to our front door hungry. And both dogs we got from 2 different sets of neighbors. Both who, unfortunately, don't know how to care for pets long-term. But they're happy and healthy now!!
8. Revisiting my love of horror, one of the above cats, my cat, is a little black guy named Church. Because Pet Sematary. His middle name is even Pascow. To give credit where credit's due, the name was DJ's idea. But he loves horror too!
9. I'm big into art. Along with movie posters and an Anne Frank quote, I have some actual paintings on my wall. I really think Dali paints beautifully when he wants to. And if I don't get to see Michaelangelo's Pieta in person some day, I will be very disappointed.
10. Lastly, I find Emily Dickinson's poetry intriguing. I took an elective course about her as well. But do you know I injected horror even there? I was given a poem to dissect and I picked one on death, of course. Then, I researched old "Death Photos" and even printed out copies for everyone in the class. They were so interested in looking at them that it stopped them from all looking at me, and I was able to deal quite well with my stage fright. Haha
