We have a new entry in the mousy-picked-upon-girl-who-takes-violent-revenge horror sub genre akin to the likes of CARRIE, TAMARA, and MAY. This one is called BLACK BETTY and no, it’s not a Quentin Tarantino production (even though the title may suggest it). Those of you who are familiar with Q.T.’s films should understand what I mean. Anyway, BETTY takes place, surprise-surprise, in high school! Here is the fun-sounding plot:
Betty Brewer has always been an outcast at her High school and has always dreamed of being able to exact some vengeance on her cruel classmates. One night after school her prayers were answered, in the form of a vicious vampire attack that left her her something more powerful than she could of ever thought. With her new found strength, Betty begins to convert her fellow school rejects into a vampire army to take ravage her school prom. However Betty’s childhood crush and his pesky girlfriend have caught wind of Betty’s planned night of chaos and terror. They won’t go down without a fight which Betty is oh so willing to give them.
It kind of sounds like what the lame-seeming TWILIGHT wishes it could be. Plus, it’s being touted as a horror-comedy, a favorite combo of mine! Click here to check out BETTY’s website.
The cast is comprised of Jonathan Glassgow, Chelsi Sno, Krista Lien and Sandra Humm. Strangely, no one is listed as playing “BETTY”. Perhaps the filmmakers are keeping that under wraps until a later date. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any further info.
yeah, it was a stretch.
