Still from "CONFESSIONS"
Sometimes my life is like the opening of
LOST HIGHWAY. The doorbell rings, I answer and solely find a package
at my door. Today, the "mystery gift" was a DVD with two short films on it.
Being that I was out of Baby Oil and had time to murder until the delivery girl
arrived, I watched them both. I’m happy to report that they blew my beret clean
off!
The first film was called CONFESSIONS,
directed by CHRIS WHITE. A professional thug viciously tortures a priest to get
some "info". Although I saw where the story was going (I guessed the ending
early on), it wasn’t the punch that fascinated me but the theme heavy trek that
got me there. Directing wise, I kept thinking "Tarantino" for some reason. Good
job!
The second film was named QUIET, directed
by SYLVAIN WHITE and written by CHRIS WHITE (they’re related I assume). This baby kicked my ass via its
extreme shots, tight editing, mad cam tricks, strong horror tones and a harsher
than harsh ending. I loved the topic at hand too! Man castrated by evil wife,
man finally loses his beans and man fights back…hard! YOWZER! What a way to
start the day!
Upon further research, I found out that CONFESSIONS is not available anywhere
(bummer) but QUIET airs every month on HBO/CINEMAX. To find out when you can
catch it go here, click schedule, type in QUIET and have a blast! If the name CHRIS WHITE sounds
familiar to you, well he’s the dude behind the impending horror flick "THE LAST
STOP" which we reported on
here.
I’m done…now where’s that damn Baby Oil delivery chick! NO TIP FOR YOU!
