Blood Prism

I will credit this movie with being an interesting composition. If you watch R. O. T. O. R. Or Terror at Tenkiller enough times you see what the filmmakers are aiming at, and the director and lead actress really do have a something that they are going for.

I would be a liar if I said I did not enjoy the scenes that are only appropriate for adults. I'm human, all too human.

On the whole, I found myself walking alongside this story and getting the point.

Ok, it is a low budget flick. Start with the idea that you are watching someone's personal art and not a Hollywood mega-movie. There are lighting and sound flaws, but good camerawork. The acting is great considering the driving point is this lady's intensity and duality, a well played expression with a little exaggeration for effect and humor/shock. The story is weird and fun in a dark humor way, and the stylized slasher scenes have an adult comic book look and feel that I liked. If you're looking for something serious and thrilling, this is not going to be your cup of tea, but if you want a weird and fun psychodrama and don't mind the whole "indie film" vibe, I do suggest giving it a try. 7 out of 10 for originality, strangeness, and creative effort.

A possibly autistic woman goes around killing people that she thinks she can liberate from their problems but when she meets a random guy at a coffee shop she decides she's in love with him and doesn't want to kill him. Or does she?

I'm going to give Len Kabasinski a lot of credit for the attempt made here and there were some solid ideas in the mix. The main problem was the execution was all over the map.

Some tips: -DON'T use fade to black for EVERY SCENE -giallo style lighting needs consistency, not to change from shot to shot within scenes depending on who's talking -dubbing dialogue needs to match up with mouth movements AND match the other people talking in shots. If you don't have a consistent background sound everything sounds off -FADE music in and out instead of abruptly changing levels and the record scratch effect should be used SPARINGLY -if an actress is going to do a really put on performance make sure that it's actually something that an audience can stand to hear. Someone talking like a robot with a Minnie Mouse sounding voice and constantly bulging her eyes out while tilting her head is just WAY too much. Yeah I get the idea, but again, execution was not there -fully explore your concept so that there is a clearer idea of what is going on, it took too long to explain the concept here and it's not like the concept is some earth shatteringly great one. Focus and clarity.

What worked: the blood, violence and nudity were all of a good level for this kind of movie!

There was an attempt at saying something which was nice to see, rather than just killing for no reason Again, this isn't a put down, Len Kabasinski deserves everyone's support. He's a great guy doing the work. One day he'll get there!

I liked this film more than I didn't. I can see why it was classified as comedy (In that dark comedy sort of way). Definitely a mixed bag but over all one i enjoyed and would watch again.

Pros: Story is fun and the lead actress does well enough with the part. It took a me minute to get into her delivery but once I got what she was going for, it worked. Her spear hand voice remind me of something else but can't put my finger on it.

Cons: Some poor audio mixing and shot framing. Soundtrack could have been better.

??: Subtitles showed broken hex color codes for some reason. Maybe it was my tv?

Lead actress is unique, story catches your attention and keeps it all the way through
