Sheryl

What better way to call much needed attention to society's pervasive expectation that a woman look and behave a certain way, than a psychopathic, rage-filled (and extremely fun to watch) blood-bath of a horror movie? Having grown up on Freddy K, Jason V, and Michael M., SHERYL is a slasher horror film much enjoyed by this 80's kid! But pull back some layers and you also find an all important message that hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-woman who has been made to believe she isn't enough! SHERYL isn't just beautifully shot, it's also well directed and to say Anthea Neri Best "kills it" in the titular role would be an understatement. Her revenge path is a bloody damn good ride!

Great indie with a good message and fantastic music. The lead actress is phenomenal as well. A lot of very funny moments. The audience definitely cracked up many times and I can see why this won. I hope this gets a bigger release so horror fans can check it out.

It reminded me a bit of Texas Chainsaw Massacre obviously (you'll understand after seeing the film... no spoilers here) but total opposite in tone. It's very much a fun horror movie more in the vein of Evil Dead 2 or Tucker and Dale vs. Evil except lower budget but still quite good. Humor isn't easy to pull off but they did it with flying colors.

Hilarious, thought provoking, and a bloody good time! I was laughing out loud with the audience through out the entire movie and at the end of it I was team Sheryl all the way! It was a refreshing and a different angle for a horror film. The movie sheds light on all of the societal pressures and beauty standards that women struggle with everyday. The actors were all phenomenal and I was particularly moved by the lead actress. She did a stunning job bringing Sheryl to life and gets you to empathize with the character even with all of the horrific acts she commits. I can't wait to see this movie again!

Sheryl is SUCH an amazing film! Humor, gore, and kills that make it a time for anyone! One thing I truly loved most about this movie is how it touched me. Watching it and relating so much to Sheryl (not the killing of course LOL) but just watching her move through life and wanting to be accepted for who she was and her looks really struck a chord with me. I was definitely crying at some parts of it especially the ending. There is a scene with a monologue that reminds me so much of the scene in the Barbie movie and is so moving. This is one that is going to touch people everywhere! 5 stars easily! ALSO the main actress and director/writer are the KINDEST people!!

This is the top of the mountain when it comes to indie film making! It's a fun ride with so much heart and honesty. The production value is amazing with beautiful framing, lighting camera work and everything comes together to create a wonderful and unique feeling of dread while also keeping it light hearted when the situation calls for it. The main actress does a phenomenal job in the roll and makes the audience relate to and sympathize with her character, even tho she is doing some truly gruesome acts.

This movie brings the emotion, the story and most importantly it brings the blood!! This is a true horror movie, however, this is also the kind of movie that will make fans out of non horror movie lovers! Can not recommend this movie enough for horror fans and non horror fans alike!!
