Sheryl

This movie was so much fun!!! I was privileged enough to see Sheryl at Horrorhound Filmfest and met Sheryl herself, Anthea Neri-Best, as well as director Justin Best. Their movie is such a wild ride but at its heart has a meaningful message. Less Texas Chainsaw Massacre, more MAY. On the surface, it is definitely a great horror comedy with some awesome kills, but on a deeper level, this movie really resonates with any woman that has had to deal with societal pressures, gaslighting and body image issues. It is girl power for horror fans. Absolutely cannot wait for this to be seen by the masses.

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.

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!!

The indie film "Sheryl" directed by Justin Best, takes audiences on a bold, satirical horror ride through the twisted standards of beauty in modern society. The films strikes a balance of gore and humor, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish. Anthea Neri Best's portrayal of Sheryl, was exceptional, her ability to switch between charming and chilling with just a creepy smile is tone setting. Sheryl offers a unique narrative that parodies classic horror motifs with references to iconic films like "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre." Sheryl is an unmissable film that showcases the creative potential within indie cinema.

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!
