This Amateur film is an anthology Chris Lamartina, author of “President’s Day” coming at us on a licensed DVD. Given that the Director made regarding professionally for $ 5,000 trash-slasher “President’s Day”, then I would venture to suggest that his debut budget was at best a few thousand. However, the overall quality of the film is far superior to a more budget underground movies.

Style Lamartine is immediately recognizable. The abundance of guitar music, as written by himself and borrowed from different rock bands, good pace, interesting plot, not walking the beaten rails and, of course, a kind of humor. Here it is, of course, not as much as in the “Day of the President”, and special effects and is almost there. However, this is the case when it is necessary to analyze in detail.

To begin to answer the question – which usually take lovers? Right, slasher or horror movies about zombies. Lamartine did not go this way, and erected an anthology of four short stories and the framing of the fifth. Moreover, the word “Novella” to the tales Lamartine especially applicable. They all have an interesting plot and an unexpected ending, even Recalling “a Kaleidoscope of horror” George Romero.

The film begins with the fact that a student comes into the library. There he accidentally stumbles upon a handwritten book of stories and begins to read, plunging into a world of imagination unknown to the author.

So, on stage comes the first Novella, called “the Boogeyman”, but don’t even think that you will find something similar to “Boogeyman” Ulli Lamella. Despite the forgivable flaws on the part of the professional (Lamartine universities graduated from, taught myself to shoot a movie), it often captivates the unsettling, dark atmosphere that in itself has. With no special effects, no other delights of traditional horror, Novella is about a young man, haunted by the Boogeyman, a creature in the mask from the bag – like Jason, but without the slit for the eyes. His doctor thinks the Boogeyman is the personification of fear of the hero, and therefore advises him to go to the house where it all began, where was killed his father. Subsequent events it is better not to describe, that came out spoiler. We need only say that the thought Lamartine moves rather in the opposite of the expectation of the viewer direction.

This Novella is one of the best in the anthology, reminds a bit of kinoeye Louis Delluc, his understanding of the cinematic image. Louis Dellyuk was convinced that the filmed objects can be cinematic, that is, the image of themselves, conveying to the viewer a kind of coded message. So the boogeyman Lamartine becomes a way of fear, and awakening in the viewer a subconscious anxiety. So it’s easy to forget that the boogeyman is just an extra in the bag. He inevitably seems to be something infernal, from which indeed there is no salvation. This story may even remind you of “Sinister” and “Eve of Halloween” shot later. And remember “Somnia”, and have sincerely to regret, that some lover in the movie dropout-Amateur Lamartine own hands and rather worse, than showered with money Mike Flanagan. Rarely in low-budget horror movie transforms the reality, as it projects the image. And sincerely rejoice that again without any special effects took a true novel of horrors, where fear as it filled the air, and the feeling of anxiety leaves literally for a minute.

The following short story about the werewolf. But don’t think it will be about Eeyore that whole movie chewing on people. This short story comic. Lamartine was right to feel that after a terrible novel you need to give discharge to the viewer and little to amuse. Especially the ironic ending of the novel, truly the most original among all the werewolf feeds. You can only say that this Novella tells us that werewolf and nothing human is alien.

The third novel myself seriously. It tells about a girl who needs to go to the house of great-aunt for the last time to check for valuables before the sale. The main character is a pianist and her daughter’s grandmother, also a pianist, was murdered in that house 40 years ago my boyfriend. And the girl has some guy who followed her, that a good fun night. But the house is clearly something wrong. Do not repeat the bloody story?

And again, Lamartine deceiving the expectations of the viewer, effectively putting the point in the novel, but rather a comma. He cleverly mixes past and present so that I can literally feel the ghosts of the ancient bloody history come alive once again when the heroine dared to break the long quiet of the house with the sounds of a piano, lightly playing tunes that played her aunt before she died. Director reports a disturbing atmosphere through detail, whether a certain shadow, promahnulsya past the wall when he heard the sound of music, or any creaks upstairs, chandelier in the kitchen that constantly flashes. It seems a bit dark, which is so afraid of the heroine, hiding from her as a little girl, under a blanket, envelop the whole house. I would Wake up in the dark last night?

The fourth Novella the comic again. Lamartine could not sign in his love for b-horror, but because the main characters here, two employees of the theater, which is about to close down. One day, while cleaning, finds one of them behind the screen a film in which he sees the girl he saw before in the hall. All anything, Yes only the film for 50 years. What secrets fraught with cinema?

Lamartine irony about evil, like stealing into our world from the other side of the screen. Making clear overtures to “fright Night” Director is doing his little comic novel that horror can be useful, because you can learn from them what is useful in life. Perhaps this story should come up with a more unexpected ending, like the previous three novellas, but this disadvantage redeems 5 Novella called “the Library”. Only in the book about the library nothing is written, and the student in disbelief – what the hell? But what is behind? Who is standing there? Yes, no cost to the student instead of preparing for lessons to read all sorts of scary books. Curiosity is a Vice, and for him to be punished.

This is just some General things about the debut Lamartine. While browsing sometimes forget that it is, in fact, besmudged. Small duration of 67 minutes truly flies by unnoticed, because the Director tried to make a movie, with cinematic effects when the viewer forgets that this is just a movie and imbued with history. Rarely, very rarely in our meager for a good horror time, you see something unusual, not only in terms of plot, but in terms of filing stories. We quickly forgot that horror is not the special effects. Take them away, what will remain? Perhaps the fear lies not in the brutal murders, and in proper impact on the subconscious of the viewer, when, figuratively speaking, he will begin to pursue the boogeyman of his personal fear. Well, a good sense of humor always atone for any shortcomings, which this Amateur film is sufficiently small. Lamartine took off so don’t put it a high rating, especially the second movie proved that he is not inflated figure, and the original thrash metal Director.

Rating: 7,5
