Cinemaphobia (2009)
Independent delight!
In the great tradition of pop horror over the past 45 years 'Cinemaphobia' fits right next to Halloween and Scream with a Australian twang flare of humor which makes this a somewhat original sub-genre of it's own. 'Cinemaphobia' follows the relationships and shenanigans of a group of young people who have all gone along to view a horror movie marathon. What can be expected is a ravish of murder sequences, some incredibly slasher ridden - and others - not so great. Yet what stands out - and was maybe not so explored is the Killer, a new Killer - 'Mirrorface' - you guessed it, a man who wears a mirror on his face - revealing a 'faces of death' scenario to his victims. 'Mirrorface' stands out as the film greatest strength. And indeed, the music. Director Glenn Triggs's Halloween-esquire score evokes a midnight gloom and atmos-fear. Not the best film of 2010, but surely an entertaining piece of work for a film made for under $8,000. T.M. 2011
