This delightful movie is by Eric Stonze of Scrapbook fame. With such a lovable title you can what type of movie this is. It also stars the lovely female from Scrapbook, yes none other than Emily Haack. So the the crew who brought you Scrapbook are back with an equally glum tale of abuse. The story. Emily being the nice lassie she is has fallen in love with a ( another ?)serial killer. She meets him in a graveyard and he guides her back to his place. They get down for a bit of love, after all he has been inside. Then he leads her down to the basement where there are a number of her former pals. Her lover tells her she is next for being nasty to him. He has not reckoned on her being a nutter and she does him in. So the three guys think they we are in for a release... They could not be more wrong. Analysis You can see that is another micro budget opus. There are quite a few long drawn out shots of the church, the fields, the trees and the gravestones. Originally I thought that these were just there to put the time up but now I think that they are there for another purpose. Eric is lulling you into a false sense of security before going for the throat. In the movie we have a reverse of Emily's role in Scrapbook. Emily is the the abuser turned abuser. The music is great and it really puts you in the scene with the cast. Emily gets more and more psycho as the movie goes on. Also she gets this really maniacal gaze in her eyes. The only real problem with this movie is the rather short running time of 70 odd minutes. Extras include a commentary, An amusing dumpster tale and a behind the scenes documentary.
