"Strawberry Flavored Plastic" could've very easily been just a stereotypical horror/thriller mockumentary. It thankfully and rightfully still has moments that make your skin crawl, and that are unique within the horror genre, but it also goes beyond that. The main character helps the film transcend the genre. This film is a character study, and it works because the main character is absolutely fascinating. The performance at the center of the film is the type of performance you can only get when material and actor are a perfect match. The writing and the delivery are in perfect harmony here. Everybody is on the same page, and it's a hell of page.
