there be the sweet smell of success with the movie little erin merryweather . this movie open to rave review at the new york city horror film festival . all the star be align . there be good look young actor and a fresh story and a new character in horror and a memorable sound track . this be an ambitious film with a lot of pop culture and cult status seem assure . the movie create a new chapter in horror with it strong feminist theme . add to that an eerie premise which revolve around young men in jeopardy . one might see this directly from the movie i. e. a scene where the three young men be watch our villainess and the lady in red and pas by them on a college campus . the more brash teenage boys sort of jeer at her a if to say that she have no problem pick off boy that seem to be gruff and tough whereas one of the main character and peter and have the virginal strength to fight her off . it may be why peter and our villainess erin connect . this movie may also be about the strength of the repress . unlike a lot of other slasher and it be interest how these victim be portray . they be typical college kid . no one be a star vie for an academy award and the performance be all the more absorbing because of that . instead of a high body count the victim be people that the audience come to care about partly because the script be smartly set into the normsville of everyday life . when it seem more normal and accessible to the audience and they can relate to it . then all of a sudden you find that what be suppose to be normal college life can become very threatening and scary . what nice about this movie be it follow a basic rule of thumb it not what you see but what you do not see that be scary . it be the anticipation of know what go to happen but not know exactly where and when . it also build and build and a time go on the audience gradually get a closer look at the villainess in a frightening immobilize doll mask . the villainess be deftly play by vigdis anholt . anholt and morwick and callahan and johnson all bring in strong performance . morwick who play the role of peter ( also screenwriter and director ) do a wonderful job of portray a vulnerable character with a little boy quality that the audience come to care about . peter best friend teddy and sean be play by brandon johnson and marcus bonee who be unfortunately not so lucky and the audience wait in dread . this movie be cleverly balance with moment of terror and carefully choose moment of comic relief . the movie be special because it be take this genre and do something fresh with it . through stylize photography and artwork and a score that be close to a hauntingly sweet jack in the box and watch out . beyond the beautiful exterior of it all and evil lurks . this may very well become a classic . review by sandra wint and tribeca nyc .
