Review: "Capture Kill Release"

The found footage genre has been slowly going away as I haven’t seen many found footage films being released lately. When I came across “Capture Kill Release”, this looked different from most found footage films because of its subject matter.

The film is about a couple (Jennifer Fraser, Farhang Ghajar) who are out to film their murder of a stranger. They begin to plot and film every detail on how they are going to carry horrific plan. What they don’t know is the price they will pay emotionally, if they carry out their plans. The film has won many awards including best director at Shriekfest and Horrorquest Horror Film Festvials.

Sometimes there are films that are tough to watch due to the subject matter and violence. “Capture Kill Release is one of those films as the violence and subject matter was done in way that the violence is hard to watch but its also effective in getting a reaction.

Most of the credit to why this film was very good was from directors Nick McAnulty and Brain Allan Stewart. I liked how the two made sure the film was filmed from the character’s point of view and using the found footage route to make the story work. It made the violence in the film come off as shocking. I also kept getting an uneasy and frightening reaction as I watched this film. It made the horror aspects work so well on screen. The other thing that makes the direction great was the acting. Both of the directors made sure that the performances had a realistic tone to them. It gave me chills watching the main characters as they came off as terrifying. It also helps that both Jennifer Fraser and Farhang Ghajar turn in very good performances here as they made their characters very terrifying. This is one of those films where the performances need to be very good in order for the film to succeed like it did here.

The screenplay written by McAnulty was very good as this was frightening from start to finish. One of the things that makes the screenplay good was the fact that this story is told from the point of view of the main characters. It helped added to the shock value, as I was cringing at the violence that was taking place. The other thing that it does well is have a screenplay that focuses on the main characters. He makes sure that aspect is handled in a way that its important to the story. By doing that, McAnulty does a good job making sure the characters have certain traits that it makes you terrified seeing them on screen because these aren’t likeable characters as the action is horrific and your sick to your stomach.

This is a film not for everyone as it’s ultraviolent and has scenes that will make you turn away from the screen. But with its great direction and very good performances from Jennifer Fraser and Farhang Ghajar, “Capture Kill Release” will go down as one of the most shocking films you’ll see all year.

Review Rating: Five Stars.

Horror Actor Sean Whalen is Looking for Your Help in Funding His Upcoming Film "Crust"

The filmmakers of "Crust" recently send the horror chamber information for their Indiegogo campaign. The film is set to star Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs, Laid to Rest) Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) and Scout Taylor Compton (Rob Zombie's Halloween).

The filmmakers are looking to raise $60,000 by April 14th. This is a flexible campaign meaning the filmmakers will receive what they raised at the end of the campaign.

To contribute to this campaign, you can goto: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/crust-movie-fun-horror/x/10414072#/ .

For more information on this film, you can visit the film's official Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/CRUSTMOVIE/

Press Release:

Horror star Sean Whalen has written and will star in a new horror comedy called CRUST. Also starring horror favorites Felissa Rose and Scout Taylor-Compton, CRUST is a throwback creature feature in the vein of Little Shop of Horrors, Gremlins, and Willard.

The story revolves around Vegas Winters (Whalen), a burned out former child star who now works in a laundromat and collects all the forgotten and lost socks left behind in the dryers. At the height of his depressed rut, Vegas cries into the pile of socks and CRUST is born. The only problem is, CRUST gets angry. Very angry. Now CRUST is a bloodthirsty sock monster that will do anything to defend and protect his creator!

With many more cast members yet to be announced, CRUST will boast practical effects and a story that is crazy, scary, disgusting, heartfelt, and hilarious and the filmmakers are asking horror fans for their help! The following is a message from writer and star Sean Whalen telling where the story came from and why you should get involved with the project on Indiegogo:

“Recently I went through some large personal changes that shook me to the core. I got a divorce, moved, and my father passed within the same year. I went through a year of heavy anxiety and depression. I worked hard in therapy and came out the other end, but I realized something. We ALL suffer sometimes. ALL OF US. Then I sat down with a good friend, Jim Wald and wrote a story: A story of a lonely depressed man, Vegas Winters, who has a sock monster named CRUST which grew from his tears. It's a horror comedy. It's fun, it's different, and it has a heart. The heart is CRUST. Because I believe we would all love to have a little monster that would do anything for us when we are in our darkest times.

We want to tell this story. We want you all to see it. So we are trying to raise the money for physical production to start. The independent movie world has changed and most films that remain creatively unique are made outside of the studio system. So, I have surrounded myself with people who are passionate and uplifting to help me. We hope you can help, too. Because I believe, if you have experienced any tough times in your life, the power of movies to escape from that pain is transcendent. But, it is also nice to feel like you are not alone.”
