Trunk terror
'The ultimate experience in blood curdling horror'! According to the end credits, at least. That's actually rather underselling this quirky little short from Darren Perry, very productive low budget filmmaker at a time when few people in Britain seemed interested in horror, late 80s/early 90s (how things change!). Sure, it could be taken as an effectively gory knife-murder item, and we've all seen a million of those - but the killer's mysterious background and motivation are pretty unique! Perhaps this fits into the subgenre of 'ecological horror', then - but again, not in a conventional way. It's a 'nature fights back' tale with a spin, in that nature has a little helper on this occasion. Notably skilled camerawork, good use of location, care and attention paid to the sound (frequently a pitfall at this level of moviemaking), and the originality of the storyline lifts it above much of the competition. If you look for imagination and weird, oddball concepts in your horror, and if you are a fan of this area of amateur/go-out-and-do-it production, this is well worth your attention.
