🎥🎞Movie Review🎞🎥 - WEB OF EVE [2017] - PG13 - Presented by SCS Films LLC and Lost Lions Productions. In an Independent Film Scene that is filled with a wild need for slasher film silliness, it was an absolute joy to stumble on this well produced gem, even though the producers consider their initial presentation a "first look" release. Directed by Shedrick Cortez Stokes, this indie film provides a rare look at how all indie films should be approached as a film project and produced using the best cameras, the right lighting, having a solid cast and providing the best sound.
Written in dazzling format by Jai Aitch and Tammy Diaz, this film flows flawlessly from one scene to another, telling a detailed story an presenting a solid plot to keep the viewer enticed on what is going to happen next. The superb cast of the film including Sasha Jackson, Eddie McClintock, Lance E. Nichols, and Anthony Ray Parker, all performed their roles brilliantly, basting the required dialog with enough zest to keep things looking real and dark, something that I haven't witnessed from a local indie film in many-many years. Police Detectives presented in this film perform their parts like actual law enforcement officers; kind of what you expect to see in police dramas or CSI series. A lot of preparation went into this production, there's no doubt about that.
The plot and story seem diabolical, but very logical in its order to tell its tale. You’re brought along to follow a police detective on the trail of something dark and big. This film is about evil and how it intertwines between each character while revealing a dark "vampire-like" atmosphere that is just waiting to tear things apart at a moments notice. There are some outstanding individual performances and Parker really sold it to me as a demon-like entity that spins a web to ensnare his next victim. Even though this film is a short, the potential seemed unlimited and it is quite a shame that the entire film/series project was never completed.
Kudos to the entire cast and crew. I do hope to see more projects and finished works from the production team and their crew in the near future. This is exactly the type of consistent indie film production the Houston Film Scene needs, if the fledgling indie film community continues to allegedly hone a film industry.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [4 of 5 Stars]
