Faceless After Dark

Went into this not expecting a whole lot but mostly because I liked Jenna so much as Tara in Terrifier. Thought she was really great in Renfield as well. I decided not to read too much about this one because I do like to be surprised and MAN was I surprised. Jenna Kanell dominates this movie and takes it to places I don't think a lot of actresses can pull off these days. Her performance starts off light and fun but descends into some very dark territory that Jenna works to perfection. I was with her all the way as revels in choosing victims that I absolutely wanted to see her annihilate. It's a fun movie and Jenna is an absolute star!

Bowie Davidson (Jenna Kanell) has a cult following for her role in an indie horror film, "Killer Clown Killer." She has trouble capitalizing on her role as she gets short-changed on merchandise and convention appearances. Her girlfriend Jessica (Danielle Lyn) gets a major role and leaves town. She is later turned down for another role. She is told to make her own film. While at home feeling sorry for herself, a fan breaks in with a clown mask. She subdues him and then kills him on camera. In order to complete the film she entices others to her lair. The film uses a lot of flashing sequences, perhaps as a way to show Bowie's confused mind. The film started out good but went downhill when the killing started. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

A struggling actress who only had one hit, with an indie horror slasher involving a clown, gets countless trolls who troll her on the internet, and she gets turned down constantly by auditions. So one night she gets drunk and passes out only to wake up and find out that someone in a clown mask has broken in. Faceless After Dark oozes in its neon style, and is reminiscent of 80s horror. From its quick runtime, to its flashy charm, Faceless After Dark was really fascinating to me. It stars the upcoming Jenna Kanell, of Terrifier and Redfield fame. She does great in the role, and fades into the character seemingly. She brings a lot of personality and charm to the film, and was the perfect fit. The movie is also great at subverting your expectations. I wasn't expecting some of the routes this movie was going in and i always appreciate when a film does that to me. Where it fails in its cycle. What i mean by that is towards the middle of the movie you get this formula that basically loops for the rest of the movie. About three events happen and then a kill, and then that loops about 4 more times, and it definitely felt repetitive very quickly. I kinda wish this movie got more creative towards the climax, and maybe switched some things up. But overall i got a decent amount of enjoyment from this little indie horror flick. It's a fun version of a character study, that tells a good story, and is overall good for what it's trying to accomplish. You're definitely gonna get some sort of enjoyment out of this thing, and it's definitely not a movie to skip. Check it out and show it support, it's far from bad.

What a nice surprise this movie was. Now I am the number one fan of Jenna Kanell. Jenna Kanell co-wrote the screenplay of "Faceless After Dark " with Todd Jacobs, bringing her perspective to the story of Bowie, an actress on the rise. Bowie may face challenges, from autographing at conventions to navigating a closeted relationship and dealing with home invasions, but she's determined to carve her own path. And with carving her path, this is literally the case. The movie explores the realities of Hollywood, particularly for women, but with a twist! Well, with a couple of twists. When the pressure mounts, Bowie discovers a hidden strength and resourcefulness. Faceless After Dark is a story of resilience, finding your voice, and the power of creativity. Jenna Kanell delivers a captivating performance, making this a fun and empowering watch. Really a solid acting performance. Before I forget, she also co-produced the movie and obviously as a stuntwoman, is performing her own stunts. I am sold. Great movie, hence, the rating of 8/10. Well worth watching.

I haven't seen the Terrifier movies so I don't know much about Jenna Kanell. This movie popped up as something I might like and the cover and synopsis were intriguing and I saw it was a new release and figured what the hell. It's been awhile since I've done a review so why not get back at it with another indie horror movie fresh off the market? Faceless After Dark is a movie that lives in its meta world. I haven't seen Terrifier but I can assume that Jenna's decision to make her claim to fame a killer clown movie was motivated by that movie and so the disdain she feels towards everything seems all the more real for it. Everything feels real. The synopsis is a little misleading because it's only a small part of the movie that sets up the events for the real story to begin and I see why some would be bothered by that but once you look past it you get something even better that shouldn't be spoiled here. It's true that Bowie isn't a character that you like right away but everybody else seems worse and I think that might be the point and by the end of it you can see that this movie was a deeply personal one for its writer and star that proves as a catharsis. It isn't perfect but it has something important to say and I think the message was gotten across well, a message that should be heard. It's worth a watch and definitely not deserving of the hate it seems to be getting here. See for yourself.
