Bloodstained Romance (2009)

- written April 2009

Summary: Holden’s a young college student who has never believed in love at first sight...until he sees Sadie, a sweet young coed who is everything he's ever wanted. But when Holden's anti-social behavior gets in the way of his attempts to talk to her, his life starts to unravel. Holden believes he loves her and doesn't want to let that love go. He would do anything to keep it and as the thin line between love and obsession begins to smudge and fade, so does his reasoning for right and wrong. Soon lies turn to murder launching Holden into a spiraling bloodbath of violence and desperation as he tries to hide the infatuation that feeds his madness. Through it all, he tries to cling to a trembling grip on reality, as love and pain coalesce into a shocking "climax."           Overall: What we have here is a disturbing little film that shows us just how twisted our fellow humans can be, especially when they let their emotions take control of them. We have a good film here with some decent acting performances. Once Holden snags Sadie it can slow a bit, but for the most part its an easy plot to follow and you pretty much know how its gonna go. To make this different than the usual “torture” films out there, we have some nice lighting, different camera angles. And of course we have a very nice performance by Christopher Bruchette. Some good stuff here!           Comparison: Scrapbook meets Nobody Loves Alice
