Alexis Gonzalez Spookfield 2015 (SOV Movie) Crime is up and so is the dead ..........




Spookfield a film by Alexis Gonzalez released in via Gorgonzalez Productions 2015



Spookfield is collection of 4 stories intertwined into each other dealing with quite harsh and real subjects that will definitely touch any viewer ...


Tears of Trauma - Child abuse ....


The Town Ghoul - Voodooooooo


It isn't Easy - Escaping from a pimp that is .....


Wishful Thinking - this is intertwined with the above but I wont give anything away like neither ....


The movies themselves are actually really interesting and touch on a number of "touchy" subjects but in a means that isn't frowned upon and have some perfect elements of horror in them...





Each story runs for around 15 - 25 minutes each and they run perfectly if any longer they wouldn't be as effective as they should be to tell the story and touch on the subject at end, yes it is a Indie Horror movie and yes it is also Shot on Video (SOV) but this doesn't detract away the point that is being given, in some places you can tell it is a indie picture but of course nothing is perfect, the characters and some special FX have been done well ....


 


The music that accompanies the vignettes works extremely well also in a lot of places but again it pushes from being sometimes what feels like a educational video there's moments especially in Tears of Trauma that the hooded guy is correcting wrongs for abusing children like it shouldn't really happen that would be my only gripe on the movie itself..


Alexis clearly has some heart in making the movie as it works in places and then in some it could be a lot more effective but it deals with a lot of pressing subjects that a lot of people wouldn't touch I suppose so it has its ups and downs definitely ....





The story works well and how it ties itself up between the stories and cast is very good yes its a low budget Indie movie but for what it is , full of gore, interesting stories and other than that for a debut for a new director who has heart and a passion clearly for what he loves it works .....




6/10 Viewers for SOV/Gore and Trilogy/Vignettes of movies then its definitely your bag .....
