What's not to like?
Three short films by three very talented young directors dramatizing three classic short stories by master storyteller F. Paul Wilson. The films are low-budget, independent productions, allowing each director to express his unique style.
In Foet, director Ian Fischer does an excellent job of showing how the main character is both repelled by and attracted to her new handbag made of foetal skin. I love the scenes where she's strolling down the sidewalk as if she's in a high fashion commercial.
Director Marc Buhmann lets you get to know his characters while slowly but relentlessly building the tension. It gave me the classic horror movie watching experience - wanting to shout at the actor, "No! Do NOT go alone!"
Director David Moore's Lipidleggin' is full of warmth and charm even as it delivers a rather serious message about freedom of choice. The acting in Lipidleggin' is better than a lot of what comes out of Hollywood these days.
All in...
Some cool short films!
Three short films based on short stories by F. Paul Wilson. Wilson let some film students adapt his work for the screen and gets to see his words on screen again. In "Foet" we see the moral dilemma a woman faces when she discovers that the beautiful new purse she covets is made from fetal tissue. In "Traps" we see a guy who is "sure" it's only rats running around in his attic - or maybe not. Lastly, in "Lipidleggin'" the setting is the near future where the government has outlawed butter. Yes, butter. This is the story of a guy who refuses to give in. Very entertaining, especially for Wilsonophiles! JUMP IN!! Wilson even makes a cameo in one of 'em, but I won't tell you which - you gotta watch and find out for yourself!!
F. Paul Wilson review
Love F. Paul Wilson, but this dvd is three or four shorts based on his stories. Interesting and creepy, but part of my collection.
