Horror Short: Her Heart Still Beats (2011)

Directed by Christopher Di Nunzio
Staring Fiore Leo and Leighsa Burgin
Director of Photography James Sullivan

When a husband looks into his wife's eyes one day and to him they've suddenly changed he becomes paranoid with the sense that something isn't quite right with her while also teetering on whether he's sane or not. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's classic horror of madness "The Tall Tale Heart", Her Heart Still Beats is a suitable modern take that captures the maniacal nerve of the original character. The story traces along the edges of its original inspiration but spares a few details differently and ultimately pays off as a update. There's an askewed effect as the differences in the two materials can set you off, but no additional content really feels out of place in the story, just an extension of the directors vision. The character in Poe's work is indicated that his urge to kill the man with the vulture eye was a test of time where as Nunzio's character is seemingly fit with a burst of mania at no explanation. Because of this it plays out a little rough at first but smooths itself out later in the half hour run time and works as an anchor for the film's hitch. 

There's no real way around it as I have to be honest but I was not a fan of the acting. I felt the main character was forced and played way too over the top, though other reviews have praised his expressions and intensity. As where the rest of the cast was bland but not necessarily bad, however no one in particular stood out. It's a matter of perspective though and you may judge for yourself. As I praised the idea of the script there's faults in there too as the basic dialogue was a little weak. However the exception was Nunzio's decision to include the original haunting dialect of the character in Poe's story at the beginning and end of the film that attributes to the strength of the concept. It added an extra chill to the madness and is an ode of Poe's words. Cinematography is adaquete, there's a few nice shots and the overall set design mimics a modern married couples home. Her Heart Still Beats is a quality adaption on the Master of the Macabre's most famous work and is thoroughly recommened by me.

Her Heart Still Beats will be streaming this fall and will also be available on DVD. Keep updated at the film's production company's site http://www.creepykidproductions.com/index.php.

I have quite a bit of short films to review but I always care to mention that if your interested in me reviewing your film send it to me at bleedingdead22@yahoo.com.

TDHorror Retro Review

"The acting is better with the exception of Kevin Van Hentenryck who of cours is exactly the same as he is in the first. Irrelevant though as the real stars of the film are Grannie Ruth and Belial. Annie Ross as Grannie Ruth is fun, and she seemingly embraces the over top nature of the film's script and direction. Belial is actually more dire looking this time, as opposed to the deranged curiosity of the first, but is less interested in terrorizing his brothers personal life and more content within his new home among people like him"

You may read the rest here. I personally find it rather humorous that they had an original motion picture soundtrack, that is pretty awesome. Not just me but TD as well really appreciates comments, retweets, anything to help the site. 

Press Release: Horror Anthology Sinister Visions Official Trailer

Horror anthology SINISTER VISIONS will be released on DVD on August 13 by Chemical Burn Entertainment and is available for pre-order at all major retailers right now. The official trailer has however just been released and it gives a pretty good taste of what is to come. Please view and enjoy.

SINISTER VISIONS consists of five grueling horror stories to make your bones freeze.

Are you ready for a terror attack combining both succubi, women possessed by demons, serial killers in electric chairs, aggressive zombies, avengeful crazy women, men with very deep emotional scars and ofcourse a fair amount of amputation and gore? Add a bunch of dark humor to the mix and you have SINISTER VISIONS!

SUCCUBUS is about a beautiful young blonde, Emma, studying to become an archeologist. On an excavation trip to Syria she finds something in the sand that is about to change her life completely. She hurries home hoping to be able to escape it, but she is about to get wiser.

MY UNDEAD GIRLFRIEND is a twisted story with a lot of morbid, dark humor, telling the story of the day Keith woke up next to his girlfriend who had out of the blue turned into a flesh eating undead and tonight he is about to meet her parents for the first time! This day is going to be a bit out of the ordinary!

MOTHER KNOWS BEST is the story about Carl, a somewhat shy man preparing for a date with his childhood sweetheart, Rebecca. Carl’s mother has quite a few objections about the date and she is not too shy to express them, though.

In A WOMAN SCORNED we meet Gail tied to a bed by Holly. Gail have had the nerve to start a relationship with Richard, who unfortunately is Holly’s former husband – and Gail does not approve at all!

Finally, GENITAL GENOCIDE presents us to serial killer Charles Albert Harris who, sitting on death row waiting for the switch to be turned on, takes us through his crimes while the audience of the court room listens.
