“Wicken” is a proof-of-concept horror film from HashmiHouse,
or Faisal Hashmi.
A woman (Noir Safieh) sits on her bed and chats with a
boyfriend (Stuart Richard) on her laptop with Zoom or Skype. She
notices curtains moving in his apartment as he sends her a demonic image as part
of a chain letter (usually a TOS violation).
She has to send it to someone else to get rid of the
same entity who now is stalking her. She sends it to a woman with a newborn.
The 7 minute film links to a “making-of” which is
longer than the film (14 minutes). The director says he plans a longer feature
based on the same idea. (This idea of a teaser
short was tried by Jorge Ameer for his “The House of Adam”. May 12, 2012).
This morning, “The Priceless Benefits of Not Belonging”
flashed into my YouTube queue. I didn’t
recall at first I had written a quirky review (very personalized) May 24,
2020. It still holds. It’s driving
polarization and the radical Left.
Also, don’t forget “The Wicker Man” (two films).
