3 DEAD GIRLS - Review

From the dark and twisted mind of Christopher Alan Broadstone comes this anthology of his first three short films, each dealing with a unique take on death. Broadstone has a way of capturing your attention from the very first frame and keeping you enthralled until its unpredictable end. Every time you think you know where his films are going... you don't. In fact, this is the main reason they are so enjoyable. You never know what's going to come next and you can't wait to see it happen! The equally talented Tony Simmons stars in all three films, completely changing appearance and character in each one. Never heard of him? Don't worry, you will. He's that good.

These are films for the "thinking man." Every second is used to perfection and has something to do with the whole story. They become even more gratifying with multiple viewings. However, they are shorts, so I won't go into too much detail because I don't want to ruin your experience. SCREAM FOR ME, my personal favorite, is about a killer who may finally find answers from someone more sadistic than himself. Broadstone gets extra credit for his Bava-esque lighting that paints the tiny apartment in which the film takes place. In MY SKIN!, Death gets revenge on someone who cheated him.  And lastly, HUMAN NO MORE shows a private detective giving up on his own humanity.

As if the films weren't enough, the DVD comes with a bevy of extras including trailers, bloopers and a plethora of commentaries by the director, actors, producers, critics etc... (Listening to Eve Blaack from Hacker's Source talk about these films so passionately was a real treat.) This disc is recommended for those looking for something a little smarter and perfectly different. As Madman would put it, "Its like a pin-cushion on a criss-cross."
