Redemption (2012)
Atmospheric indie thriller!
20 April 2012
A solid short suspense/thriller shot on a shoestring budget, but with surprisingly good production values. Rhonda LaRue steals the show as the title character -- this bad-ass beauty is one to watch! Writer/director Joe Monks is blind, yet he has an amazing sense of photo composition and framing. This gritty New York serial killer story looks a bit like William Lustig's "Maniac," with shades of Frank Henenlotter's "Basket Case." "Redemption" doesn't have the buckets-o-blood of those two films, but it certainly packs a ton of visceral thrills into its 30-minute running time. Kudos to Monks and crew for creating a genuinely creepy cinematic vehicle, and to LaRue for taking "Redemption" to the next level with her full-throttle performance.
