There's in media res... and then there's this terror vignette from the team of Dubock and Steinheimer. Check it out! It's part of our efforts here at Terror Titans to tide you over until the 31 Nights of Halloween are upon us again!
The Big Night is upon us. Children and creatures are prowling the streets, knocking on doors and looking for candy. We here at Terror Titans hope you've got a little more candy than you expect to give out... because we'd hate for your Halloween to turn out like Marrisa's did.
At One's Door (2020)
Starring: Marissa Steinheimer
Directors: Josh Dubeck and Marissa Steinheimer
Rating: Seven of Ten Stars
A young woman (Steinheimer) discovers that it can be scary to run out of candy for the trick-or-treaters.
I could nitpick a few things about this neat little All-Hallows Eve chiller, but that's all I could do, so I'm going to let them go in the spooky spirit of the night. Instead, I'll express my appreciation for the somewhat subtle ending that Dubeck & Steinheimer gave to this little terror treat. It's never nicely done; check it out... I'm sure you'll agree!
I decided about halfway through my screening of tonight's selection that it was going to make the cut for this year's 31 Nights of Halloween, but I was going to complain about something that didn't look and sound quite right. As the film ended, however, I decided that I should let that complaint go.
Check out this great little fright film and let me know in the comments what YOU think about it. (Also, what do you think I took issue with, but ultimately decided to set aside? And no--it's not the stock photo I recognized in the newspaper, just in case someone out there moves in the same circles as I do.)
