CONTACT - Short Horror Film Review

I just saw a great - interesting short horror film titled CONTACT by filmmaker Jeremiah Kipp.   Starring Zoe Daelvan Chlanda, Alan Rowe Kelly and Robb Leigh Davis... In the bible, there was once upon a time a man named Jesus Christ who once told a story about the Prodigal Son, who was once rebellious/sinful then came back feeling repentful, with humility to his good father.  His Father accepted his rebellious son back to his heart.  CONTACT storyline is sort of the female version of the Prodigal Son - The Prodigal Daughter.  The film takes us to a shady little journey of a dilapidated, chilling wicked world of drug usage and what drugs could do to your little brain.  

The film is beautifully shot - amazing black and white cinematography.  The overall film direction, again for a short film like this very well done, and with creative pace.  Jeremiah Kipp has a great eye behind the lens. The wonderful performances by the cast especially by Zoe Daelvan Chlanda just beyond... And the FX though not in the gory department but more in the grothesque department just oozing with greatness. Jeremiah Kipp delivers a remarkable little amazing little horror film package in just ten minutes.   I cant wait to see Jeremiah Kipp next film titled SWINE starring TOM SAVINI.

CONTACT  Film Reviews

“The structure and progression of images in CONTACT, the storytelling – all very strong!" - Larry Fessenden, director of THE LAST WINTER and HABIT

"It's a beautifully made film -- I loved the mouth tunnel! In fact, I think I did that drug once upon a time. Excellent. Keep makin' em!"  - Frank Henenlotter, director of BASKET CASE and BAD BIOLOGY

“CONTACT is an emotionally charged short film/poem…with its rumbling, ethereal sound design and constant barrage of visual metaphor, this trancelike film speaks in dream language. There are themes of trust and desire and family betrayal bubbling under the surface. CONTACT powerfully illuminates the dangers of hardcore drug abuse and reveals, almost subliminally, how once tainted, it’s nearly impossible to escape its savage clutches.”  – Dante Tomaselli, director of SATAN’S PLAYGROUND and HORROR

“While it has a running time of only 11 minutes, CONTACT feels much more substantial because of its message and depth…Absolutely intense! Amazing on all levels: sound design, camera, lighting, acting – this one is going to win a ton of awards.” – Marla Newborn, Fangoria

“Felt like a chapter out of my own dating history. I love the mouth-to-mouth connection and the face tear. Kipp, you are one sick fucker!” - Paul Solet, director of GRACE

“A jolting, intriguing work that is blessed with great style and original substance—one of the most satisfying shorts to come around in a long time. 5 stars (out of 5)” – Film Threat
