“When The Screaming Starts (Grimmfest 9th Oct 2021).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA down-at-heel documentary film maker begins to follow a cinema usher (and former black metal guitarist) who has decided to become a serial killer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA terrifically entertaining black comedy utilising an energetic ensemble. Equally funny in highlighting the mundanities of everyday existence for the central anti hero and character clashes as the plot develops.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe synopsis makes it sound like Man Bites Dog or Behind The Mask but this flick is savvy in avoiding aping superficially similar productions and carving itu0026#39;s own path.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhatu0026#39;s particularly impressive is how the performances and thoughtful editing ensure the film maintains its energy through the final act as the story moves away from humour and into grim irony.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHighly recommended.”
