Review of FAMILIAR (2012)

I implore you to give Familiar a watch. Investors, take note: give these guys even one million, and I’m certain that the feature they put out will outshine most, if not all of what is currently stinking up the box office today.  Familiar was Written and Directed by Richard Powell, Produced by Zach Green for Fatal Pictures, Michael Jari Davidson was Co-Producer and Cinematographer, Special Makeup Effects by Ryan Louagie, Carlos Henriques, and Steven Dawley (aka The Butcher Shop).

Familiar Review: (short film) '2012'

Written and Directed by Richard Powell, Familiar (2012) is one of the few short films I’ve seen this year that matches any professional production on the market.

“Familiar” sets its ground in horror but also pays tribute to past films like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. What works most of all, is that we sense a dark future ahead without truly knowing what it will be. My first thoughts would assume some kind of “man goes berserk and kills the family”…but “Familiar” tackles a more interesting turn and leaves us on a much more satisfied note. 

A great piece that echoes brilliance. Read full review here.
