Coming Soon: Red Velvet

At first glance, Red Velvet looks to be a half horror-half comedy hybrid which might confuse audiences with the way it combines the two genres. Upon taking a further look at the film however, it seems like it could transcend it’s cheap production quality and possibly deliver a quality scare. After all, the first Saw movie was done on an extremely limited budget, and now its become a somewhat overdone horror saga.

Red Velvet is the story of a storyteller named Aaron (Henry Thomas) sitting down to write a horrifying masterpiece. He has just one problem. He keeps getting interrupted by his upstairs neighbor named Linda (Kelli Garner) knocking at his door. After another chance encounter with Linda, Aaron and Linda get to talking about their professions, and Linda starts begging Aaron to tell her a story. So Aaron begins to tell Linda the story he’s been trying to write down. They begin to form a bond vicariously through the story. Linda begins adding suggestions to make Aaron’s story better and soon after that (although unknown Linda), they begin planning the murders that happen in the story. They plan what the killer will look like, how he will kill his victims; every last detail.

What Linda doesn’t know is that Aaron is very troubled. They soon travel back to Aaron’s apartment and the lines between fact and fiction get blurred until there are no lines at all. Linda realizes she’s become one of the victims in Aaron’s story.
