Short Film Review: Can I Kill You (2018)
Rachel (Crisann Smith) is lookin’ forward to a lil’ girl time with her gal pal Tammy (Arlette Yousif), but R-dawgs other pal, Sandy (Tommie Vegas), has some other plans… Arriving on Rachel’s doorstep, bloodied and decidedly a bit “off”, Sandy spins a wild yarn about her eerie evening spent up to her armpits in the murder biz… biz that she willfully committed, and now she wants to turn her ghoulish gaze upon Rachel for further mayhem! Comprised of an all female cast, muted (almost ’70s style) color palette, and some great twists; Can I Kill You is a testament to what you can do in a single location, with limited budget and effects, as long as you are locked and loaded with a strong cast and script. Writer/director Nicholas Grant is not one to shy away from slasher flick tropes, or standing said tropes on their head, and this sinister short is all the better for it. Just when you
