Let Us In!

I became a fan of Anthony E. Moran (AKA The Motorcity Moster) by reading his articles in Midnight Magazine. He's my favorite writer in that zine, and his style has the Gonzo energy of Hunter Thompson. When I found out he was an Indie Filmmaker, I immediately went and bought his two films. They did not disappoint, made me admire the dude even more, to the point I'm now calling him Uncle Tony.

He's the type of time-traveling artist who makes you forget this terrible decade and reminds you of how great movies used to be.

Let Us In! Just starts as soon as you pop it into your player, advising you: This film should be played loud! That's when you know you're in for something good.

The plot builds the tension slowly, with interconnecting stories that play out through desolated roads and sidewalks lit only by streetlights.

You'll start to wonder how they were able to shoot those scenes on a small budget. The ghost town-like neighborhood where the action takes place heightens the creepy vibe, which goes along great with the blue and pink colors that illuminate the screen on some of the indoor scenes, making it all seem like it's coming from the pages of a Tales from The Crypt comic.

The actors are damn good, naturally reacting to what's happening around them, adding to the fast-paced horror that will remind you of some of the claustrophobic home invasion aspects of Night of the Living Dead. I highly recommend this film. Get it on VHS or DVD as it was meant to be seen.
