Among Friends (2013)

Well little Danielle Harris, once the little girl in Halloween 4 & 5 has grown up (as seen in her roles in Rob Zombie's two Halloween films, Hatchet 2 & 3 among other roles). Now, she has graced the director's chair. I know what you're thinking...uh oh! Not every actor who makes the move from in front of the camera to behind it has been successful but, I will say, this was a pretty good debut. Although it started off slow, this murder mystery/dinner party gone astray picks up at around the 30 minute mark...and that's when the fun truly begins. Only one kill really but tons of mutilation, a great concept which has you asking, how much do you really know your friends and, can you really trust them? Are they just a psycho who has finally snapped? Some the camera angles are uncomfortable, the tripped out scenes are funny (and odd) and it makes you wonder....just how far she'll go to prove the age old question of, who can you trust? Cameos by Kane Hodder (who's dancing alone is worth the price of the movie!) and Danielle Harris herself (with a direct shout out to her first movie role in which we all remember her from!) and you get a good debut from a talented actress. I hope she doesn't just hide behind the camera but, if she does though...I expect more good things in the future.
