Starring: May Kelly, Lila Lasso, Karl Hughes
Directed by: Pierre B
Sooner or later, everyone gets brought to a cabin in the woods…be it for recluse from the storm of humanity in these dark days, or to seek reprieve from a loss, or in the case of Director Pierre B’s latest, THREE BLIND MICE, the hope is to rehabilitate an addict from her self-damaging ways. Only problem with this plan is that a trio of exceedingly-aggressive, visually-impaired vermin are running rampant, dispatching unsuspecting bystanders one-by-one.
Starring May Kelly as Abi, a drug-addicted lass who is hopelessly at the mercy of her cravings, and at the urging of her family, she’s escorted to that magical domicile in the forest for some therapy. Flanked by her family, friends and counselor, the place is set for some massive-carnage brought on by these ferociously furry felons, and the only caveat here is the complete lack of plausible behavior – but hey, don’t let that thwart your good time! As the film rolls along, the audience will almost pray that Abi gets what’s coming to her, based on her demeanor alone towards all that are trying to assist her, but she proves to be quite the strong female lead, even in the face of addiction, which really is a testament to Kelly’s acting abilities – she’s the shining star in this presentation, without a doubt.
For the gorehounds, you’ll more than likely be satiated at the amount of viscous fluid being sprayed around the immediate area, but it’s almost painted into a corner with the rushed character development and fervent pacing of such. Overall, THREE BLIND MICE is one of those “no-thought, only subversion” kinds of films, and that’s certainly not a bad thing when that’s exactly what you want from a slasher film, but I just can’t help but feeling that this movie needed a BIT more along the lines of a explanation as to WHY?
