Review of Red Eye

Red Eye (2017)
8/10
Fun homage to 80's slasher flicks

Warning: Spoilers
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the premier of Tristan Clay's 'Red Eye', starring the lovely & talented Destinie Orndoff as Rykyr; the talented Hayden Wilberger - playing the character you love to hate - as Jake; the exceptional Scott King as Gage Barker, the intense "emo" kind of character, if you will; and last but certainly not least, the seasoned veteran actresses (who are also very lovely & talented) Heather Dorff (as Ryann) and Jessica Cameron (as Bea). Tristan Clay's deft and careful direction was extraordinary, no mean feat when you take into account the fact that he's only 21 (and began filming the movie when he was 19!!!!). Just like the IMDb plot indicates; the four friends are out in rural West Virginia, hoping to document the local legend 'Red Eye'. The movie is a sort-of "love letter" to the 80's slasher films, yet it still takes the time to develop the characters well and is pretty damned suspenseful. So, if you want to see a film that is somewhat of an homage to the tried & true slashers of old, Red Eye is your film. Loved it!!!!
