2/7 915p A Horrible Way To Die
A Horrible Way To Die
Adam Wingard, 2010, 85 min, US
2/5 1130p, 2/7 915p
Director Adam Wingard, last seen gracing SF Indie screens with his visually mesmerizing Pop Skull in 2008, is back with a much sharper, and decidedly darker, take on the weakness of the human psyche. A Horrible Way to Die showcases a young director at the top of his game helped along by an incisive script and a solid cast of familiar indie actors.
Garrett Turrell is an infamous serial murderer, just escaped from prison. Like an alcoholic called to the bottle, Garrett cannot resist the compulsion to kill and uses his newfound freedom to blaze a path toward his penpal admirers on the outside, leaving a grisly trail of corpses in his wake.
Speaking of alcoholics, we meet Sarah in the midst of an AA meeting. Sarah is a new in town, and hoping to forget her troubled past. Seeking to meet new people, she takes a chance with Kevin, a fellow former addict. Awkwardly charming, Sarah and Kevin seem to fumble toward an unlikely romance while Sarah's sketchy past threatens to derail all she's hoped to escape.
It may not take much guessing to deduce that the skeletons in Sarah's closet involve Garrett, but when these parallel story lines intersect, they do so in the most unexpected of ways. The stellar cast infuse their characters with an all-too-plausible humanism for maximum emotional impact when everything goes sideways. Contrary to the gore-fest you may expect from the film's title, the violence sneaks up on you in short bursts, and is over before you even know it. As gruesome as the violence is at times, Wingard relies more on character development and unfolding the action at a very deliberate pace rather than relying on simple shock tactics. Indeed, Wingard's keen eye for detail and visual flair elevate A Horrible Way to Die from an above-average serial killer drama to high art. If you weren't already impressed with Wingard, you will be.-Kevin Monahan
