Directed and written by Booker T. Mattison (Twisted Marriage Therapist), this is the tale of the impossibly named Viola January (Christie Leverette). Just out of law school and in a new job, she’s also working a case pro bono to free Will (Derrick J. Smith), a man she believes was wrongly accused of kidnapping a young woman. But the truth is more complicated, and now, the real criminal is after her.
I should have gone to law school, I think, after seeing this. Viola has no idea who the killer is, but somehow gets in the middle of this mess, dragging the police into things and screaming so much — so many screams — until we have numerous people drawing guns, cops in shadowed rooms with guns out and somehow, Viola gets to follow the cops in there.
If I saw this as a kid, the end scene of the dude hiding in the house’s air ducts would have given me nightmares. Also, a shower scene without nudity is bad directing. Also also: That headshot at the end was great.
