Director Jeremy Campbell’s low budget horror short “Velvet Vengeance” tells the story of pure family revenge. The short follows Alice on a quest to prove once and for all that her brother’s death was the result of more than one killer. After a year of visions and dreams guided by her brother’s ghost she sets out to revisit the area where he died. Accompanied by her friends a new nightmare begins that pits her against a psycho sister act with a masked axe wielding sister as the co-antagonist.
This short film manages to convey in under 27 minutes what it takes most feature films 80 minutes to accomplish. The story sets up with the classic tragedy that sees Alice’s brother and friends killed on a trip she herself was grounded from attending. Then years later searches out answers to dreams she has over a mysterious killer in a white mask. There are moments of haunting ambience as Alice holds conversations with memories of her dead brother mixed with classic characters from the slasher genre that combine perfectly in this short but gruesomely sweet short film. The flick kept a coherent stream that normally would be hard to maintain in such a short film with so much substance. “Velvet Vengeance” managed that awesomely with only minor moments where more story would have been great. Still with such a short budget – only 500.00- Jeremy Campbell manages to tell a great story that delivers the nightmare and gore with quality results.
