This remarkable 1982 film, directed by David Markey at the age of sixteen, blends teenage creativity with suburban horror. Initially intended as a playful homage to 1970s horror films like "The Omen" and "Carrie," the project evolved into a genuine cinematic experience inspired by Markey's Santa Monica surroundings. Shot on Super-8mm, each scene was carefully created using savings and a passion for filmmaking. The film demonstrates not only a young director’s ability to capture the essence of his influences but also his original approach to crafting a new kind of horror within a suburban setting. Markey's passion project highlights the power of dedication and imagination, offering viewers a compelling look at the early work of a director who would later significantly influence independent cinema.
