To Jennifer

Everything is not ALWAYS WHAT IT SEEMS
Indie horror movies are usually very predictable. This coming from someone who reviews them for a living. And has seen many. And by the time the film has gotten 15 or 20 minutes into the thick of things, you already have an idea about how it'll wind up concluding. TO JENNIFER though takes you on a quirkily-somewhat-predictable ride for the early portions of its program. But in reality, it's predictable to the viewer only as an illusion. Because what's yet to come is very UNPREDICTABLE! In the most earth-shattering way possible! By the time the film reaches its third act, and eventual conclusion, you're left asking yourself...WOW, how'd I NOT see THAT coming?! Horrormoviesandstuff LIKED THIS ONE!

Cool fun film
A found footage road trip with plenty of arguing, hookers, drugs, a tranny, comedy, panic attack, and watching a crazed ex-boyfriend wanting revenge on his cheating girlfriend...so he thinks. Some things unravel at the end, but not in an overzealous way. After a moment you'll be thinking, so wait he, so how did, oh man! This is why watching TO JENNIFER a couple times is worth it. Plus, producer, writer, director, and editor James Cullen Bressack entertains us playing the role of Steven. Friends on a road trip all have their own personalities that can and will clash, but Steven always somehow made a bad situation comical with his sarcasm.

You'll probably be able to relate some of your friends with the characters in the film. I felt like I was watching one of my friend's video from college. Except instead of IPhones, we had a video cameras that would rest on your shoulder.

TO JENNIFER was actually believable, the mishaps, insulting and mocking each other, having...

A love and revenge story with a twist.
To Jennifer is the story of Joey, a young man who is convinced his girlfriend, the titular Jennifer, is cheating on him. He enlists the aid of his cousin, Steven and his friend Martin, and together they plan a road trip, to catch Jennifer in the act. They are also filming the entire thing with Steven's iPhone, and plan to show the film to Jennifer, so she can see the heartache she's put Joey through.

Strictly speaking, I suppose To Jennifer is a "found footage" style film, which as we all know are a dime a dozen these days. To do something original, or even different these days is damn near impossible. It's evident from the very beginning that a lot of thought went into the filming, which makes the fact that it was done entirely on an iPhone even more impressive. The plot isn't needlessly convoluted or over thought, but at the same time isn't non-existent. There's even a twist or two, and character development! Character development in a "found footage" movie, that was shot...
