The Sunshine State is home to a bevy of filmmaking talent. Most of it goes away to Los Angeles, New York, and Georgia where tax incentives make those places meccas for producing movies. However, some brave directors, DPs, sound engineers, boom operators, and writers say “F it!” The Popcorn Frights Film Festival is a celebration of horror filmmaking from around the world. Being a Florida-born event, this year Popcorn Frights added Homegrown, a collection of horror shorts created by the talented and brave souls who stayed in the swamp to make movies.
Homegrown premiered on Saturday with a heavy-hitting
list of exciting short horror films.
1. Buzzcut
A no-nonsense lesbian needs a haircut to get laid. Standing in her way is a pesky apocalypse where people spontaneous erupt into blood. A metal soundtrack and editing inspired by Edgar Wright films, plus a ferocious performance by lead Kelly Jane make Buzzcut a fun, wild ride that leaves viewers wanting more from the woman warrior with unstoppable focus.
