Jason Travis sent me his latest work, a spin on the Mike Myers character.
Story: What would happen if a top-secret research lab had cloned the infamous serial killer micheal myers from his DNA. But what if this top-secret research lab had made a mistake during the cloning process, and created the reject clone skinny myers.
Skinny myers (reject clone of micheal myers) escapes from J-Tex labs on the night before halloween. Skinny myers then goes on a killing spree on halloween day, which finally concludes at a bookstore. What will happen find out summer of 2003.
The film started off with Halloweens signature music and death of Reject Myers first victim Jason Travis in the first scene. The following day Fred finds Travis decapitated which ends up transitioning to the highlight of the film the very funny chase scene with Skinny Myers chasing Fred seemingly everywhere. Later Skinny Myers goes after the kiddies but only manage to suceed at only one of his tasks. Finally paving way for Skinny Myers last stand at the bookstore.
I really enjoyed watching this fan film. The film was fast paced and kept my attention throughout and try not to take the story too seriously. I hope to see future films from director Jason Travis.
Fan Film Rating of 8/10
Positives
Chase scene
Didnt take the movie too seriously
Corman style plot parody
Standout performances by Skinny Myers, Fred Ortiz, and Sarah Ortiz
Negatives
Transitions from scene to scene were a bit awkward but is forgivable being this is a low budget flick
Support independent filmmaking and for $5 you can own your very own Creation Before Halloween on vhs or vcd. jettravis.tripod.com/creationbeforehalloween/id2.html
