Starring Geza Benko, Nikolet Dekany, Barbi Horvath
Directed by Demeter Lorant
Brutal, unflinching in subject matter… and an all-around fun watch for fans of mindless violence, Demeter Lorant’s short film Lucky Girl tosses us directly into the lair of a man who “rescues” three girls after a horrific automobile accident and puts them through more trauma than they could have ever hoped to experience… get out your splash guards cause this one’s gonna get messy.
Geza Benko plays a no-name serial killer (or so we’d imagine) who is seen ransacking said accident and taking the three female victims in his vehicle back to his little “playhouse” if you will. What happens next to the very unlucky trio isn’t something that I’d be willing to jot down in detail form, especially with a short runtime of less than 15 minutes in length, but rest assured that if you were to play this one on your work computer, you’d be out of work fairly quickly.
The complete inanity of the premise is outweighed by the actions of the killer – no one witnessed the accident in a span of time where this killer could ravage the scene? I guess it’s just me over-internalizing the backbone of this quickie, but Lorant more than makes up for it with a blistering display of aggression against the female form. While this might not sit well with many an audience, just remember: “It’s only a movie.”
If you have the time (and with only a quarter of an hour to offer up, you should), I highly recommend checking this one out.
