Shelly (Short, 2016)
Matt Boiselle
|
Starring Elizabeth Sandy, Alexis Kendra
Directed by Jon Knautz
Coming off of the ultra-disturbing Goddess of Love that teamed director Jon Knautz and knockout Alexis Kendra in 2015, the duo have reformed to deliver an insanely creepy short film titled Shelly – and it brings new meaning to the word “adoration.”
Elizabeth Sandy plays Diane, the owner of a beautiful, spacious apartment, and Kendra is Shelly, a cleaning woman who has suffered extensive burns covering the majority of her head and face. Their relationship is a quiet one at best, but one day Diane offers to give her employee a little touch-up in the makeup department, and it’s rather clear to see that that the obsession level is off the charts for our shy little maid – WOW.
With Kendra acting as a write/producer/actress and Knautz in charge of direction, there’s no way this short film couldn’t succeed, and it begs to be seen. Quiet and unassuming for the entire runtime, the overall mood is one of caution, and in the end we all get to see the very fragile state that one’s mind is in when dealing with infatuation. A must-watch on all counts.
