My Nemesis

Nicky Brick and Joseph Marlin are in the process of recording an audition tape for 'Wander in the Wilderness' and giving it a New Zealand spin with focus on our local floral fauna and how they are used culturaully for example as healing plants by Maori. However both leads dispute how they should shoot, who should do what, and the lead actress also happens to have a troubled past that links to the forest they are exploring. Very much a Blair Witch vibe but also one of the more realistic films so far in terms of actually believing someone could have stumbled upon the tape. The lead actress gave a believable performance. More in future, please.

A decent effort, but it lacked the punch needed to make it something that stood out in any particular way. The 2 leads gave a good performance - particularly the girl - and the reason the characters were filming was good thinking (they were filming an audition tape for "Wander In The Wilderness"). Until about a third or so of the way through I didn't know whether it was going to turn into a comedy or a horror, which I liked as it kept me on my toes. The lead girl's past came back to haunt her during the filming of the audition tape, which worked really well when it was kept subtle, but didn't seem to click so well when using a more brazen approach. A pretty standard ending. I enjoyed seeing glimpses of the mysterious past and trying to figure out the hows and whys of what happened, and I was still pondering as I left the theatre if I got the gist of it right (which is a good thing).
