Burning Bright VG/E
One of the best natural horror movies that came out less than
ten years ago! Here there be (real)
tiger(s), no CGI (according to a featurette, the only CGI regrettably added was
saliva coming from the feline’s mouth).
Briana Evigan (whom I love and would definitely fuck if I was straight,
I like all of her movies even if they aren’t that great---Sorority Row, S. Darko---solely
on her presence) is stuck inside her boarded-up home during a hurricane with
her autistic little brother. A tiger is
let loose into the house, for reasons gradually explained, before the front
door is nailed shut in time for the storm.
Keeping the majority of the film in one location with two actors works really
well. This film is proof that sometimes
simplicity pays off. Tiger POV shots are
creepy and most of the film is suspenseful and realistically frightening. I felt as if I were in the house the whole
time. This really could happen, most
likely with deadlier results. I’ve seen
this about ten times and its never gotten old or less suspenseful. 7/28/2016
