Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl
Directed by A.D. Calvo
When Adele (Erin Wilhelmi) is sent to look after her aunt Dora, she hopes to bond with the kind lady who cared for her as a child. But Dora won’t leave her room and barely speaks. So when Adele meets the seductive Beth, her lonely life improves for the first time. After Beth pushes her to shirk her duties however, Adele faces a dangerous reckoning. Who is Beth and what does she want from Adele? From performances to visual style, A.D. Calvo’s queer supernatural chiller evokes the eerie atmosphere of 70s and 80s horror in much the same way Ti West did with THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL.
A young woman caring for her sick aunt is pushed into bad behavior by a seductive new friend.
Cast: Quinn Shephard, Susan Kellermann, Erin Wilhelmi

poor sound design
I am not sure what I watched. To me it would have made a decent drama film but not a horror flick. The directing was good and the cinematography was decent. However as a horror movie I was not sure why it was presented as such.
Slow, but I liked the eeriness and the main character was sort of creepy, actually, and I didn't know where the movie was going. So it kept me engaged. I liked the ending even though I don't quite get it.
Excellent homage to Bergman, Rollin, and Polanski. Love it!
Not bad. . . feels like a movie always on the edge of being good but never quite delivering.
