Director Raymond Wood’s Faceless After Dark, written by Todd Jacobs and Jenna Kanell (of Terrifier fame), follows Bowie (Kanell), a young actress coming off the success of playing the final girl in a killer clown horror film. As she flounders attempting to capitalize and extend her slight stardom, she starts a descent into madness that brings her face-to-face with some of her online fans. This clear attempt at placing another female-led revenge thriller in the pantheon of the growing genre has a lot to say about the state of our modern experience and the new way that celebrities build themselves up in the 21st century.

Perhaps the greatest achievement here is the wide array of colors that light up the screen. Much of the movie, particularly in its most harrowing moments, are overflowing with beautiful bright colors and neon lighting that so plainly elevate the tone and tension in the scene to greater heights. While not set entirely in one location, Faceless After Dark primarily takes place in one house. It’s such a delight to see how different the filmmakers make this house look just by changing the lighting and color schemes, a classic “How did they make this?” question that every viewer will be asking themselves.
