Patchwork (2015)
6/10
'Release the Owl-Cat!!!'
20 October 2020
Properly tongue-in-cheek and knows how to have fun 😁 Patchwork is written and directed by Tyler MacIntyre, along with writer Chris Lee Hill, and focuses on three women; Jennifer (Tory Stolper) Ellie (Tracey Fairaway) and Madeleine (Maria Blasucci). All three stop by at the same bar one night and get picked off one by one by a mad scientist who stitches them back together in a Frankenstein-esque form. After waking up, they first learn to get to know each other and work together to hunt down their killer and seek bloody revenge! It's a really cool concept and for the most part is done quite well. The horror-comedy has moments of perfection (the funniest sex scene I've seen in a long time and other scenes involving conversations about a chicken sandwich inbetween grisly acts are really good!) and it's acted pretty well with everyones passion leaping off the screen; in particular Stopler who has a lot of fun embodying the 'creature' that the ladies become. I also loved the performances from James Phelps as Garret, a young man working in medicine who meets our main character and straight away wants to help her, and Corey Sorenson as the surgeon who portrays the morbidly obsessed re-animator in hilariously fanboy fashion 😁 much like its Frankenstein theme, the film itself is a mishmash of ideas and does feel like it's going all over the place at times. Nevertheless, I found it pretty fun overall and whenever I think about it, the dark comedy brings a smile to my face
