FILM REVIEW: “COUCH POTATO”

Written By Alicia Farmer

This Micro-Horror is a fun throwback to the glory days of movie marathons on basic cable - with a little bit of horror and dissociative disorder thrown in. 

The atmosphere that director Gabriel Byron Warr creates is one of isolation and social awkwardness as our lead character Jesse (superbly played by Andrew Meyers) ignores his ringing phone and answering machine in order to enjoy his never ending stream of 80’s and 90’s horror films. 

However - the films (or is it the isolation?) begin to take their toll on Jesse’s psyche - and we get to witness the horrifying results of a life left unchecked.  With it’s engrossing soundtrack, vivid imagery and allusions to classic horror- this was a delightfully wicked 4 minutes of cinema.
