Aaron (Henry Thomas) is a writer who can’t get much written because of his noisy neighbors. When the girl next door, Linda (Kelli Garner) leaves to do her laundry, Aaron follows her to the laundry mat to strike up a conversation. Their respective jerky and harsh attitudes make them butt heads, but it also draws them together.

While they wait, Aaron creates a horror tale about Linda and her friends. Linda was supposed to be at a birthday party with her friends in a cabin in the woods, but her controlling boyfriend wouldn’t allow her to attend. With information and suggestions from Linda, Aaron builds a story about a killer, with bunny ears, a jumpsuit and a pink tool belt, that is brutally attacking her friends. But, is it really just a story?

Red Velvet takes horror film standard operating procedure and flips it on its head in a smart and fun way. This film, written by Joe Moe and Anthony Burns and directed by Bruce Dickson, is unlike any horror movie you’ve viewed before.

Red Velvet has plenty of gore and snappy one liners for any fan, and the way the plot unfolds is refreshing. If you feel that you’ve been seeing the same standard fare lately, rent Red Velvet from amazon.com and give it a try.
