Very well done,an involving,melancholic meditation on how dreadfully people can treat each other. The witch/ monster is very well used( and created). The acting spot on. This will not please everybody,look at the gormless scores from those who completely missed any nuance and feeling displayed in this film. If you fancy something with some feeling and soul give this movie a go. It is not an easy ride but a rewarding one.

SLAPFACE is a beautifully constructed and powerful fairy tale that explores the fears of loss and the lengths a young mind will go to protect itself. With wonderful young actors tackling very grow up emotions and a strong directorial vision, SLAPFACE is a unique and heartbreaking film.

The plot was going good until the police station catastrophe. It is easy to see that there was no way that boy could have done that kind of damage. The director/writer should have at least revealed the "why or who" .Like the movie "Hitcher". Where the main character portrays separately.

About once a year I see a great horror film. I watch all and the good ones are rare. This one was exceptional. Acting, direction and creativity. I would recommend.

I am rewatching Slapface with grief stricken eyes due to personal circumstances, it has made the film so much more potent. Slapface is a film about a monster in the woods, grief, remorse, belonging, bullying and emotional abuse. All I knew about the film when going in was that a boy creates a dangerous relationship with a monster in the woods, plus the riveting poster. Boy, was that an understatement. Go in not knowing much about the film and travel along the emotional journey it takes you. It is a roller coaster ride of emotions. Which by the way has one of the best end songs I have heard in a while, kudos to Curtis Braly for Turn Down The Voices, who also turns up as a nurse in the film. It is a masterpiece. Also a good written piece about bullying at the end, anti-bullying is one of the major messages the film is about. It is an emotive subject and this film will give you plenty to talk about afterwards. The film has a sterling cast but the star is certainly August Maturo as Lucas. For someone so young he gives such a compelling performance and certainly has what it takes to mesmerise you in the role. August is totally believable as the grief stricken Lucas who befriends a monster in the woods. Which of the characters is a real monster though? That is the question as you watch the characters unfold. The role of Tom was in more than capable hands with Mike Manning. He acted the role perfectly. In fact I think the casting was spot on. A shout out to Bianca and her twin sister Chiara D'Ambrosio as the bullying Donna and Rose, they came across as perfect villains, very well acted. Mirabelle Lee as Moriah was someone you might be shouting at during the film due to the character's choices. Mirabelle came across extremely well and was an asset to the production. Libe Barer as Anna was brilliant and give great support to the rest of the cast. Last but not least, Lukas Hassel as The Monster, and what a monster indeed. Totally terrifying makeup and effects. Superbly brought to life and I would so love to know more about where the rumours of the monster in the woods came from, I need a prequel. I absolutely adore Slapface and it has already become my favourite of 2022, it will take something special to overtake it for me. Sit down, watch the film and be prepared to be emotionally drained by the end. Thank you to Jeremiah Kipp, the cast and crew, for bringing this film to life.

Tired of being constantly bullied, a young boy living with his orphaned brother while trying to stay out of trouble ends up encountering a real-life witch in the area and ends up befriending it, forcing him to come to a deadly realization where his loyalties lie when it starts on a bloody rampage. On the whole, this was a highly enjoyable and chilling effort. One of the finer points to this one is the incredibly strong setup that serves as a reason to generate the central relationship at hand. While cliched, the setup involving the bullied youth who decides to seek solace in areas outside of the accepted norms in the community which causes everyone to worry about him while he ends up developing a macabre friendship with the creature is handled quite well. This goes into the reasons why he's being bullied and how that leads him into contact with the witch as well as the clues that he's been hiding the relationship with the creature from those around him that everyone suspects is the human girl that's hanging around him that gives this part of the film a lot to like. As well, once the witch becomes a prominent part of the film there's some fun to be had with the creatures' stalking and attacks. The first encounter inside the house where it appears in the mirror behind him while attempting to prank the others outside is a genuinely unnerving moment, much like the later ambush on the girlfriend at the house. There's a genuine tension to the way it constantly alerts her to its presence without saying anything and the final payoff is quite satisfying being one of the only jump-scares in the film. Other encounters, including the ambush on the girls in the woods or the hospital appearance, offer up some dark and thrilling action that's a nice setup for the finale where the final confrontation is as emotionally disturbing as it is brutal. These manage to provide this with some enjoyable aspects. That said, there are some minor drawbacks here that hold this down. Among the main flaws here is the fact that the central relationships that it spends so much time honing aren't always the most interesting or enjoyable to see play out. The main relationship we're supposed to be following in the brother meeting up with the new girl from the bar is inherently uninteresting and doesn't make either of them out to be interesting with the constant abuse and fighting that makes them out to be far more dysfunctional than warranted. Likewise, the central triangle with the kids is equally uninteresting, managing to come across with far more curiosity than anything regarding how they're even friends in the first place and making for a highly aggravating experience here. The other issue at play, which is somewhat informed by the previous drawback, is that it takes way too long for the witch to actually do something interesting in here. It spends way too much time here standing around watching him interact with his brother, the crummy lifestyle they lead, or the interactions with the bullies tormenting him before it springs into action to attack those around him. As well, the constant bickering and fighting between the brother and his girlfriend in their relationship just amounts to even more time here that ends up pushing back the rampage until so late in the film that it's quite hard to really care what happens since we're spending all this time on factors that some of the impact is lost. These are really all that hold this one down though. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, intense themes of bullying, child abuse and violence.against-animals.

I rarely leave a review I'll just give in to the simpler stars rating, but this one I couldn't help it considering the mediocre reviews. Tune out all the critics and watch this little gem with it's flaws included. This was very interesting and worth the watch. The lead actor was good, this kid has a future. Many compelling and clever elements given the fact that it has budgetary constraints. It's called independent film. We've lost the ability to discern low budget and independent film. Good camera angles and use of lighting or lack there of. No CGI or over the top gore. Yes it has a message as all films do now, but you aren't aware until the credits roll. Not heavy handed forced agenda at all. This was good!

After the death of their mother, Lucas (August Maturo, The Nun and the son of Cory and Topanga on Girl Meets World) and Tom (Mike Manning) are each dealing in their own ways. Lucas begins to hide in the woods with a group of tough girls but mostly isolating himself, while Tom keeps getting in enough trouble that Sheriff Thurston (Dan Heyada, one of the best character actors ever) has to keep bailing him out. The brothers also have a very abusive game that they play called slapface, which is basically continually slapping one another back and forth, the pain being used to get Tom past the pain he feels for having to discipline his brother when he can't control himself. Lucas does meet someone else that means something to him. And no, it's not Moriah (Mirabelle Lee), one of the bullying young women -- Donna and Rose are the others, twins played by Bianca and Chiara D'Ambrosio that are the kind of cruel women that terrified me as a child and fascinate me as an adult -- that he has a crush on. There's a witch in the woods named Virago (Lukas Hassel, Vandyke from Blacklist, wearing some incredible makeup) and she means no harm to him. But to anyone that hurts him? As for Tom, he's also met a girl named Anna (Lieb Barer) who is falling for him but concerned with just how much he abuses his brother. Originally a short film, Slapface doesn't battle the issues that often come with go with an expanded running time. It's tense, it's horrific and it doesn't even need the supernatural element to make that happen. Director and writer Jeremiah Kipp has really put something astounding together with this movie, a film that's frightening when it deals with humans and then goes even further by giving Lucas a force that only he can see, one that only wants his happiness, which comes at the cost of anyone who does him a slight.
