"A regular suburban family man comes home from work on his birthday to find a deserted house and a videotape waiting to be played... " ~ Alexandra's Project (2003)
HQ Thoughts: "FYI - THIS IS A RARE NO GORE ALERT!!!
I really wanted to feature this film because it truly does offer another spectrum of what horror can be considered, depending on who you are dealing with. This film doesn't disappoint on a psych-level, pure mind-fuckery that is as original as it is disturbing.
Alexandra is a wife and mother in a typical family that seems happy on the outside but clearly this woman has her own set of issues that are on the verge of eruption in this film. While celebrating her husbands' birthday, she comes up with what she believes is the most thought-provoking gift a man could ever get.
She sets up a video for hubby, who comes home ready for a surprise party- only to come home to darkness, his TV and the VHS tape. Everything starts off interesting and gets real as things go along. Take note of the drastic change in his demeanor as yours tend to take turns with him.
Let your mind go and get into this film. I'm sure by the end you will be sitting with your mouth hanging open trying to figure out what you just witnessed. Again, no gore but one hell of a psychological horror that I think deserves to make horror film listings."
