To Jennifer
review by Mike Haberfelner

Spencer (Hunter Johnson) has become so obsessed with the shot-on-iPhone
horror sensation To Jennifer
that he persuades his best friend Mack (David Coupe) to produce a sequel
to the movie he's going to direct. He claims the director of the original
movie, James Cullen Bressack, will do the most heavy lifting production on
this sequel, so all bases are covered ... except for James never returns
Spencer's calls or texts and doesn't show up when they're auditioning -
even if he allegedly left very specific conditions for the casting, like
the actress's real name has to be Jennifer. Spencer proves to be an utter
dick during auditions, which enrages Mack more than a bit, but somehow
they find "their" Jennifer (Lara Jean Mummert), a woman they're
both taken by ... and Spencer isn't at all happy that she's more into Mack
than himself. He likes it even less that she, being friends with one of
James's crew (Jody Barton) arranges for them to finally meet up with James
Cullen Bressack at a party - where things come to a head as Mack only now
finds out that James has never agreed for Spencer to make the sequel, let
alone to produce it, and Spencers constand messaging has obviously angered
him more than a bit. Ultimately, he has Spencer and Mack removed from the
party rather forcefully. But Spencer has come way too far to not go
through with his plans - but these plans don't involve making a movie
nearly as much as they involve murder ... Adult star Veronica Ricci and
horror regulars Felissa Rose and Erin Marie Hogan are among the Jennifers
Spencer and Mack audition. Now admittedly, the iPhone-shot
horror road movie To Jennifer
doesn't lend itself particularly well to a sequel as it didn't leave any
doors open for further story development, and the plot as such is too
straight-forward to work a second time even half as well. So one has to
give Hunter Johnson props for even trying ... and the result is not only
quite original in its approach, it's also highly disturbing, and
disturbing in the best possible way. And while the film is still mostly
shot via iPhone (presumably at least), it does move away from the pure
found footage approach of the earlier movie to go for something more
cinematic. Quite a cool movie, actually.
