Throughout the month, I\u2019ll be featuring new horror every weekday. Sometimes that will be indie films, sometimes it\u2019ll be big-name stuff, shorts, or even TV shows. Scary, funny, schlocky, quiet, eerie \u2013 something for the well-rounded horror fan. Plus interviews with filmmakers and a chance to support projects still in the works. We kick off the Fest with <em>Vicious<\/em>, from writer\/director Oliver Park.  <\/p>\n<p>Park has been acting in short films like <em>Watch Over Me<\/em> and <em>Stop\/Eject<\/em> for the past few years. This is his first time writing and directing, and he\u2019s made a nicely creepy start. <em>Vicious<\/em> follows a familiar horror theme \u2013 you\u2019re alone in the house, but there\u2019s something with you. But there\u2019s more than one beat to it. The design is gorgeous. The odd angle of the shot looking up the stairs, the foreboding artwork on the wall, even the nods to found footage. It all works together quite well to create this off-kilter world. There are jump scares, but there are also some wonderful moments that take their time to unravel, like the \u201cpile of clothes\u201d scene. <\/p>\n<p>There is more coming from Park. He says on the film\u2019s Web site that Vicious is the first of three horror films he has planned, and he\u2019s getting started on the second one, Still.
