Charles Scavolini murdered his wife and was sentenced to an asylum. This video is about the last two days of his life after he escaped. Well, that’s what the scrawl says but in reality it’s mostly about college students partying, and once in awhile someone dies. They could have just had police bulletins and news reports explaining that a murderer escaped from the asylum rather than have the opening parts. It wouldn’t make a difference, other than they needed the opening scenes to pad the film.
A kid who sleeps in a polo shirt has a party at his house with three other guys. The expected girls never show up. It’s a really sad party since two of the four don’t like each other and one of them has a personality that consists of wearing a sombrero. The next night there is a less sad party at a different house and both genders attend.
This was filmed in the UK and we get to see two different people make tea in real time. The film is mostly padding and often it’s too dark to see what’s going on. I’m not even sure if this thing had a script.
It truly looks like a bunch of people said, hey we have a VHS camera, let’s make a movie. The best thing about it is the cover artwork. Definitely shot on video, we’ve got the bad color and occasional VHS artifacts like the frame rolling and fuzziness that old VHS tapes tend to have, especially if they’ve been copied more than once. If you’re a fan of SOV, then you may want to take a chance on this. I’m partly charmed and partly bored by this one.
