Movie Madness


SHRIEK OF THE HARPY by Sebastian Bendix is the story of cursed film being discovered by a film archivist. The story is broken into segments by Muriel's journal entries. The first half of the story seems largely unnecessary, and may lose some readers with the slow setup.

However, if readers stick with it, the action finally kicks in around the halfway mark. While Muriel's battle for survival is entertaining, her character doesn't have much depth, so I didn't really care what happened to her. The ambiguity surrounding the harpy film is a nice touch. The ending reminded me of the movie, In the Mouth of Madness.


As always,
