I Don't Get it


THE ROOST-2005-In a black and white intro Tom Noonan is a horror host who introduces the story and even interrupts it later on. Three guys and a girl on their way to a wedding have a car accident. They wonder around a bit then come to a house where earlier an old couple were killed. A cop picks them up but he's killed and one guy disappears. The remaining three are terrorized by vampire bats and the reanimated corpses of the cop and the old couple. It's seems to be some kind of weird found footage horror movie that really makes no sense. Larry Fessenden was the executive producer and appears as a tow trucker driver. Director Ti West later made CABIN FEVER 2 and a segment of V/H/S.
 
Thanks for reading!

Ti West also made the superb House of the Devil (2009, with Greta Gerwig and Mary Woronov!!!), the equally superb slow-burn thriller The Innkeepers (2011), with Sara Paxton and Kelly McGillis)and, most recently, The Sacrament (2013), based on the Jonestown mass-suicide. The Roost was a little sophomoric, but you certainly should check out HOTD.
