“Screaming into the Void” Festival wasn’t appealing enough?

165. Cicada – Tanya Pell

Ash and her boyfriend Richie are arguing on their way to a Nu Metal festival – which is near impossible not to do in a car with no AC while driving through Mississippi in the summer, regardless of your relationship. Ash and Richie should have already broken up, but they are trying to save their relationship with a road trip. They will not succeed.

Instead, in an impulsive move, Richie takes an exit with no labels and they end up in a small town (Revelation, MS) having a movie festival for their very own found footage film, Cicada. Ash hasn’t heard of it and with more fighting happening in a diner because she and Richie will never stop arguing ever, she runs into the woods and finds a giant cicada and re-runs into a good looking dude who seems a little sarcastic, hope for the future!

And then the weirdness piles up and the slaughter starts. This is the second entry in the Killer VHS series I’ve read and I’ve liked them both. They’re short, they’re fun, and they’re gory horror.

 

Mississippi pigs Thaddeus and Pammy think this couple should have rented a car with AC. That humidity’s a killer, give or take the giant cicadas.
