Red Like Blood (2005)

A cameraman follows a female student reporter, who tries to re-create murder scenes with amateur actors and friends, just for proving she can do better than all the other students in her class. What starts like a fun thing, slowly turns into a depressing experience for the reporter. The re-enactments stop being just amateurish or boring and become real. The people involved forget that there is a camera in front of them and get deep into the scene. The fifth attempt of a story becomes 100 % real, when 2 girlfriends start fighting over a real-life boyfriend. The result is the only thing nobody saw coming... A real murder in front of the camera.... Shot in Black And White, this is the first movie by MacabroFilms and Philippos Halatsis. It took about 2 years to be completed. The first cut was a 90 minute incredibly realistic piece of film that no sane person can watch. Small details make everything enjoyable but difficult for the viewer, who is actually struggling to breathe while watching it. The second cut was far more easy for everyone to watch and although it runs at 73 min., it actually includes 4 extra scenes as an intro.
