New review from 13Horror.com!
Hi Anthony,
Thanks again for submitting Tip to the 13Horror.com Film Contest.
One thing I enjoyed about this film was how effectively it makes so many of the customers obnoxious enough that you can sit back and enjoy the horror set pieces when they start getting picked off one by one. I'm sure they're lovely people in real life, but the film knows exactly what buttons to push! There's a mischievous streak running through the whole thing, and it reminded me of all those nights working customer-facing jobs where you have to smile through your teeth while dealing with difficult people. It also looks like everyone involved had a blast making it. The effects are a lot of fun and fit the tone perfectly.
Beyond the bloodshed, I appreciated how the film captures the frustrations and small indignities of working in that environment. Anyone who's spent time in restaurants or retail will recognize some of those feelings immediately. That's what gives the madness an extra kick.
We will officially announce the winners on the 13Horror.com website on June 29. Selected winners and finalists will be presented to Black Mandala, an international sales and production company working with distributors, festivals and buyers worldwide. This creates a potential route beyond the festival circuit, with opportunities that include international sales, broader exposure, and inclusion in anthology productions.
Thanks again for submitting your film and good luck!
Best regards,
Andrew
