Somebody Help Me
Brendan Young and Darryl Jennings take a trip to Lake Arrowhead with a group of college friends to celebrate Young's girlfriend's birthday. One-by-one the co-eds begin disappearing until a mysterious young visitor arrives and helps them begin to unravel their tangled web of terror.
Why it matters
Somebody Help Me offers a low-budget slasher throwback that taps into the classic summer camp massacre vibe with a modern indie twist.
- Lean runtime and straightforward plotting make it a lean, if uneven, slice of backwoods terror.
- Practical gore effects show promise despite budget constraints—definitely a plus for fans of hands-on horror craft.
- The film’s modest ambitions and earnest performances place it squarely in the DIY horror tradition of the 2000s indie scene.
- Not a game-changer, but worth a look for viewers who appreciate stripped-down slasher setups and regional flavor.
