CHERISH 2016

Matt Freckingham directed Cherish, his second film, with Kerr Wykes. It is a claustrophobic descent into the world of torture porn, satanism, fetishes, and numerous other disgusting “genres”, if that’s what you want to call them. This short film comes in around twenty five minutes, an extremely long 25 minutes if you are not a fan of extreme cinema. I Liked the structure of the narrative and noticed a great improvement in the gore work from his last film. Like most films that mix gross porn with gore, this one also used a pretty cool soundtrack. Fans of the most brutal of a metal music will appreciate this dark decent into this depraved world. In the end, this film has shown me lots of improvement from the director’s first film. That’s good to see, even if some of the content is not what tends to be revisited by myself too often. So this review will come out like my reviews of Channel 309 and Beyond Madness, a memorable experience that may get the occasional re-watch. It is a film that you will need to see, however, if you are a fan of the two previously mentioned films.
