In addition the audience is provided with the critical background information about Brad (Jack Turner). It\u2019s obvious he had a rough childhood that is still affecting him today. Turner does an excellent job playing the role of a washed up musician trying to get back on his feet and live a normal life. Then there\u2019s Brad\u2019s girlfriend Carly (Sarah Schreiber) who is a nurse in a mental hospital and caring for Mia (Maria Olsen). Sarah Schreiber has the looks and talent and was amazing playing the compassionate, smart, and beautiful Carly. Maria Olsen stars in endless films, many being horror and she is a perfect fit for the role of Mia. Brad, Grant (Reign Morton), and Tamryn (Cara Santana) are close friends in the film and work together under pressure and pain, trying to solve the mystery while trying to escape danger.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/?attachment_id=16456\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16456\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16456\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aaR-Maria-Olsen-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"aaR Maria Olsen\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aaR-Maria-Olsen-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aaR-Maria-Olsen-785x471.jpg 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn general Brad\u2019s backstory and music career makes the film intriguing especially because he is complimented by Carly, who is so likeable that you hope everything turns out alright for them. What makes the film gripping is that you know the lunatic\/killer is Mia and that there\u2019s a connection, but you don\u2019t know why and want answers. Even some of the unnerving graphic scenes have a connection to the past, which is revealed when the time is right.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/?attachment_id=16460\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16460\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16460\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/sarah-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"sarah\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/sarah-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/sarah-785x589.jpg 785w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/sarah.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn some chilling scenes the tension is built up by quick cuts between the weapon, victim, perpetrator, and witness up to the shock moment. The film captures the actors and actresses reactions at the right moment and the entire cast did an exceptional job expressing their emotions, especially in frightening scenes. It made the audience feel involved with what the characters were going through. Most of the settings are dark and shadows create a chilling situation, one being a casted shadow of the killer and barbaric weapon on the stair wall in the distance. Add the suspenseful music and the scenes make for an intensified horror moment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/?attachment_id=16455\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16455\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16455\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aaR-Christopher-Wolfe-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"aaR Christopher Wolfe\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aaR-Christopher-Wolfe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/aaR-Christopher-Wolfe-785x589.jpg 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs the climax approaches, things begin to unravel and the film reveals details which include involvement from characters you didn\u2019t expect. Once all the details are exposed, many things tie together justifying actions and events. The final scene may be a surprise to the audience, however considering the experiences throughout, most will understand why.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reunion<\/em> is an astounding psychological thriller filled with horror and mystery that gets into the lives and minds of the characters.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and a little teaser, check out the Reunion Facebook page and IMDB page.<br \/>\nFacebook page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Reunionthemovie1\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Reunionthemovie1<\/a><br \/>\nIMDB page: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2748630\/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_15\">http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2748630\/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_15<\/a><br \/>\n[youtube_sc url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1J1XPXHuiH8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you have some thoughts to share about this article or you&#8217;d like to discuss B movies with other B movie fans and filmmakers please visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/bmovienation\/\" target=\"_blank\">B Movie Nation Facebook group<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unstable mental patient goes on an overnight rampage to terrorize an ex-rock star and his friends, only to discover she is linked to him in mysterious ways.
