RE-HOME - STARBURST Magazine

The Short Films of Izzy Lee #2 (2019) - CineDump

Short films are a strange art of their own--for them to "work," they have to be perfectly paced, give just enough exposition to drag us into their world but not so much that it bogs down our interest or drags the story, and most of all, it has to leave a taste in our mouths.

Izzy Lee's latest short film Re-Home had its showing at Cinepocalypse 2019, attached to Gigi Saul Guerrero's "Culture Shock" episode of Hulu's Into the Dark series.

Provocative, prolific horror filmmaker Izzy Lee imagines what might happen in the near future should a certain wall be built on the border between the United States and Mexico in her latest short shocker, Re-Home. Lee is no stranger to creating fright fare with a sociopolitical vibe, and this, her latest offering, continues that trend.

Fantasia 2019: Izzy Lee's Short Film, 'Re-Home,' Tears Down the Wall

Horror is the perfect vehicle for social commentary, Just look at George Romero's Dead films. At this point in our history/reality, America stands at a crossroads filled with desperation, fear, and frustration. We have an internal battle of compassion and hate that sometimes spills out on to the street and people get hurt.

Fantasia 2019: Top Five Anticipated Short Horror Films

Short films are life, especially those you can sneak in while waiting for a dental appointment. Mr. Greenworm, the middle-aged dude before you...yeah, he might be screaming from a tooth being pulled.
