NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR (Anthony Leonardi III) Rating: NN
If only the casting of veteran character actor Clancy Brown (Highlander, Starship Troopers) were a consistent mark of quality. Sadly, not even the scowling, 40-foot tall Brown can redeem this maiden voyage from legendary rock guitarist Slash’s Slasher Films imprint.
A pastor (James Tupper) and his family move to the backwater town of Stull, Kansas, where he will lead the church. Strange visions of black-eyed ghouls begin troubling them, and it’s all too obvious that the suspiciously helpful parishioners are less than well intentioned.
Nothing Left To Fear tries for something other than the shock-and-awe stuff of much contemporary horror of the direct-to-video variety. But it swaps out one set of clichés for another: the Wicker Man-ish small-town conspiracy, the haunted house, the church that is a house of the Devil, not of God.
None but indiscriminate fans of demonic thrillers (or Slash) need apply.
