FOUND
Marty, a nerdish 12 year-old who loves nothing more than watching horror movies and making up/designing a graphic novel with his best friend, is the ideal fifth grader. He gets good grades, listens to his teachers, and doesn’t start trouble in class. But darkness is beginning to fall over Marty’s life when he finds a severed head in his big brother Steve’s closet. And then another one and yet another one. Marty is of course terrified of what Steve might do if he finds out that his secret isn’t so private anymore. It doesn’t help matters that Marty is also being picked on at both school and church, while his neglectful parents constantly lecture both brothers. It is only a matter of time before things get out of hand, spiraling into a chain of events from which lives will be both lost and shattered for the few who do survive. Found is undoubtedly one of the hidden gems of the indie film industry ! Clever, shocking and disturbing, Scott Schirmer’s film is a love letter to the horror genre. Unanimously acclaimed in the US, Found goes beyond the roots of graphic violence and steps in the footprints of Jack Ketchum !
