Slapface

For rural New York teenager Lucas (August Maturo), his sole means of coping with recent orphaning and relentless bullying at school came through violent rounds of playing "slapface" with big brother and reluctant guardian Tom (Mike Manning). His search for companionship brought him to seek out a monster legendarily stalking the local woods--and his uncanny success will have bloodcurdling consequences. Effective indie shocker co-stars Liba Barer, Mirabelle Lee, and Dan Hedaya. 85 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
