Beyond that there isn\u2019t a lot of substance behind the plot for \u201cRoad Trash\u201d and it\u2019s more of a word of caution about good intentions and how they can lead to our demise, but it\u2019s all so abrupt and quickly paced, that the main character\u2019s fate feels kind of mean spirited.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Pascetta plays Alice a young girl who roams around her town scooping up road kill and dead animals and allowing them proper burials. It\u2019s more than a hobby and actually a passion for her. But one day when she decides to bury a peculiar skeleton she finds on the side of the road, the skeleton turns out to belong to a werewolf. When the werewolf is resurrected, it begins to stalk her around the town.<\/p>\n<p>For all intents and purposes Natasha Pascetta\u2019s \u201cRoad Trash\u201d is beautifully directed, with Paschetta deriving a great mood and visual aesthetic most of the time. I also enjoyed the wry tongue in cheek narration from Heather Langenkamp when all was said and done. I can\u2019t say I loved \u201cRoad Trash\u201d thanks to the big twist in the climax which felt completely out of left field to me. But I would encourage open minded viewers to check it out mainly for its whimsical twisted mood, and some good old fashioned creature effects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Final Girls Berlin Film Festival runs every year from January 31<sup>st<\/sup> to February 3<sup>rd<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMidnight Movies\u201d Shorts Block Director Natasha Pascetta\u2019s short horror film has a lot going for it, particularly the narration by the one and only Heather Langenkamp.
