Director Falvo stages her short with a black and white and silent film format, allowing for subtitles to replace dialogue. Thankfully the small cosmetic elements inject this almost antique aesthetic that makes \u201c*666\u201d almost feel like a movie we weren\u2019t meant to see. Paired with some pretty sharp and gruesome special effects, I liked what director Falvo co-writer Lar Violet had to offer audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Although she doesn\u2019t actually let audiences in on what the wrong number on their phone dialed in to, we know well enough that they probably weren\u2019t meant to talk to this particular entity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Slamdance Film Festival runs Digitally and In-Person from January 19th to January 28th.
