Siren

You know I am happy to see that Chiller is starting to gain ground. While it's older sibling station SyFy , still gets all of the good shows Chiller is beginning to become more than a Rerun network.

They have had quite a few "Original Films" in the past couple of years that have the quality to make up for them taking away our Fearnet but I know that was not their fault. On top of that Universal is still a high quality studio that still produces quality content for genre fans... That and they are buying all the rights to the good films. 

I am willing to assume that Universal Acquired the rights to the V/H/S franchise with the recent release of Siren which... I am honestly still trying to figure out where this flick lies, Prequel, or Spinoff but it definetly takes place before v/h/s.  As many of you are aware I am a great supporter of v/h/s as I am a fan of the Found Footage subgenre as well, 

Now for those of you that aren't aware the v/h/s franchise is a Found Footage series that began in 2012 featuring the works of various genre directors and producers ranging from veterans as well as up and comers. 

One of the most popular entries was the short film Amateur Night in which a group of young men decide to make their own hidden camera porn video and attract the attention of a mousy young woman named Lilly and after taking her back to their motel room find out that they bit off far more than they could chew. In Lilly;s case well...That was not a problem. 

Well Kiddies that brings us to Siren,   

This flick is what you get when you cross From Dusk Till Dawn with Hostel. Basically in the opening we see the result of a satanic conjuring gone wrong and when an "Expert" is brought in to investigate he finds a young Demon with a taste for Human Flesh...Well as you probably thought The Demon is none other than our old friend Lilly the Succubus from v/h/s. 

Well the flick soon skips ahead for a few years and we are introduced to a small group of friends looking for a good time at the Bachelor party where after locating a subpar strip club soon and deciding to invest Shrooms catch the attention of a local who leads them to another club where as you may have guessed one of the feature entertainers is Lilly among others and as you have probably guessed chaos ensues. 

Now first off there has been some changes to our girl, who is once again played by Hannah Fierman. In this flick she has a singing voice that is used to hypnotize her victims which was cleverly utilized in the flick. 

Another interesting fact about Siren is that, Yes Lilly is the "monster" in the flick but the "Villains of the Story" are in fact the humans that seek to exploit her abilities and use their influence to their advantage. 

The Flick also utilized POV shots to reference The Found Footage origins of this character and flick. There is also some great psychedelic camera work as well as sound to give us the victim's perspective in not just a POV camera style. 

Now I admit that this is the UnRated cut and not the version that I am sure will be airing on the Chiller Network. So don't be surprised if some of the things I describe in this review aren't in the flick. I however will always recommend the Blu-Ray/DVD Release of any flick.
