Superheidi

Directed and Written by Amanda Gusack
Featuring Melissa George, Oded Fehr, Alice Krige, Christian Campbell, Donald Adams, and Scott Heindl

In Memorium, Amanda Gusack’s previous horror film, was a well-shot and amazing venture into psychological horror. Her much bigger budgeted follow up, The Betrayed, is a thriller starring Melissa George which is unfortunately less touching and novel than In Memorium. Starting out with a Saw-like situation in which mom Jamie wakes up after a car accident to find herself locked in a dungeon-y basement room somewhere, Jamie is then forced by her captors to answer a series of questions about her husband to which she doesn’t know the answers, or her and her son Michael will be killed...

Kicks tells the story of Nicole and Jasmin, two girls from opposite sides of the tracks who bond over their favourite football (soccer) star, Lee, in Liverpool. Meeting for the first time outside the club training grounds to try and get a peek at the guy, they hit it off and go clubbing together, at which point their differences become more apparent. Nicole (or Col) is a shy and intelligent girl who comes from the kind of household where you'd see an asthma inhaler next to a ashtray full of old butts, while Jasmine's family are wealthy nouveau riche, promising her a boob-job for her sweet-sixteenth. Jasmine wants to marry rich and be a pro-party girl, while Col wants a, "Brain-job", rather than chest enhancement, and her love for Lee is more cerebral and obsessive, rather than a simple teenage crush on a possible WAG magnet...
