    Patricio Valladares' INVOKING YELL is a frustrating movie. Three main elements make for a promising horror flick: black metal, found footage in the woods a la BLAIR WITCH and psychophony, the practice of recording sounds of spirits.

    So when I'm introduced to Invoking Yell, Chile's first all-female "depressive suicidal black metal" band, in the summer of 1997 when they trek into the woods to record their demo tape, hopefully featuring the spirits from the site of a bus accident, I perk up, expecting an opportunity for hollow-eyed spectral children or the shrieking of ghosts.

    Instead, I got an hour of annoying jokes, unwillingly learning what it feels like to watch grass grow. It's a short trapped in a feature's body. Without substantial character development nor tension to keep a bare bones plot afloat, it simply sinks.


    INVOKING YELL is available on VOD on September 20th. ---
