A full Free Movie of the Day is posted on the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel every day of the week – but on Fridays things get a little freakier and a little more fun. Get your weekend started the right way by indulging in Friday Fright Nights! Every Friday, we’ll be taking a look at another genre movie you can watch in its entirety, free of charge, either on the YouTube channel linked above or in the video embed here.
This week’s Friday Fright Night feature is writer/director Hunter Johnson’s Serena Waits – and I have to give you a warning about this one right up front. Some of you are going to need to avert your eyes during certain moments because there are a couple scenes that depict rape. The opening scene makes it look like Serena Waits is going to be a slasher movie, with a killer who wears a badass devil mask (and made the questionable decision to pair that with a yellow rain covering) taking down a lecherous dance teacher. But this isn’t the story of a devil mask-wearing slasher, it is actually a rape revenge film and there will be no more devil mask slashing.
It’s after the opening kill that we meet the Serena of the title, a young woman who gets drunk at a party before wandering into the lair of a monster. After something terrible happens to her, we spend a whole lot of time with the person responsible and his accomplices. You might start to feel like we’re spending too much time with these guys and the movie would have been better off being called Douchebags: The Movie. But hang in there, the violence and retribution is coming. And once it hits, you could regret having wished for it so hard.
Serena Waits has the following synopsis:
When an alcohol fueled hook up takes a violent and horrifying turn, three college athletes find themselves haunted by the very girl they left for dead.
The film stars Brialynn Massie, Colton Wheeler, David Marlowe, Charles Chudabala, Jennifer Clarke, Emily Dahm, Lara Jean, Gregory Blair, Tiffani Fest, Chris Kato, Alisha Mullally, Raymond Vinsik Williams, Eric Larsen, and Samantha Clay. Plus a whole bunch of extras as dancers and partiers, and a few more featured in pictures as missing girls. Among the missing girls pictures is a shot of Jennifer Nangle, who some horror fans may recognize as Malvolia: The Queen of Screams.
Hunter Johnson works as a writer, director, producer, and actor on the Malvolia series, and has directed a few other features: the horror films 2 Jennifer and Irrational Fear, plus the documentaries California Paranormal and LA’s Most Haunted. He has also contributed segments to the anthologies Grindsploitation 2: The Lost Reels, 10/31, 60 Seconds to Die, 60 Seconds 2 Die: 60 Seconds to Die 2, and Virus of the Dead.
Johnson is a genre regular, so check out Serena Waits – after all, it’s free! See if you like Johnson’s work and if you’ll want to seek out the other movies he has made. Then share your thoughts on the film by leaving a comment below or over on YouTube.
Personally, I’m left wanting to see more of that devil mask-wearing slasher. And by the way, the violence shown on the poster for Serena Waits does happen in the movie. As you prepare to watch it, get yourself ready to see some testicular destruction.
