Le opere di Howard Phillips Lovecraft sono state e continuano a essere fonte di ispirazione per il cinema. All'opera lovecraftiana attinge anche l'attrice, sceneggiatrice e regista Izzy Lee (here is the link to our interview) for his short film Innsmouth (2015), a film that pays homage to The Mask of Innsmouth of 1931 (The Shadow over Innsmouth), romanzo dell'immenso scrittore inglese e da cui è stato tratto Dagon - La mutazione del male By Stuart Gordon.
Innsmouth is a short film lasting about 11 minutes, written by Izzy lee herself (A Favour and Postpartum) together with Francesco Massaccesi and starring the stunning Tristan Risk (American Mary, Fetish Factory, Save Yourself, Mania), performer e attrice abbagliante considerata un'icona horror.
The story opens on a murder case that Detective Olmstead (Diana Porter) and a policewoman (Izzy Lee) are working on. At the victim's home, Olmstead will find a photo depicting a mysterious woman and bearing the name of the town where it was taken: Innsmouth. The detective will travel to the location to investigate.
Innsmouth is a short film that finds its strong point in the presence of Tristan Risk, who plays an ambiguous, gloomy but at the same time very sensual character. Indeed, the whole film centers on the magnetic Risk, her statuesque presence and charm, factors that culminate in a surprise effect mixed with disgust in the unexpected and therefore very welcome ending. However Innsmouth turns out to be an appreciable short film.
In addition to Tristan Risk, Diana Porter and Izzy Lee, the cast also includes Vera Schränkung, Porcelain Dalya, Sophia Cacciola, J. Zocalo and Phil Healy. Cinematography is by Bryan McKay. Valid special effects by Vera Schränkung.
