Review of Late Fee (2009) by Jason D — 08 Nov 2009
Late Fee has a young couple going into a video store just before it closes on Halloween night, where they beg the owner to let them rent a couple of movies for the evening. The couple pick two "unique" films, The Pick-Up and Damnation, which the owner is hesitant to let them rent, but finally agrees after given them a strict no-tolerance speech on a late fee if the movies aren't returned back by midnight.
Laughing off the owner, the couple go home to watch the films, which turns into a small anthology as the viewers also watch the movies. Since this is from the Fever Dreams movie company, the film references are heavy fyi.
The Pick-Up (a LOOSE sequel to Fever Dreams' Flesh For the Beast) is about a call girl/succubus from the house from FFTB that goes out on a call to a weird gentleman who is taken to a strange motel for unexpected and gory fun.
Damnation (a LOOSE sequel to Fever Dreams' Shadow: Dead Riot) has a regular woman being arrested, tried, and jailed by a crooked cop and judge who run a strange prison where torture, cannibalism, and sexual misconduct are afoot.
Damnation runs the longest of the two, but both have an equal amount of overabundant gore (i.e. free abortion, penis castration, etc). The acting in the film is BEYOND bad, and the stories are equally bizarre as the films that inspired them.
If you are unfamiliar with Fever Dreams movies, you are wasting your time with watching Late Fee as it will be one giant inside joke you will not get. This is STRICTLY recommended for those who watched AND enjoyed Shadow: Dead Riot and Flesh For the Beast ONLY.
