Film Review – Offseason

“Offseason” isn’t based on a video game, but the film definitely plays like one. Writer/director Mickey Keating attempts to summon a spooky mood of investigation in the movie, following a confused woman’s experience in a fog-filled, largely abandoned town, wandering around the area on a quest for answers she’s not prepared for. There’s a heavy “Silent Hill” vibe to the feature, strong enough to pique the curiosity of lawyers I’m sure, but this doesn’t stop Keating, who arranges a screen nightmare filled with strange encounters, threating developments, and thick atmosphere. “Offseason” is a puzzle, but not one that’s begging to be solved, as the picture doesn’t have much of a story to sink into, mostly dependent on strange events involving unstable minds to bring confusion and frights to the endeavor.
