Anonymous Notes, a jump rope, tin foil, a baseball bat, and a drill are just some of the dangerous objects waiting to be discovered in Red Luck, a surreal psychosexual thriller focusing on a group of individuals and the violence that transpires when their paths cross.

A sense of dread pervades the entirety of the nearly wordless Red Luck: from the abstract close-ups at the beginning that gradually come into narrative focus, to the tainted objects that pass through the story, to the dead animals that litter a seemingly peaceful neighborhood, to the ominous and repeating lyrics from a forgotten 1960s folk song, which reminds us that “some things are not meant to be heard.”

"...it's one hell of a deranged, lyrical, mind-melting experience."

“If anything represents the experimental spirit of Slamdance, it’s this tin-foiled caper – an original and striking film full of layered and unexpected images. The film manages to offer a million different narrative paths – from dark and funny to weird and sparkly. A perfect example of a singular experimental work that is easy to watch again and again.”
