Playback (2012)

Playback (2012)

Dir- Michael A Nickles

High schools students looking to do a video project decide to reenact an infamous murder that occurred years before. Unfortunately, a former student who helps out becomes possessed by a sinister force that wishes to continue the murders and seek out its heir. Playback was directed by Michael A Nickles and featured Christian Slater, Ambyr Childers, and Toby Hemingway. Playback is a routine possession thriller that uses video and the internet instead of ancient books or demonic objects. While this does open the door for some great possibilities, we get a routine and predictable copy of an 80's demon movie. Christian Slater is easily the most recognizable cast member, but he is a side character and vastly underutilized.
