Screening #21:
Grand Piano IMDb
It is sad to say but this is the last film I got to see at this year's Fantastic Fest. It was a good thriller. They were trying to go for the Hitchcock and old school Brian De Palma feel of suspense. They delivered in that aspect. The story is simple: a great pianist makes his comeback performance after 5 years. During his performance, he gets threatened by this psycho somewhere in the audience. The pianist must not make any mistake or else he and/or his wife will be killed. A few twists and turns. I was entertained but this is nothing special. I would recommend it for a rental or a one night stand but nothing more. There, the festival is over for me. See my list below the Grand Piano trailer for my favorite films of the festival.
