Bizarre occurrences plague a home, but it remains unclear if they signal a manifestation of evil or the illusory products of a woman's mental breakdown in Dark Mirror, director and co-screenwriter Pablo Proenza's tense supernatural thriller. The tale begins when a family of three -- photographer-cum-mother Deborah (Lisa Vidal), her husband, Jim (David Chisum), and their son, Ian (Joshua Pelegrin) -- move into a house with a number of oddities attached, including not only a shady history, but creepy aesthetic touches such as mirrors that reflect to infinity and panels made of beveled glass. Deborah begins to work toward rebuilding her career behind the camera, but everyone who appears in her photographs suddenly and inexplicably dies. On an even more unsettling note, Deborah begins to suspect that the two women closest to her -- her best friend and her mother -- are in fact the walking dead, or zombies. The occurrences in the house seem to manifest themselves as omens, beckoning Deborah to interpret everything, but the signs conflict -- and threaten to drive Deborah beyond the point of comprehension when she discovers an odd book left behind by the prior owners, and filled with strange, cryptic diagrams and notations. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Can a gay man with a weight problem find happiness in the most image-conscious town on Earth? Louie Cappa (Dominick Brascia) is a stand-up comic whose career is going great; he's landed an appearance on The Tonight Show and has even taped his own special for HBO. However, Louie's private life isn't so good; Louie is gay, but he's too self-conscious to come out of the closet to his friends. Louie's insecurities are not helped much by his appearance -- recently relocated to California, surrounded by the tall, thin, and beautiful, Louie is a short, stocky guy who in his own mind looks like a troll. Louie finally works up the nerve to tell his best friend Steven (David Chisum) that he's gay, and Louie is worried how this will impact their friendship. Steven, who is straight, takes the news in stride at first, and even goes so far as to take Louie to a gay bar in hopes that his friend can meet someone special. However, things get uncomfortable when a number of men start hitting on the taller and better-looking Steven, while Louie looks on in despair. My Life As a Troll was written and directed by actor Dominick Brascia, who first learned the ropes as a director on the slice-and-dice horror film Evil Laugh. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
