CERT: TBC / DIRECTOR & SCREENPLAY: JODY BARTON / STARRING: DOMINIQUE SWAIN, LANETT TACHEL, RICH FINLEY, FELISSA ROSE / RELEASE DATE: VOD OUT NOW

Director James Cullen Bressack has built up a surprising body of work around his Jennifer movies. An ultra low-budget series of comedy horror films consisting of To Jennifer, 2 Jennifer (geddit), From Jennifer, and now For Jennifer (4 Jennifer, geddit) this found footage franchise just won’t quit. As with the other sequels, Bressack himself sits this one out aside from an executive producer credit, with newcomer Jody Barton taking the director’s chair.

For Jennifer follows a gang of filmmakers who, inspired by the previous Jennifer movies, set out to make their own movie. And, as with the previous films in the series, For Jennifer is shot entirely via iPhone – both in real life, and in the film’s own meta-reality. Unfortunately, wannabe filmmaker Joey, girlfriend Jennifer, and friend Stefanie are about to discover firsthand the curse of the Jennifer movies for themselves..

One’s enjoyment of this sequel will depend on a love for the Jennifer series and a high tolerance, both for found footage horror and (very) independent cinema. But you don’t get four films into a series without a fanbase, and it’s easy to see why this one will have its followers. It’s wildly ambitious for a film shot on an iPhone, and its strange, grisly little story intrigues, not unlike Creep and its sequels. This outlandish, gruesome found footage film isn’t for everyone, but it makes for a sweet and surprisingly solid love letter to itself and its own mythology.
