Synopsis:
A comic book collector meets two beautiful, mysterious sisters who run a secret collectors’ society. To acquire the rarest of the rare, he must battle a demonic presence in the sisters’ deadly storage facility.
Ah, the joys of collecting. Being obsessed enough about something to track down and acquire all of the things to HAVE THEM ALL, borders on obsession or addiction…and many times it crosses that border.
Here, Parker is an avid collector of comic books, always on the lookout for the big one that’s worth a fortune. After being taken by some scammers who claim to have his holy grail comic, he’s kicked out by his fiancé and forced to move his comicbook collection into a storage unit.
This storage unit is special, though, owned by the reclusive Leto sisters, daughters of a legendary collector and hosts to a veritable menagerie of accumulators of a variety of things both common and… unconventional.
And that doesn’t even begin to touch on what’s actually stored in the units…
Drawn in by the attractive pair, Parker finds himself blessed with access to comicbooks he couldn’t dare have dreamed of finding, all for the low, low cost of performing various tasks for the sisters that would strain the limits of anyone not caught up in the throes of this addiction.
Honestly, Storage Locker could easily have been a wacky comedy, but instead becomes a dark one, culminating in my absolutely favorite style of ending: the unexpected one.
I nearly cried with joy when the last scene completely rocked my all-too-ingrained expectations for stories like this. While I hate the phrase “subvert expectations,” I definitely feel that more film-makers shouldn’t just follow the formula all the way through, but deviate from it if they’d like to.
Not simply to shock the audience or anything, but to tell the story they want to tell it.
Ray Spivey does that here, and I’m glad of it.
Storage Locker is a definite recommend from me.
Storage Locker is now available on Digital platforms and stars Avery Mayo, David Vidal Trevino, Hannah Hufford, Bobbie Grace, and Meredyth Fowler.
And remember, if the BEST thing you can say about a movie is that it’s “visually stunning,” then they’ve done something wrong.
