Trending Position
**_Into the diabolical abyss of Hollywood_** A young woman in Los Angeles works at Big Taters (Alexandra Essoe) while trying to land a role in a cutting edge film. Is she willing to pay the unspoken price for fame and wealth? For the first hour, “Starry Eyes” (2014) is a drama with droll humor ... , but it slowly morphs into psychological horror in the manner of “Rosemary’s Baby” before taking a body horror turn with slasher elements. So, the set-up mixes “Hollywood Boulevard” and “Rosemary’s Baby,” but the flick evolves into something along the lines of “Lillith” (2019). Unlike “Lillith,” which had technical deficiencies, this one’s proficiently made, just marred by a muted palette (which was also the case with “Lillith”). Fabianne Therese stands out on the female front as brunette Erin. Someone criticized that the film glorifies devil worship and selling one’s soul to the dark side. Why Sure! It runs 1 hour, 36 minutes, and was shot in Los Angeles and La Cañada Flintridge, the latter of which is a 30-minute drive northeast of Hollywood. GRADE: B-/C+
