‘Safe. Secure. Psychotic.’
Self Storage is a 2013 dark comedy horror film lazy night watchman who invites college friends to a private party at his remote facility. Unknown to them, owners Walter (Eric Roberts) and Trevor (Michael Berryman) run a black-market organ harvesting operation inside the locked units
The movie was written and directed by Tom DeNucci (Army of the Damned; Almost Mercy) who also appears as Jake. It was produced by Chad A. Verdi for The Woodhaven Production Company.
The movie stars Eric Roberts, Jonathan Silverman, Michael Berryman, Vanessa Leigh, Nick Principe, David Gere and Tracey Sheldon.
Plot:
Jake (DeNucci) is the overnight security guard at a highly secured self-storage facility in rural Rhode Island. When his friend’s party plans fall through, he invites them to his job site to throw a fiesta of his own. There couldn’t be a better location: removed, no people, nothing but party… right?
Innocent mischief turns a naughty night of fun into an evening of horror. We soon learn that some things were meant to stay under lock and key and certain places were supposed to be left undisturbed…
Our review:
Self Storage is somewhat overindulgent during the party scenes but the slick presentation, character actors (Roberts and Berryman are great fun), kills and cynical social satire more than compensate. The film is flawed by a strange balance of component parts although it’s nevertheless a mildly promising debut from DeNucci.
