Stars: Tony Todd, Sally Kirkland, Douglas Tait, David Beeler, Joel Bryant, Stacey Carino, Richardson Chery, Adam David, Jemal Draco | Written and Directed by Kimberly Seilhamer
An albino, a deaf mute, a jock, a fat kid, a sexually-abused girl and a token “Angry Asian” chick all get on a bus… Sounds like the start of some strange non-pc joke right? Well it’s not. It’s actually how writer/director Kimberly Seilhamer chooses to open her directorial debut Jack the Reaper - a great pun which is lost in the films re-titling to merely The Reaper.
The film follows a group of teenage stereotypes all forced into Saturday detention in the library at the railroad museum (really?) after failing to turn in a paper on the Industrial Revolution. What one has to do with the other I’m not sure – well the railroad was important in getting the products of industry across the Us right.

Sally Kirkland is in it! It's getting distributed!
There are "unsuspecting teens", a "desert carnival" called Death's Door, and a 'Railroad reaper" (whatever the fuck that is!) and it was shot in California's parched and heated Mojave desert. There are also stuffed animals, a haunted mansion ride, and lots of wind (according to IMDb. I'm doing my best, here). Basically, I love horror directed by women, and it is very rare to see a slasher film directed by a woman, especially these days.
Low budget staple Tony Todd (Candyman) plays the museum curator, Douglas Tait (Freddy vs. Jason) is the slasher Railroad Jack, and Sally Kirkland plays a grandma. What a great role for a woman! Not.
One By One is the directing debut of Kimberly Seilhamer who also wrote the thrillers Inside Irvin and The Keyman.

Los Angeles native Jemal Draco says he has always felt like an underdog. "I'm ethnic, I'm skinny, I'm short, and I'm very alternative-looking," he explains. That's why he was thrilled when writer/director Kimberly Seilhamer called him in to read for the part of Tyler in her feature-length horror film "One by One: Death's Door" after receiving his submission through BackStage.com."All horror films have the token jock that does what he wants to do and says stupid things, but Tyler is more complicated than that," Draco explains. "Kimberly wanted someone a little more alternative and different. I was just excited to have the chance to actually read for a part like this. I came in dressed in a studded vest, spiked my hair, had boots, ripped jeans, and put my hair in a Mohawk.""We searched high and low for Tylers, let me tell you," says Seilhamer. "I interviewed probably 75 to 100 Tylers.
