Growing Out

Growing Out




Tom (Michael Hampton) has an unsuccessful career in songwriting but that’s not the main cause for worry. What really disturbs him is the house for which he is a caretaker. The eerie thing about the basement is a hand which grows into an arm and eventually develops into a person (Ryan Sterling) for whom Tom becomes the sole provider and the two have a healthy relationship. Concurrently with this uncanny encounter, Tom is head over heels in love with beautiful Veronica (Devon Iott) who happens to be the sweetheart of Tom’s neighbor, Philip (Chase Hemphill). Not only that, Veronica’s life is dotted with mystery. This leaves Tom in a state of perplexity and he’s unable to reach a satisfactory decision.

Directed by Graham Ratliff and written by Garett Ratliff, the film would have worked better had it been a little purposive. Looks like the fault is with the screenplay, at times the conversation between Philip and Veronica seems gratuitously long.
