Bloody Wedding's Pason plays the stepsister of the bride.

If the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew re-teams to comment on an R-rated horror flick for a change, may we nominate the no-budget OC indie Bloody Wedding?

Filmed at Yosemite resort, the slasher oozed onto a Triangle Square screen Friday night for its world premiere.

Bloody Wedding was written and produced by Patricia Sharkey, who moonlights as the full-time vice president of human resources at Greenlaw Partners in Newport Beach. Sharkey, Bruce Fordyce and Mike Merickel sold a film titled Homeless Joe to Troma Entertainment in 2010.

Robert Hoover, the Bloody Wedding director who doubles as a Dana Point bartender, had been the director of photography on Homeless Joe. His Bloody Wedding DP was Brad Harris.

By the way, Homeless Joe was filmed in Huntington Beach, Triangle Square and among the sewer pipes of Lake Forest (also the name of my new band). Some crew and cast members for that earlier project were plucked from Saddleback College.

Bloody Wedding is about an average-looking young woman (Kate Murdoch) who snags what seems to be a handsome prince to marry by a lake. An unusual wedding party shows up for the nuptials. One guest is played by shapely OC local Tawny Amber Young, a Buffalo Wild Wings bartender who is considered the Sharkey Pictures' "Scream Queen."

As for Sharkey, in addition to working full-time and writing and producing, she also catered and made wardrobe her movie.

"I love it," she says, "but I'm exhausted."

Here is the trailer:

The Newport Screening was really fun. People were clapping at each kill scene and talking back to the screen. It was the best experience I've had at the movies in a long time.

That's true. Pason is the actress who play Tiffany in Bloody Wedding. Tawny Amber Young plays Frankie, her best friend in Bloody Wedding. Both are fabulous.

The Word of God DOES NOT have to conform to society, It never has and never will. God our loving, kind, Heavenly Father, who created us, has given us His Word to save, lead and guide us. We are free to make choices, our choices have consequences. The world (society) is and always has been at odds with GOD's Word because we want to do our own thing. If Christ was ridiculed, scoffed at and maligned, should we, his followers expect any less? Yet, we love with the love of Jesus Christ. Because one claims to KNOW Him, it doesn't mean that they are known OF Him.
