Country bumpkin Joshua (Braeson Herold) feels a little lost in New York
City, so he asks sophisticated local Veronica (Allison Siko) for
directions - and ultimately she takes him to her apartment for some BDSM
sex, with her playing the dominant part. But it was all just roleplay,
actually she's a prostitute, and the apartment is Joshua's, who has made
himself a birthday present. Then though, when they're having a goodbye
drink, he collapses, with blood coming out of his eyes. He urges Veronica
to leave, but she does the right thing instead and drags him to his bed
then nurses him until he feels better. During this time they have long
conversations about everything, from the spiritual to the mundane, and
grow close to one another. Thing is, there's something odd about Joshua -
but Veronica finds out only much too late when she slowly loses her senses
after having been drugged. You see, Joshua is an immortal - as long as he
sacrifices a woman to his father, a water demon, every year, on his
birthday ... Zero Avenue tries to be many things at
once, horror, fantasy, romance, drama and comedy, all while confining its
action mostly to just one not too big apartment and to two actors. And
surprisingly enough this blend mostly works, thanks to a cleverly
structured script that doesn't give away too much too soon, a rather
dynamic directorial effort, and camerawork that gets the most out of the
limited sets. But what really makes the film are the performances by the
leads who not only have great chemistry but also manage to bring the
ambivalence of the script to life, to make this a very engaging
genre-bending tour de force.
