Character
[edit]The character Alfred Costella is a short-tempered, erratic,[2] egotistical and nihilistic film director, who's obsessed with finishing his final film, Everybody Dies by the End.[3][5] His previous films such as Battery Acid and Kill Time have created a sense of notoriety around his filmmaking process.[2] Costella is a foul individual with a dominant spirit who thrives on having control in every situation and no one tells him when he's wrong.[1][6] He's a bully and a narcissist with mercurial tendencies.[7][4][8]
Reception
[edit]Rory Doherty at Vulture Magazine said Costella pesters his actors, enjoys a crew with "cultlike devotion," and has malicious intent "beyond dedication to craft."[1] Kat Hughes at The Hollywood News said that "Costella’s mantra ‘accept, celebrate, immortalise’ has chilling connotations."[6] JP Nunez at Horror Obsessive said he is "as lovable as ever."[9] Brendan Jesus at Horror Press described the filmmaking set on screen as "Camp Costella."[10] Anton Bitel at Projected Figures claimed he is "brilliantly exposed in all his aggressive schlubbiness".[7] S. Rockwood at Set The Tape said "Al is a prima donna who swings from joviality to fury."[11]
Charles Cassady at Video Librarian Magazine says he is "flat-out insane" and "delivers long (very long) rants full of tortured-artist self-pity, ego, and self-justification."[12] Mark Walker at Ginger Nuts of Horror said "he’s someone who can flip from fun-loving buddy to nut-job with the snap of a clapperboard."[13] "David and Tara Court at Ginger Nuts of Horror wrote "If you think Tippi Hedren suffered at the hands of Hitchcock, you ain’t seen nothing yet."[8]
