Just got back from one of the best shoots I've ever been on. Went up to Newcastle, ME and conducted a video interview with a young female who uses some of ALLTech's devices to aid her with her dyslexia. We shot a lot of great footage including my first "tear moment". That rare moment in an interview when the story gets so moving then all of a sudden BOOM we's gots a tear caught on camera. Greatness.
We were also able to eat at the famous Red's Diner in Wiscasset. Home of the legitimate, world renowned best lobster roll in Maine. It looked diesel but my puny wallet wouldn't let me indulge. So I subsided with some kind of steak sandwich. But who cares? I don't even care about what I ate earlier so why am I even writing here anymore... so let's get on with a...
FILM ED-VIEW
(I love my shiesty names)
The Vicious Brothers' "Grave Encounters"
Oh-yup, look at that YouTube picture. This is already frightening. Let me just start off this brief review by saying that this film is the best horror movie I've seen in quite some time. That's not saying a lot though as the mainstream horror genre has been in need of a do-over with all these gross-out films & Asian knock-offs. But this is "Paranormal Activity" done right, and at the same time, a complete mind fondle.
The plot focuses on a group of skeptical paranormal investigators from a television show who inspect an abandoned mental asylum. Things start off slow but they pick up as the team continues to bury themselves into this place.
The filmmakers did a great job of controlling the atmosphere of the movie as you go from feeling like you're watching footage from this TV show to feeling like you're right there with them. It gets to a point where you're the one walking through your own personal "haunted house".
The concept has been done but it's still original in its own sense. There were parts in the film that kind of ruined the realism of the story but if you look passed these issues, you have a real horror gem with a decent-enough story. I've been in love with horror movies since I was like 5 so it takes quite a bit to move me, but this one right here had me completely involved. It has the potential for a sequel as there is so much history left out but I'm not sure if this film needs that kind of treatment, but we'll see. Look what happened to Saw I through whatever they're up to now... gross.
! ! ! 1/2
I gave the film 3 1/2 out of 5 exclamation points. Corny, I know but it's all I got. But yeah, if you're frightened then let me calm you down with...
