editing, music, and ingenuity.
I was entertained by this 15 min short original cosmic horror
piece Beauty in the Dark. The audience that was there
with me never lost their attention. Some tried to. Only to sit
quietly and fascinated with the colorful strong images from
this new film maker. What would he do next! A few hecklers seemed
more to be having fun and stopped when the work showed it's
strengths. It seems like a first attempt but the weaknesses
are the exception. Low budget still did not stop this short
from shining.
One comment is the door from
Hell. Wonderful. you have to see it. Not sure how to hook up
to this film maker or where this piece is playing or will play.
But if you see it by all means enjoy it.

I was lucky enough to attend
last years H.P. Lovecraft film festival. There were many great
films but here is a review on one new comer with an original
project.
"Beauty in the Dark" one of the best lit pieces
I've seen in the smaller format works. They had a wonderful
cosmic door scene that would take your breath away. There wasn't
a sound in the house when this sequence came up. All eyes were
glued. Bravo! I was pleased to see this work added to this data
base as this man has real talent. We will see if he can keep
it up. The work felt Lovecraftian with octopuses for Cthulhu
and lots and lots of mood!!!
Any one in the Portland area
this October should treat themselves to this festival. Don't
miss it if you can help it. Hopefully this work and many of
the others will play again for your enjoyment!
