When you're really good at what you do...


the audience will find you. That's what I did with Katiebird. First off, I truly enjoyed it. On IMDB, I voted 8/10. My wife couldn't finish watching it. She doesn't do eye-gore.

My two-cents: Good movie. Exposition too long. Second half much better than first half. I liked the fingerstyle guitar on the score. I thought the acting and writing were on par with other movies of this caliber. Make-up and special effects were extremely well done. The comic-book look was really annoying for a long time. I understand (as others have said) watching different viewpoints during action (or torture...) but watching a conversation in window-panes was really distracting to my wife and me.

DVD extras are pretty sweet. I enjoyed the commentary and the make-up vignette. I'm sort of done with the philosophising serial killer, though. It's been done much better. Seven, Silence of the Lambs, American Psycho, Saw. I hope Katiebird II has something nice and original to it. I'd like to see slightly more gore and a little nudity (because I'm a guy and I like that sort of thing), and less weird dialogue between dad and daughter.

p.s. It's pretty sweet that the filmmakers are actually on here discussing the movie with the peons. I wonder the last time Spielberg posted about Schindler's List.

hei J...thanks for taking the time to chime in...we really appreciate the support from any and all that have the guts to come forth on behalf of the indie scene...regarding KatieBird II...well...hehee...it will be at least a few more years before I feel ready to go back to that story, but I can promise you that the story covers much more territory and will definitely pay off the unusual dialogues between Katie and her Dad in a very fun and surprising way :P hehee...anyway...thanks again for taking the time and spreading the word...

...wishing the best...from the void...justin.paul.ritter..creator of KatieBird...
