FROM A PLACE OF DARKNESS wins at HORRORFIND
FROM A PLACE OF DARKNESS won the BEST FILM Award at the Horrorfind Film Festival in Gettysburg, PA.
It's currently showing on Chiller TV and available through Netflix and Amazon.com
This was one of the films I got to see at Horrorfind. I personally wasn't very impressed with it.
Acting: Aside from John Savage, the actors were mediocre at best. While he grabbed your attention as the villain, the others just made me think "okay, who's going to be the next one to go... I hope it's her... maybe him".
Editing: Yeah, wasn't a fan. Some shots went on far too long, one example being when Miles carried Rosa out after she was stabbed in the arm. We see them go out of frame... waiting... waiting... waiting... suddenly they're back in frame way off in the distance for a second, then cut to next shot.
Sound: There were a lot of instances where it felt like there should've been sound effects... but there were none. It was like watching a workprint at times with on set sounds.
While I don't think it was as bad as the 3.4/10 rating suggests, it wasn't great either. At best, a 5/10 for me.
The bit at the end when the girl stabs the bloke with the bottle, and then he bashes in her head with the camera tripod was dumb. There is a shot where she is supposed to be dead, but you can clearly see the pulse in her neck going up and down. This film was an insult to the intelligence
