Featured review
Good true crime drama
With his first film Jeff Wedding gives us a throwback to the 90's cop dramas. With a tale of a damaged cop who ends up going after a very damaged serial killer and victim of child abuse. The subject matter of child abuse is handled very realistically, not really shown, but you get the emotion from the voice overs. This is a good touch cause it let's you get into the mind of the killer, and why he's doing what he's doing. Very reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, which I'm sure was some inspiration behind this movie. David Mellow does a wonderful job with the cinematography, the camerawork and lighting. The sound design is of very good quality.
For being an indie film-maker, here are his first attempt. You can see already he films his films with a quality higher classed than most indie film-makers. This is no masterpiece and it does tend to pace itself on long takes of people talking, very similar to the crime dramas it's based on. The movie it reminded me most of was the fantastic film Relentless (1989). The flow and plot-line are very similar in there. Katie Groshong shines in the limited role she has, but Ben Clayton keeps the movie moving.
All in all, I give this movie kudos for being a director's first attempt, and a very good one at that. For Jeff Wedding would go on to make masterpieces.
