Ravenstein

Brilliant thriller, will have you hanging onto your seats and reaching for something to hide behind.

As with Eveshka's other films, the soundtrack really makes it. This one is pure metal unlike the traditional orchestral scores.

Not usually that into this genre but this really got my neck hairs on the move, particularly the score. The film has look and feel of something with 100 times the budget. This really shows what can be done with a lot of dedication, work, and a bit of luck .All aspiring filmmakers should watch this, hopefully we will getting a behind the scenes look at some point.

Looks like another student project.

Well credit where due. It was another movie where you spend the entire time in the dark, but they actual had enough lighting so you aren't constantly trying to se what's going on. OK, that's the good.

The bad of course starts with the script. Not 1 star bad at least. Seems like they started with a decent enough concept and may have spent a whole week working on it. Spend another week or two next time ... amateurish would be an understatement. And many of the scene setups could use a LOT of work.

The next obvious is the music ... hey, sound boy, trying putting the music volume IN BALANCE with the movie. WAY too freaking load.

And the camera work is as terrifying as the movie wanted to be. CONSTANTLY tipping this way then that. Probably got dropped a full letter grade or more on that.

I loved this film! It's always refreshing to see something homegrown, instead of the endless Hollywood dross. Will be sharing this film with friends!
