Salvage

It's flying by on TMC, but I want to toss a compliment to the little indie horror flick Salvage. Worth putting on the Netflix queue -- surprisingly well acted, a great play-fair mystery. Not monstrously complex, but a nice little jab to the gut. Couple really great creep-out scenes. That's the point, actually, they manage to pull off what very few American horror movies have any feeling for -- creepiness. Has a Session 9 vibe to it ( not quite in the same league, but hell -- Session 9 remains one of the great under-rated horror flicks of the last ten years).

Salvage won't change your life, but you'll come out the end wondering who the hell the Crook Brothers are and why they're directing in West Virginia. Well done.

Isn't the whole point of the 4th generation media thing that they CAN direct from West Virginia?

Good point. My question is more why are they out THERE and several high=paid fuckwits are HERE. Regardless, go watch. They must've made it for a buck, and I'd trade it for most horror films this year.

So would someone like Craig Brewer also be included as this kind of filmmaker? He doesn't seem like he is leaving the south anytime soon to head to L.A. and make movies.

I know a lot of people here in New Orleans who have lived there and gave up and came here to work in movies or to make their own movies.

Also, would Rodriguez be considered, for lack of a better term, a regional director, since he pretty much has everything he needs to make movies set up in Austin?

Sorry rambling here.

Also, John, what do you think of the Sunshine trailer which came out today?

Why are there high paid people of dubious quality where the money is? Money attracts people who want money and who have the talent for talking people into giving it them despite their lack of other talent.

On the other hand someone can make good work anywhere because the Internet allow them to change the location element of the marketing mix from a negative (can't get distribution) to a positive (quirky local flavour=interesting). The reduced costs of production let them do it without compromising themselves to the big money machine that would force them to move to the centre of production.

In 17th and 18th century there was an explosion of poetry and political publishing. Anyone with a bit of spare money could print and distribute their work cheaply selling them for a penny or halfpenny each. It strikes me that there is a parallel to the changes happening today.

Their movie SUCKER PUNCH was one I wanted to buy for York when I saw it at the Urbanworks film Festival in NYC.

Made for $50K or so, it was pure pulp and featured great performances and "real" characters.

Blood and Donuts languishes in obscurity (not even on DVD yet). This is a true crime, for B&D is one of the best vampire (while not really horror) movies ever. Sigh.
