DARK WINDOWS MOVIE REVIEW
Tracy Chapman once asked do you got a fast car in a great song about an impoverished woman trying to break the cycle of poverty set to folk rock. Bradly Martin is asking, why not call an uber if you’re drunk? Do not drink and drive and do not get into a drunk driver’s automobile. Dark Windows directed by Alex Herron and written by Ulvrik Kraft is about four friends at a funeral. Three of them are alive and one of them is dead. Tilly (Anna Bullard) Monica (Annie Hamilton) and Peter (Rory Alexander) are mourning the loss of their friend Alison (Grace Binford Sheene) because of a tragic car accident with a drunk behind the wheel and a car prank gone wrong. The trio know they will never be able to bury their guilt under the judgmental gaze for Alison’s family. They decide to hold their own personal memorial for Ali at a summer cabin in the woods, surrounded by forest, with no cell phone service, and lots of booze. Each friend slowly comes undone by the haunting guilt getting the best of them, or maybe something more rational is out there in the woods… with a knife! Bradly, LeWayne and Melina discuss home invasions of the past, supernatural thrillers that ramp up the gore, what the difference is between a ghost story and a family film, and even get around to discussing this movie Dark Windows.
DIRECTED BY: Alex Herron
STARRING: Rory Alexander, Vanessa Borgli, Anna Bullard, Christine Donion, Rachel Fowler, Annie Hamilton, Morten Hoist, Grace Binford Sheene, Jóel Sæmundsson, J.P. Wohl
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
