The Crier
review by Terry Wickham A man wants to get back the woman of his dreams, so he makes a deal with an old witchthe cost is unleashing The Crier; an evil incarnation of a woman, who had been murdered two hundred years ago. The film really kicks things off with a bang with an opening credits sequence that takes over nine minutes to finish. The producers/director try to fit almost all the crew members into the above the line credits. This is the first time Ive ever seen gaffer, 1st assistant camera, 2nd assistant camera, best boy, dolly grip, key grip, grip, sound mixer, assistant sound mixer, catering and other below the line credits, listed in the above the line credits. These opening credits are intercut with a long winded monologue that really bogs the film down. Heres an idea of some of the monologue, I will return. I will kill your children and your childrens children and their childrens children. Forever and ever and ever and ever. In one scene, there is some nice lighting at night by a pool side, provided by DP Anthony V. Ruggieri. Jason McComb, the actor who plays Henry, the janitor/yardman character, is the best actor in the film. He has a nice screen presence and kind of reminds me of a young Jeffrey Combs. Though shot on film, the film feels like the work of complete amateurs. This stems from the unprofessional opening credits, stilted dialogue and very little action. The director is proud enough to sign his name with his credit, I dont know if I would have done that. This isnt something to proud of. OFFICIAL WEB SITE:
