Review of Dead Still

Dead Still (2014)
10/10
A Wonderful Way to Spend the Evening
7 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
A camera with a life of its own, and postmortem photography. Now, talk about an interesting storyline. Not your typical storyline you see in today's movies - which is why I find this movie a refreshing change from what we see in the movies or on television. Frankly, this one is one of the best Halloween movies released in 2014, proving you don't need excessive blood to make a good film.

It takes a lot of good acting to convey thoughts and feelings from one who cannot speak. The young actor (Gavin Casalegno) in this movie, does a remarkable job in the movie.

The music in the movie allows one to immerse themselves right into the story, which is one of the the things I have always enjoyed about a Booth Brothers film. Saint always manages to bring forth the emotions he wants you to feel with the right score - and timing is everything.

As is always the case, if the lessons are not learned, history has a way of repeating itself. A lesson we learn in this movie - as we clearly see at the end.

A two hour thrilling ride into postmortem photography, complete with imagination. Truly - a great tale of imagination from Philip Booth and his brother Christopher Booth. I highly recommend the movie if you want a break from the typical horror on the screen and want to step back to the way things were done, and how I they can be done with class.
