Image Entertainment - Dark Reprieve [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC]

I bought this on a whim I had never heard of it. I am into low budget indie "scary" movies and this one did not disappoint. I was particularly impressed that Dark Reprieve was shot on film. Quite unusual for this budget class and genre. My collection is full of indie horrors shot on low class video cameras and they all look horrible. The filmmakers went all out here tackling film and it looked very nice on my TV. Dark Reprieve also comes with a full 5.1 sound mix which I also appreciated. The over all look and feel of this movie is of one that has higher production values than what was probably spent on the movie. Now, this movie is very unusual and may not be every ones cup of tea. I was very intrigued by this films concept, my roommate on the other hand did not really get into it. But if you like a good "thinking man's movie" you should give this a try. Dark Reprieve is a real departure from the usual Hollywood type stuff that is for sure. Yes there are some scary moments....but in reality they are just supporting elements to the very deep mystery that is unfolding. This movie is also packed full of symbolism which I enjoy. So this one is added to my expanding shelf of low budget indies. I wish there was more product like this out there.
