Ok, I feel obliged to give a mini review here of Dark Dreams.


*Possible Spoiler*

Just finished watching Dark Dreams, I am speechless, really a fantastic job, my god the mix of visual styles work fantastic with some great effects, the music well its very atmospheric and works really well. Those dream sequence and flashbacks were excellent and the story telling was perfect, with feeling.. The credits are first class with a great song that just puts a feather in the cap for completness.

Do you know when it finished I could not believe it, I was really getting into it and the story was just unfolding when it had to finish, the 40 minutes or so felt like a great episode of LOST what with the flashbacks and the abrupt ending, except Carl Had this story sussed years before LOST!!

But.. one small niggle, now dont take this wrong it could be just me or my TV but I did find it hard to understand Lord Akrafa (too much Echo) and had to really concentrate on what was been said. but hey its a mild observation, please dont let it put a damper on all the other great things in this movie.

You cant leave it another 10 years for the rest... you do have the footage dont you?

But really, great work you should be proud.

Finally, I really do wish I could turn the clock back and be more involved in this production.

Hi Carl,

I finally got to see WSOT last night. What can I say? Brilliant, well done, fantastic, congratulations! Like Dave (RDE) I was left wanting to see more, the 48 minutes or so seemed to pass in an instant, and that is the mark of a truly entertaining piece of work. The music is wonderful, the look of the film is amazing (can't believe that some of those shots were done on VHS) - the cinematography had a kind of ethereal quality (reminded me of the Singing Linging tree) and that fitted the subject matter magnificiently!

Please don't think you or anyone else think that I am just saying these things because I am your friend. That is not the case... you know me, if I think something is c*** I have no problem saying it. You have a piece or work that you should be proud of. I really hope that this film gets you some funding so that you can make the full version of the script.

Anyone who wants to see what can be done with a tiny budget a load of determination and a huge amount of talent should buy this DVD.

Well done Carl.

Best

John
