Indemnity

I had the privilege of seeing "Indemnity" at a film festival in Pittsburgh and witnessed it win an award. It is a well-written and directed story by David Dietz who also stars with a small cast of unknowns that include Crystalann Jones, Dan I. Radakovich and Megan Yost among others who were expertly picked to portray rather memorable characters in what is set primarily in a rural bar. Dietz displays rather remarkable talent, writing what is original to the genre with brilliant satiric comic touches and well-paced suspense. He is aided greatly by the original music by Kevin MacLeod (with a number of country and western rock songs by Ruff Creek). It was a well-deserved win. Everything is well-done, down to the set decoration. (Some night scenes are a little too dark). Someday, one may see the day when "Indemnity: Rage of a Jealous Vampire" attain a place of hallowed ground it deserves as a different, pleasing addition to the vampire genre. It certainly makes you want to see more from the producers.

Dietz and company real know how to tell a story. That's what I liked about Indemnity Rage of A Jealous Vampire. Many people say you have to have lot of shocking, twisted scenes of gore. But Dietz chooses the high road. Focusing more on story then flashy effect and buckets of blood. The acting is really strong from Crystalann Jones ( Angela ). Dietz himself know stranger to acting crafts a multifaceted character in William. I love that you learn about William through Joe, the owner of Rinky Dinks. Which brings me to Dan I. Radakovich, brings sincerity to the role of Joe. Who could simply be a throw away character but Radakovich makes him interesting. All of this done on a limited budget which only makes it more amazing. This is a must see thriller style Vampire movie, so checkout; if you dare.

This movie proves that even a flick made on a shoestring budget can still have a more interesting story than what we often get churned out of the modern Hollywood movie factory. Everyone in this story has something to contribute and even our "evil" vampire has her motivations. I like a movie that doesn't play by the rules, and, as a fan of alternative fiction, it's people like David that remind me that we don't have to put up with the same old thing being regurgitated time and again in California. Keep up the good work David!
