Spook Bridge

I had the privilege not only seeing the movie Spook Bridge during its local premiere, but also the privilege of being in the film. Therefore, my comments on the film could be construed to be a little bias. However, on a review, let the chips fall where they may. While watching the film, I saw an occasional extra time spent on a scene or two that could have been edited to make the scene a little more concise. But then I would like to ask anyone to tell me that they have never seen, even in the biggest budget films with the best directors, a little wasted time. I thought the special effect were also very good. The Director and the Director of Cinematography utilized the time spent with actors during film wisely. I admire the energy Kirkland and Sebastian spent to edit and promote a really good film. The people of Brooks County and the City of Quitman should be proud to have been a part of Spook Bridge. I saw one review that stated that the film made all the people in the area appear to be red necks and various other descriptive names that I won't repeat. However, a film is a fiction unless otherwise indicated as a true story. Therefore, since when did we start stereotyping people, if we do, we shouldn't, as portrayed in the film as indicative of the actual people in the area where a film was shot? I stated to friends after the premier that Spook Bridge is as good as or better than a lot of films I have watched on Netflix and other venues that include many early film makers such as Roy Kirkland and Doug Sebastian. I still stand by that comment and when you get to see it, you will say the same.

I went to the Friday night showing. A little disappointed that I couldn't find a better seat. I showed up after the guy was talking on stage. The auditorium was packed. I found out the place seated 1200 people. Damn. As soon as the trailers were over (finally...) the movie started. Right off I realized the quality of the film was much better than I figured. Something else shocked me as well. The movie kept my interest. The special effects were surprisingly good. I noticed the audience reactions how they screamed a the scary moments and laughed at the funny moments. I can go on but I have to admit, I went to see this movie skeptical and full of doubt. I left surprised and pleased. I was impressed by the fact that the story was very interesting and the quality of the film and acting was really good. This is my personal take. It seems some are writing to discredit the film in some way. I disagree with their comments. I probably wouldn't have rated this a 10 but after reading some of the comments I thought this film wasn't as bad as what they wrote. So there. 10 it is. Good luck with the film.

What a fantastic movie. The cinematography, the acting, the story. Ground breaking. Breath taking.

The effects are atrocious, the writing is stiff, unfunny and uninteresting, and I'm happy only knowing that it will never leave our local area.

I have to say I'm surprised.

RKDS has come a LONG way for creating such an incredible film. From beginning to finish, I was astonished. The cast and crew have outdone themselves.

From cameos (The Oh ROY! Show) to amazing actors (Domenick DeFrank, Chandler Lane, Megan Pitts, and John Youmans), the film was absolutely beautiful.

The film is aimed for National release. And I think it'll make it.
