On Bloody Sunday

Christian Sesma's incisive screen play exposes the dangers of the internet as no other film ever has succeeded in doing. Powerfully directed by Sesma as well, this terrifically enlightening motion picture uses My Space as a platform for deadly terror against helpless teens. Such a mega social media center of communication is a revealed to be the breeding place for evil that puts youth at risk. Annamarie Pasmino gives what is undoubtedly the performance of a lifetime as an innocent young girl targeted by a hellish online predator. The suspense is almost overwhelming and the thrills unrelenting as the film peels away the layers of horror within the world wide web. The screen play pulls no punches as to how monumental the struggle is for law enforcement to protect and in effect rescue misguided teenagers from the worst threat of all: themselves. Nestor Rodriguez is superb in the role of a police detective tasked with resolving the internet maze and he does magnificently in showing the frustration and anger he feels. The film is ultimately a significant cautionary tale that should be seen by every parent and potential teenage victim.

After being inundated with emails about the post from Eko Beach about the movies title, I agreed to comment on it. The term "Bloody Sunday" is a media phrase given to any massacre occurring on a Sunday (obviously). The first was in 1905 with Nicholas II, the czar, of course the most publicized in Northern Ireland in the early 70's. And even Iraq's Bloody Sunday a.k.a BlackWater ( to name a few). So I thought being that these killings take place over the weekend and are uncovered on Sunday....There you have it. I apologize if it was taken as on offense. It seemed a fitting title to a teen slasher flick. I do know that anything can be construed and taken badly if one's out to do so. Being a Latino filmmaker, I could easily choose to take offense to a million and one things in our society. But ultimately I understand where people are coming from. So there you have it. Hope it helps clear the ground a bit. And again sorry for any misgivings. Thanks for the support and or the fuel.
