Dead in Love

A Chris Watson flick Starring: Margaret O'Brien,Joe Estevez,Richard Norton,Dennis Hayden and Tony Todd. A unique look at the love yearnings of a ghost,Actually that's not fair this is a journey for a lost soul to complete the uncompleted yearning of life. OK,Hated the beginning…Too slow and talking heads to set-up the premise. Then,We are pulled into this fun exploration of lost love,What could have been and WHAT just might be ! The three male leads are great- Gerard,Eric and Don,They make quite a team as ensemble performers. The guest stars are sprinkled thru-out and actually have stuff to do,Margaret is really acting her heart out and Richard Norton really adds so much to Eric Edwards performance from their meeting on. OK,Its quirky and romantic and odd,Well there are ghosts that seem helpless in our mundane world. This art-house film is so different from the roots that spawned it,We wish it the widest audience imagined .

I saw this new Chris Watson film with Chris and several cast members at Spudic Movie Empire last year. Watson is known for his horror films, typically filled with blood, sexual perversion and dwarfs. I expected more of the same, but this one really took me by surprise. Two guys die and continue to walk around checking out girls and doing all the things they used to do in this unique romantic comedy. This low budget film is quite original and walks an entirely different path than most by actually being sweet and playing on positive emotions. It's a romantic comedy turned inside out, with lots of little unexpected twists. It surprised me in a very pleasant way. And not the least surprise was to see Oscar winning child star Margaret O'Brien (all growed up) in the picture!
