My Editor and I had the distinct pleasure of seeing this film at the 2008
Fallbrook Film Festival as well as meeting the amazing cast/filmmakers during
an interview session.
Adam Pitman, Adam Stilwell and David Blair of BadFritter
Films as well as the rest of the cast were a wonderfully laid back
group with a nice withersin-y sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with them and
look forward to seeing their movie on the big screen one day... now onto my
review.
Paper Dolls grabs you and does not
let go.
It takes a spin on the American Bigfoot Legend, well, numerous spins. The
young cast and crew are genius in their portrayal of the story and have an
amazing talent to pull you in and really believe
in their characters.
A nutty professor, a possibly psycho-kid, an imagined love affair, a nice trip
out to the country, frat parties, escaped slaves, local lore, murder, savagery and
the frightening truth are brought forth in a way that keeps the viewer
guessing- and then second guessing- and shocked until the glorious,
bitter end.
BRILLIANT.
It's dark, it's different and it's pleasantly sinister. Withersin gives
Paper Dolls 4.5 out of 5 ravens!
