Elektra: The Hand & the Devil (2009)
This was the best fan interpretation of Elektra and Daredevil to date!!!
I have to agree with the two other posters that this is quite possibly the best rendition of Elektra and Daredevil yet. Its obvious this is a fan film, but man it delivers what its two Hollywood counterparts could not- faithfulness to the source material. Oh and to the one guy from Holland who hates this movie with an undying passion- you wouldn't know a good movie if it bit you in the ass.
This 20 minute short with probably a budget of nothing, accomplished what Hollywood would could not and bare in mind, Hollywood had millions of dollars, professional stunt crews, CGI and celebrities at their disposal.
Now for a tiny little fan film to upstage 2 multimillion dollar productions like that is just amazing. Keep that in mind when watching this film.
No money, no celebs, no CGI. Just true fans doing what they love.
Mental Scars (2009)
Shooting on film doesn't make your movie any better....
I'm not sure what the budget for this film was, but they would have saved a ton of money if they shot this on video. I don't care what anyone says, a bad script is a bad script whether its on 35mm or HDV. The trick is to own up to it before you blow thousands of dollars on an end result that got 12 one star reviews on this site. That's just sad.
And I'm sure someone from the crew or some fan is gonna argue how film makes everything better. But truth be told, it doesn't. A turd is still a turd no matter how much you polish it. If this were my movie and I was heart set of keeping the script the same, I would have done it on HDV this way my investors would save a bucks.
I wish the producers all the luck in the world on their next venture. Hopefully they learned something about movie making from this experiment.
