Horseman of the apocalypse

To beat the 104 degree heat and unbelievable boredom, me and crew were at it again.
Can a youtube clip scarier than death? Apparently so.

I gotta thank the crew again:
Brandon for Nicolas Cage impression, David for mindblowing lighting set-up and Asuan(?) for your emotional support.

What we need is some kickass soundtracks.

Gosh, I haven't done any filming in years. Bored out of my mind, me and some kids decided to make use of the new HD video camera at work.
It's shot on SONY PMW-F3L XD CAM with an 18mm Zeiss Prime.

I have to thank these brave souls who made this sacrilege possible:

Eric the horse whisperer
David for his mesmerizing performance
Asuan for lighting, btw, how do you spell your name?

Insidious (2010) - Wan

Director James Wan (Saw) delivers some really effective scares in this Poltergeist + Nightmare on Elm Street mash-up. Wan takes his time to gear up the suspense and it pays off nicely. The visual is pure 80s Argento, with red dominating the color palette. At time's Insidious feels like a Tom Waits music video and has no weight to it since the devil's appearance and demeanor (with hula music and all) has no strong reference points from anywhere other than some shaky urban legend tabloid stories. The ending almost ruins the good fun, but it still is much better than other recent horror films.
