Every once in a while, a low key movie comes along and makes you
realise that there are writers and directors out there who enjoy making
films, and more importantly, make them right.
Cassadaga is one of those.
Anthony DiBlasi works his magic over Bruce Wood's excellent story,.
much in the same vein as Dread, but here, he manages to keep the
suspense going right until the end. It's easy in this genre, to fall
into the trap of letting the horror and gore overtake a great story,
and in Cassadaga, the temptation to branch off to this must have be
huge, however DiBlasi sticks to his guns, and directs us through the
prickly path of the story mixing romance, horror, tension and chills in
equal amounts to leave the viewer completely satisfied.
The casting of Kelen Coleman is a perfect - it's not often you watch a
movie and instantly click with the lead actors, but Kelen's personality
shines through from the start and the empathy immediately connects
viewer and actor.
I don't like reviewing movies and putting spoilers in, and I'm not
about to start now, suffice to say, that the suspense is carried
through the entire film, and done brilliantly, and whilst the ending
may not be as big a surprise as you may expect, it's delivered
perfectly, closing off a superb chiller.
If you come across this little gem, don't pass it by, as you'll be
missing out on an excellent film - grab it with both hands, sit back
and let yourself go - you won't be disappointed.
