Share on Facebook
Just added! A FRIGHT exclusive interview with GLENN MCQUAID!
Introduction: Find a way to recreate 19th’ century England and Ireland in modern New York City, and get popular actors, stunts, deliver numerous practical effects…ready? Go! This statement might give some emerging indie filmmakers heart attacks, but writer/director Glenn McQuaid took the ball and ran with it.
Adapting his somber, minimalist short film The Resurrection Apprentice into a wilder, bolder comic feature, I SELL THE DEAD finds grave robbing partners Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes (Dominic Monaghan and producer Larry Fessenden) awaiting their executions for their criminal lifestyle.
A holy man (Ron Perlman) arrives, willing to take Arthur’s statements and confessions, and Arthur begins to spin his macabre coming-of-age story, a life of fending off con men and murderers and things that go bump in the night...but who’s conning who? Chock full of gallows humor, atmosphere you can swim in and a barrel of human and supernatural beasts, Dead is a hoot, its decomposing tongue planted firmly in cheek. Produced through Fessenden’s SCAREFLIX line of indie features, the film is about to be exhumed for the world to embrace after its worldwide festival run, winning awards at its Slamdance debut… -by Adam Barnick 8/09
