A Zombies Tale - 16mm short film I made for college! Satan with a Long Island accent!

http://www.cinefear.com/ Here is a ten minute thesis film I made for college. It was supposed to be a witchhunt epic like Witchfinder General but hideous weather and shooting conditions forced me to use a classmates screenplay and shoot this whole thing indoors. The initial drama between the Long Island man selling his soul to the Long Island Devil was shoot in 1987. The inserts involving the Zombie and murder were shot in 1989. By 1990 the whole thing was put together in the lab. Actor Paul richichi, who at the time we called Richichi the Uncanny, gives Joe Dallesandro a run for his money. His delivery has been the same in just about every film I ever made, which in turn makes him a steady and reliable actor. Not so much a good one, but a memorable one. He sure as Hell beats out any Tom Cruise movie in terms of entertainment value. This film, which I did not write, was obviously inspired by Angel Heart, with Mickey Rourke. But I loved Zombie films at the time so hence the walking corpse (that I did add). If you'd like to see more of this type of entertainment, it's part of the Cinefear Sampler, located on this page: http://www.cinefear.com/cincoll.html . Dig Paul Richichi's nose...One of the scariest things in this whole film.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. The guy who wrote it and starred in it was hung up on both Angel Heart and Mickey Roark. Hence that explains why it plays like it does, it was his version of the story. The zombie rising from the grave was my contribution to the script, and I was more interested in Fulci's Zombie than Pet Cemetery. Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I had a good time making it.

Great amateur movie.

There's way too much commonality with Alan Parker's Angel Heart (Mickey Rourke, Robert DiNiro 1987). Either Parker stole from you, or the two of you borrowed from another story. Satan's reversed name is a lot like Louis Seifert, and the end scene where your protagonist is told he's going to hell and he says "yeah I know" are almost word for word. How is that?

Also some commonality with Pet Sematary regarding the resurrected wife. But I really dug it.
