Risen Zombie Movie : Extra speaks out!

Posted by:

Joe Barbarisi emailed us to tell us that he had the pleasure of being in the Zombie flick RISEN which I keep praising as looking pretty damn cool. He gave us the run down on his experiences on set. I am going to warn you though his capslock button was broken or something.. still well worth reading for all you fanatics!

THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A REVIEW..BUT A ON HAND EXPIERIENCE FROM THE SET OF "RISEN". I PLAYED A PART OF A JOGGER WHO COMES UP THE STREET AND ALL HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE!...ZOMBIES TAKING OVER! I SOON GET ATTACKED AND MAULED BY A CREEPY ZOMBIE.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW, IM A ZOMBIE KNOCKING DOWN THE FRONT DOOR OF OUR MAIN CHARACTORS HOUSE! IM CHASING "SAM" (JOE THACKERY) UP THE STAIRS AS HE LOCKS HIMSELF IN A BEDROOM, WITH ONLY A DRESSER HOLDING ME BACK. SAM LOADS A GUN AS I BREAK MY WAY THROUGH THE DOOR YET AGAIN! ONLY TO BE SHOT IN THE HEAD BY SAM.

THIS FILM HAS ALL THE HINTS OF BEING A CLASSIC HORROR AND ZOMBIE FILM..ALL ELEMENTS ARE IN PLACE. THERE ARE A GREAT CREW LED BY DIRECTOR DAMON GRUMP AND A FUTURE "BIG LEAGUE" CINEMATOGRAPHER JOHN FRANKLIN. AND A WELL WRITTEN SCRIPT BY PRODUCER DAVID TALBOT. FLYING IN FROM NEW JERSEY TO BE PART OF THIS FILM, I CAN ONLY SAY IT WAS MORE THAN I EXPECTED. BEING A HORROR FILM FAN AND OF COURSE A ZOMBIE FILM FAN..I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS FILM HAS ALL YOUR LOOKING FOR IN THESE PICTURES. PLUS A CAST AND CREW THAT GAVE THEIR HEARTS OUT (and bumps and bruises) TO THE MAKING OF THIS FILM.

WITH ALL THE CRAP MOVIES OUT THERE WITH ALL THE OVERBLOWN CGI, SPECIAL EFFECTS, AND ROUTINE PLOTS WE FINALLY CAN GO BACK TO THE SEVENTIES STYLE OF FILMAKING WITH "RISEN"..JUST GIVE THEM A CAMERA, LIGHTS, AND A GREAT CREW AND YOULL HAVE A TRUE CLASSIC HORROR FILM..ZOMBIE FANS,MAKING A MOVIE FOR ZOMBIE FANS. AND THIS WE HOPE MAKES IT TO THE THEATER. LETS HOPE THAT THERE IS A DISTRIBUTER OUT THERE WHO KNOWS WHAT A HORROR FILM HAS AS FAR AS A LOOK AND A FEEL TO IT...ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF SCARES AND SUPRISES! LOOK WHAT "THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT" DID FOR INDIE FILMS. WHILE "RISEN" HAS ALL THAT AND MORE...WATCH OUT!!!
