STARBURST review of The Anatomy of Monsters

Image
After serial killer Andrew sets out for another night of hunting, he encounters the attractive and nerdy Sarah in a bar and after some intellectual flirting they are soon heading to an anonymous motel room. What follows is a series of confessions and mind games that gradually reveal the extent to which neither of them are who they claimed, even to themselves. Anatomy of Monsters feels a little like a stage play, with lengthy dialogue-driven scenes that focus far more on character than action, allowing you deep inside the heads of killers and what drives them while also preventing them from truly feeling anything about the deaths afterwards. It’s not much of a spoiler to reveal that Sarah is also a serial killer and was hunting Andrew as much as he thought he was hunting her. The dynamic between them during the series of shifting manipulations is fascinating to watch, as are the stories Sarah weaves of the development of her craft alongside a fledgling romantic

Genesis of the film- In February of 2013 Raindance founder Elliot Grove discovered the script writt en by an outcast from a MA in screenwriting, Mark Rogers, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy and Asperger Syndrome – an unlikely combination of afflictions for a screenwriter.

Director Ate de Jong: "The script was so scary and haunting, I couldn't stop reading. And after I finished I changed the locks on my door. Then I looked in the mirror and wondered, how much in me is Tom, how much the intruder?

Exclusive Interview with Conner Marx (Z-Nation, Leverage) about his upcoming movie, The Anatomy of Monsters  The Anatomy of Monsters on Sale at Artsploitation Films 1.  What attracted you to the character of Nick Jones in The Anatomy of Monsters? Nick's a stinkbug; you can't crush him. He's got a confidence in himself that manifests in a clarity of purpose, and I find that to be a really enviable quality. He knows he likes Sarah, and he doesn't bullshit about it. He puts himself out there openly, authentically, and unabashedly.     2.  How was it working with Byron C. Miller? Byron's on a very short list of "I'll work with him no matter what" directors. He's just a really stand up guy and I have a ton of respect for the way he approaches filmmaking, which is, fundamentally, people first. The word integrity keeps coming to mind. He works with integrity. You just know he's always looking to do the right thin

Exclusive Interview with Jesse Lee Keeter, actor in The Anatomy of Monsters

 Jesse Lee Keeter (Z-Nation, Grimm) takes time to talk with Artsploitation Films about his current role as Andrew Costello in the new movie, The Anatomy of Monsters The Anatomy of Monsters available on DVD at Artsploitation Films    What attracted you to the script and your character for The Anatomy of Monsters?  The thing that interested me most about Andrew is his uncertainty. Over the course of the film he's almost always on the ropes, out of his element, and forced to improvise. Initially his biggest conflict is finding the courage to go out and kill somebody. That's not a decision made lightly. There is so much that can go wrong, so many consequences for failure. Not to mention the mental strain involved with the act itself and potential fall out there after, the grief and guilt, the paranoia tied up with getting caught. This is a decision that doesn't go away. So just finding the courage to do it is a hell of a struggle in and of itself. So

Exclusive Interview with Walter Moise, Producer of Counter-Clockwise

Image
1.  What was your inspiration for the story of Counter-Clockwise? A Philip K. Dick short story where a character who's living in a future world walks through an invisible time rift and goes back in time. Then I combined that idea with an idea of making a low budget movie where you could use locations again and again where you setup a character and a world, he went into the future 6 months, a whole crazy 2nd Act where things are dark and dangerous and upside down and then the 3rd Act would be going back to the day it all went wrong and solving everything, or maybe not. 2.  How is this different from other time travel shows, like Back to the Future and Doctor Who? Compared to those works of  sic-fi, ours is much more gritty and dark and weird.  3.  What was the most challenging element of getting Counter-Clockwise made? Of course probably getting the money together but more importantly all of us putting in the hard work over many years. P

Exclusive Interview with George Moise, director of Counter-Clockwise

Artsploitation Interview w/ George Moise, Director of Counter-Clockwise Pre-Order Counter-Clockwise HERE 1.  What was your inspiration for the story of Counter-Clockwise? Well, the inspiration came from Walt. He's a big Philip K. Dick fan and read a short story that inspired him. Instead of a time machine it was like a rift in spacetime where someone walked through it and appeared in the future. I added the time machine, but the core concept of a guy traveling 6 months in the future to a dark upside down world is all Walt.  2.  How is this different from other time travel shows, like Back to the Future and Doctor Who? I've only seen one episode of Dr. Who so I really couldn't comment on it. As far as Back to the Future, in that movie Marty goes back 30 years, in our movie Ethan goes forward 6 months. Also, the creation of time travel is an accident in our movie, whereas Doc worked towards that goal for 30 years.  3.  What was the most cha

Exclusive Interview with Tabitha Bastien (The Anatomy of Monsters)

    1.  What attracted you to the script and your character for The Anatomy of Monsters? I immediately fell in love with the script and how much heart it had.  I read with Conner Marx during the first audition and Jesse Lee Keeter during the callbacks and it just felt so right.  Sarah is one of the most complex characters I've ever had the pleasure of getting to play.  This was like a dream role for me.  There are times when Sarah just wants to be a normal person and fall in love, but she has this darkness inside her that she can't seem to keep quiet.  From an outsider's perspective, she looks like an ordinary girl... but inside is a different story.  People sometimes ask if it was hard for me to go home after playing such a dark character, but it really wasn't because I grabbed on to the other parts of her that were just like me and everybody else.  I tried not to focus on the more "monstrous" parts of her when we weren't filming those scenes, sin

Exclusive Interview w/ Byron C. Miller, Director: The Anatomy of Monsters

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON - THE ANATOMY OF MONSTERS What inspired you to create The Anatomy of Monsters?   It all started 11 years ago. I was a movie theater manager, and one night after the midnight shows had let out I gave one of my stranded employees a ride home. I dropped her off and was heading home, middle of the night, driving through a neighborhood I’d never been in, and this creepy idea hit me. What if I was a serial killer and my MO was to go to a place I’d never been, randomly pick a house, grab whatever weapon was lying around and use it to murder everyone inside. As that creep nugget gestated I was listening to the Ladytron album “Witching Hour” and kept getting this specific image of a woman. She was a DJ in LA, and a serial killer. I had all of these ideas about her life, and the flashback, Permanent Midnight style flashback structure. I had a lot of notes and ideas but it wasn’t a complete story. So I put it away until, fast forward a few years. I’m li
