Experiment 7 Screening - Tampa Bay Film Updates. Review Policy Revealed.
Sunday, March 14, 2010 - 3:34 AM - Tampa Indie Film Log for Filmmaker C. A. Passinault
I Saw Experiment 7, And It Was Disturbing; Just Not For The Reasons Intended.
Oh, my. I didn't
have a great time tonight. I decided to go see the Tampa premier of Experiment
7 at
Channelside, and found serious issues with Channelside, the film festival,
and the film. I'll go on record saying, for now, that in my opinion, the
film festival and the film were, perhaps, the worst that I've experienced
since I began covering Tampa film. The film festival was unorganized,
with conflicts from other events at Channelside. The film, too, was a
mixed bag, with the most schizophrenic characterization in any film that
I've ever seen, no exposition to set up a foundation for the characters,
and a fragmented expositional arc; the screenplay itself was the prime
culprit, and it should have never been filmed as it was. In my
opinion, if this is the future of independent film in Tampa, then we don't
have a future. My reviews are not going to be popular, but since
no one else is telling it how it is, I have a responsibility to publish
comprehensive reviews without bias. It's just going to take me a few days
to write the reviews. I actually regret spending the time and money going
to see this tonight, and the only highlights which took the edge off were
the cool people who I met and talked with. Many of those people echoed
my opinions, too. In my opinion, Experiment 7 (and indie
films like it) is an insult to the talented people on the crew, the actors
who acted in it, the film festival which decided to screen it, and the
audience who had to endure it. Joe, you should be ashamed of
yourself! I'll even go on record saying that the characterization in The
Web Of Darkness was better, and that's saying a lot. For a film with
few redeeming qualities, I no longer have any intentions of buying the
DVD, used, off of Amazon, and even if it were given to me, I'd never play
it. I think that it is a bad film; films like Hard Rock Zombies
may be bad films, too (and, technically, Hard Rock Zombies is
a worse film than Experiment 7), but at least they are fun to
watch, and have entertainment value. Experiment 7 did not entertain
me, and it proved to be a chore to watch; I felt ripped off paying to
see this film, and would have felt the same way if the screening was free,
too. I'll explain more, later.
Stand by for a series of reviews, but don't take my word for it. If anyone disagrees with my opinions, I simply encourage you to see the film for yourself, that is, if you dare.
