Review of Dark Heaven

Dark Heaven (2002)
9/10
AVANT-GARDE GEM
10 October 2004
I saw DARK HEAVEN when it premiered at the 13TH FESTIVAL OF FANTASTIC FILMS in Manchester, England - it was rightfully given a Jury Award. What a refreshing yet creepy story. I was waiting for the DVD release and must say that I was impressed. Writer, Director Douglas Schulze has made a very personal film while managing to appeal to the Avant-Garde Horror crowd. You definitely need to bring your brain to this viewing but I guarantee the ride is worth it. This film has been given a major release by indy studio THINKFILM the guys behind the Academy Award nominated SPELLBBOUND and DANGEROUS LIVES OF ALTAR BOYS and it's at BLOCKBUSTER VIDEOS across the nation. SEE THIS FILM. SEE IT A FEW TIMES. The mood is infectious. The film is not without flaw but for it's limited budget it achieves wonders. The negative comments I've read seem highly judgmental and suspiciously jaded. DARK HEAVEN 2?
