Go see this film!
by Jace1013 on 3/10/11Harris Theater - ChicagoKevin Smith brought his latest film with him to Chicago for an early screening and followed it with a Q&A afterwards. I'm a long time Smith fan and I have to say this is my favorite film he has done. It's so unlike his other work that if you saw the film without credits you wouldn't know it was his. I don't want to comment too much on the film itself since it doesn't get a wide release until October and spoiling it would make your experience less exciting. When Kevin says this is a horror movie, he's right but it's not a horror movie by today's standards. It's part horror part thriller. The people in the film believe everything they say and do is 100% right and that is were the horror lies. Knowing these people could actually exist in this world is pretty damn scary. Kevin's Q&A afterwards was a nice counter balance to the film. The film goes to dark places fast and doesn't let up, so when Kevin came out and answered our questions while throwing in jokes it really helped lighten the mood for everyone. Kevin is just a nice guy that he had no problem answering even the zaniest questions. If you get a chance to see him live with or without this movie, do it. I personally can't wait for October so I can see this again. Kevin is releasing it himself without help from major studios. It's a big undertaking but this movie stands on it's own and is worth the price of admission
