This short film ,at 17mins, did more in suspense then the whole Mel Gibson film "Signs". Ma n what a twist ending! This is the way that film should have been filmed. With Mel being the grown up 'Edward'. Gibson has the intensity to look like he is crazed and that no one would believe him in the present day.And that no one would believe him that something fell from the sky so many years ago and his father buried it and kept it hushed all these years. It would have been a fantastic story line and film for Gibson. And as the father I would have had Michael Rooker. In fact, I thought it was Rooker when I saw this film! This actor Henry Nixon has the same creepy look and intensity of a young Rooker. I hope these two actors work one day together because they look so alike.
This little short film really had me at the edge of my seat in suspense. And the fact that they used the same farm that was used in the Superman movie made it very unique. A real 1950's/60's look and feel about it. Especially with 'Alien' paranoia at the time.And you can't really tell it's Australia at all passing for the Midwest.
All in all I look forward to seeing more of Josh Tanner's work. I would go watch his film at the theater in a heartbeat! Let's hope Hollywood takes notice of this talented Director/Writer and put him to good use.
