This short film by Director Chris Notarile and Blinky Productions takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear, but not quite...
The plot of the film is simple, three bungling thieves break into a remote location to steal some bearer bonds when they are surprised by The Shadow.
Although the film is quite short it is not the time or simplicity of the plot that matters here, it's the overall quality of the film and it's impression on the viewer.
This film has a grip on you right from the start, with it's colorful lighting, eerie ambiance, and creeping suspense that would make Hitchcock proud, the Shadow is a truly faithful portrayl of the Golden Age anti-hero.
The film takes place in the present, bringing Howard Chaykin's run on The Shadow comics of the 1980's to mind, but dosen't stray to far from it's pulp roots. The appearance of the character in the film is handeled the way it should be. The Shadow is rarely seen, and when he is he's shrouded in smoke and shadows.
Top it all off with a creepy laugh, and menacing voice, and youv'e got yourself a great Fan Film.
Watch below to see what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
