Writer/director Glenn McQuaid has crafted a superbly atmospheric piece with his debut production, The Resurrection Apprentice. What unfolds in its 13 fleeting minutes is a stylish "Hammer-esque" tale of redemption set against the dark world of grave robbing. McQuaid has the eye of an artist and this macabre tale has real moments of beauty and is accompanied with a soundtrack that belongs in it's time. What really made it for me was the boy, Daniel Manche, with a performance far beyond his years and definitely a name to look out for in the future. A skilfully told story well directed by McQuaid, who I would assume will next return at the reigns of a feature length production.
