I was with a group of students at the screening of EXECUTION when it played on the campus of Southern Illinois University in late February. The electricity in the theater before the film started was amazing. Everyone was silent and it was an eerie feeling because everyone knew what the film was about. We all knew that we were going to see a film where in the end a man or should I say killer was going to be executed in the electric chair. No M. Night Shamalan cheesy twist here - just solid story telling from the beginning to the end. The feeling was the same feeling you get before a roller coaster ride - it was amazing. Once the film starts it grabs you from the opening scene. By the time you get to the last 20 minutes or so, you have been taken on a ride where you have experienced every possible emotion. There are scenes that shock you and scenes that make you question your beliefs. Finally, when you get to the last part of the film and you think you know everything, that's where you are shocked and it hits you like a ton of bricks at the end. I was surprised at how many people just sat in their seats after the copyright and just stared at the dark screen. I don't think one person left during the credits which is amazing today when everyone walks out of most films the moment the first credit hits the screen. Everyone who was there stayed around and talked with the director who was nice to enough to answer most every question. The one question he would not answer was how he obtained this incredible footage. After the screening we all went to the local coffeehouse and talked about the film for hours. Since that time we have been to the film's website and IMDb and have read the many comments people have posted about this movie. The film is now playing at some colleges around the country with Tulane next on the list. If the screening is anything like it was on our campus it will definitely affect a lot of people. We all give the film and the people who made it huge kudos for telling a story that is 100% unique and not some rip-off of any other movies. Long live the real independent filmmakers of the world.
