Wake Before I Die (2011)
Intelligent, thoughtful Movie with Noir overtones
A fascinating expose of morés in a small town - where religious convictions and the congregation members are never what they seem. Superb acting by an Oregon based ensemble and quality production values by a local Portland crew give this production a veneer that the producers - and financiers - should be proud of. Congratulations for a thoroughly entertaining evening. Special regard should be made for the lead performance of the Pastor (Robert McKeehen) and his sympathetic, level headed wife (Audrey Walker) while Michael Prosser gives that delicious creepiness to Ethan Evans, initially thought to be the bad guy, yet really the fall guy. Robert Blanche provides that understated, demonic twist. Newcomer Nouel Riel (soon to be seen in a great little flick "Did You Kiss Anyone") is excellent as the confused teenager, and focus of the cult. While naming names, Writer/Director/Cinematographer Brother class-act Jason and Todd Freeman meld a terrific cast and fine performances.
