THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO
A FILM BY SHATTER FILMS
STATUS-COMPLETE
THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO-Taken directly from the pages of Alan Moore and
Dave Gibbons Comic masterpeice, The Watchmen, The Abyss Gazes Also, provides a live-action adaptation of the
psychiatric evaluation of Rorschach, conducted by Dr. Malcom Long. The film's script follows the comic text word
for word, but that's not necessarily an issue, it's how you put that story to good use, that's what counts. This film
does just that. Shot in black and white, the look of the film immediately sets the gloomy backdrop for this
suspense laden thriller. The mental game of tennis between Dr. Long and Rorschach is a true nailbiter. Rorschach (played by
Kyle Salhany) is genuinely creepy, with his monotone voice, and stone cold countenance( Salhany) hits the bullseye and
serves up an noteworthy portrayl of the demented vigilante. The film features nighmarish flashback sequences of Rorschachs
vigilante exploits. Brought to life via semi-animated panels straight from the graphic novel, the sights and sounds are
unnerving, giving us a convincing look into the mind of a madman. (Michael Smyth) who portrays Dr.Long in the film is the
perfect ying to (Salhany's) yang. Straight-laced and cowardly, Long squirms in his chair finding himself trapped in the black
hole that is Rorschachs hollow soul. This is one of the best Watchmen films I have viewed recently, And I highly reccommend
checking it out. This film is brought to you by Jesse Rath, Monty Bernardi, and the good folks of Shatter Films. Click HERE to please your eyeballs...
