DOCTOR FATE AND THE CRAWLING CHAOS

DR. FATE AND THE CRAWLING CHAOS - Some of you may remember Director Gary Lobstein for his Hulk Fan Film Hulk-Aftermath. This time around Mr.Lobstein takes a crack at the DC Universe with Dr. Fate And The Crawling Chaos, a film inspired by the work's of H.P.Lovecraft. In the film a young college student named Jason goes missing when He sets out to find an ancient book, powerful enough to summon Gods and unleash unspeakable evil. The missing man's family request the good doctor's help in finding their loved one. Realizing the devistation the book could cause in the wrong hands Fate takes the case. Using His magic, Fate manages to locate the young man in an abandonned storage facility. Already possesed by the books ancient spells of evil, Jason lays in waiting with more than enough power to match the mighty Dr.Fate. This short marks the first appearance of Doctor Fate in his very own Fan Film, and it's pretty darn good to boot. The storyline is simple, but perfect for introducing Dr. Fate to an audience otherwise unfamiliar with the character. John Dedeke stars as Fate in the film along with Lobstein himself as Jason. Fate's costume is not exactly the spitting image of what you see in the pages of DC Comics, but it looks good on film. Spandex probably wouldn't allow you to take the character very seriously. Instead, Lobstein decides to go with a look closer to Marvel's Master Of The Mystic Arts, Doctor Strange. Fate's helmet, provided by the good people of westerfieldstudios.com, looks fantatstic! That's important, because when you think of Doctor Fate the first thing that comes to mind is usually the helmet. Other noteworthy things in the film include it's nicely handeled use of special effects, and a cliffhanger type conclusion reminiscent of an old Republic Pictures serial. To sum up, this film has a nice multi-genre flavor sure to please a wide range of viewers, and certainly serves as a worthy debut for Doctor Fate in an ever expanding Fan Film community.
