WATCHMEN - PG .5

WATCHMEN PG.5 - Literally bringing page five of Alan Moore's Watchmen to life, Watchmen Pg.5 is a word for word adaptation of the now infamous page from the legendary graphic novel. The short stars one of the books most popular characters, Rorschach. This Fan Film is quite short, but that's just fine. after all, this is a film based on one page from a comic book, we're not talkin', War And Peace here.. Visually the film is a dynamo. With awesome camera work, a groovy digital backdrop, and a Pulp Noir feel, just perfect for Mr. Rorschach, this is probably the most faithful Fan Film adaptation of The Watchmen that I've seen to date. The only gripe i have with the film, and i mean iddy biddy, is that Rorschach's voice is rather normal. Sure he sounds tough and gritty, like a private dick from days gone by, no problem with that, but the character is mentally deranged, Maybe making the tone of his voice a little scarier and unhinged would have done it for me. Otherwise, no complaints here. The film pretty much follows Alan Moore's script for the book verbatim, but there is also some original dialouge added by the filmmakers for good meausure.

This is, simply, a great little Fan Film that should command repeated viewings. As a final note, a little nugget of trivia.. I just discovered this film was made by a High School senior for his final project, In the great words of Peter Griffin, "Holy crap!"

Color me extremely impressed. So check it out for yourselves and enjoy! Click HERE for the film.
