THE SPIRIT- Brought to you by Director, Michael Dilorenzo, And A So Amateur It Hurts/Lake Joint Productions, The Spirit, is a fun little black and white Fan Film in the same vein as early films by Don Glut. Sure the kid playing The Spirit is a bit young, and the dialogue is a bit flat at times, but all of that can be overlooked when you see the short for what it really is, a tribute to Eisner's iconic creation that has just enough heart to get the job done. Right from the opening shot of the Spirit laying unconscious on a bed of leaves, the feel of the classic strip is present. I will also add on extra points for just the right ammount of fisticuffs and witty humor. Some of the Pulpy/Noir dialogue could have easily come from the pen of Mr. Eisner, that really stood out to me. The film itself, and the style in which it is filmed screams Camp, but in a good way. Consider Ed Wood directing a Republic Serial and you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about. So check this little film out and come to your own conclusion, Mine? I had fun. Check out the film HERE.
