So many movies ... so little time ...
If the last two decades have taught audiences anything, then it might be that Superhero films can take many shapes and sizes. From the ordinary to the extraordinary, viewers have been tempted and teased with an incredible number of variations of what good and evil might look like -- both in spandex and beyond -- and this subgenre definitely has the fuel to continue burning for years to come ... though I suspect the folks at Marvel might currently suggest otherwise.
In any event ...
On this day in 2014 (in the United Kingdom), audiences of the Glasgow Fright Fest -- a festival showcasing the latest genre entries held annually in Glasgow, Scotland -- were treated to the theatrical debut of The Scribbler.
Directed by John Suits from a story by Dan Schaffer, the Superhero/Fantasy starred Katie Cassidy, Garret Dillahunt, Michelle Trachtenberg, Eliza Dushku, Michael Imperioli, Billy Campbell, Gina Gershon, Sasha Grey, Kunal Nayyar, Ashlynn Yennie, and others. Here's the film's premise as provided by our good friends at IMDB.com:
"THE SCRIBBLER follows Suki (Katie Cassidy), a young woman confronting her destructive mental illness using "The Siamese Burn," an experimental machine designed to eliminate multiple personalities. The closer Suki comes to being "cured," she's haunted by a thought - what if the last unwanted identity turns out to be her?"
I have seen this one -- I'm certain I received a complimentary DVD of it back during the film's original promotional push on home video -- but I don't recall anything specifically. I'll have to hit the archives this weekend, see if I can locate it, and recover my thoughts for SciFiHistory.Net's MainPage.
In the meantime, I'm posting the theatrical trailer from YouTube.com for readers. You know what to do about that.
As always, thanks for reading ... thanks for sharing ... thanks for being a fan ... and live long and prosper!
