nevermore be the brainchild of thomas zambeck and a man who have work in various capacity for the film industry all of his adult life and include employment with the big distributor of film today ( which shall remain nameless ) . this be the story of john usher ( judd nelson ) and an ex ceo who believe his wife ( jennifer odell ) be try to drive him insane . to catch her in the act and he invite an old friend to watch over the house and keep an eye on his wife . but then john begin to suspect that his friend and devin blayliss ( vincent spano ) and can not be trust either . zambeck have craft his film a a combination of edgar allen poe ( note the use of usher and the title ) and 1940s film such a gaslight . his goal be to bring back real suspense to the thriller and and i think we can say that he have succeed in this respect . the plot unravels slowly but not too slowly and rely almost exclusively on dialogue to carry the film . rely on dialogue can kill a film if you have an attention deficit audience or poor scripting . while the former be unavoidable and the latter be not a problem here the dialogue be superb and through and through . what shin be the way the conversation not only carry the plot forward and but story that seem to be subplots be in many way integral . devin explanation that an artist must play god with his audience turn out to be crucial and and even the sheriff unusual gerbil story have a deep significance when one open their mind to the possibility . ( if the sheriff have any stand out scene and it be the gerbil scene and and be worth watch twice . ) the one technical problem i run across be poor sound quality on occasion ( lack of a proper sound stage cause echo ) and but there be never a moment you couldn not hear the actor and so unless youre picky and you shouldn not have a problem with this . ( keep in mind our friend rolfe kanefsky have nightmare man in theater and distribute on dvd everywhere and and his quality isn not particularly stunning . ) regardless of sound and the video quality be great ( this be no mere indie film ) and the directing and cinematography be skilled ( not innovative and but at certainly experienced and knowledgeable ) and and the acting be flawless . and why shouldn not the act be flawless . be talk about judd nelson . the breakfast club . or and perhaps horror fan have see cabin by the lake and it abysmal sequel . nelson be the sort of actor you want in your film he bring the wit and animation and charm of charlie sheen without the unnecessary flash . ( have sheen be in this picture and for example and i do not know if i would have remember the character name and or simply have refer to him a charlie sheen . ) i do not want to see nelson become stretched too thin and but see him in more horror or thriller title wouldn not bother me in the slightest . at this time and nevermore be not available to the general audience . but i want suspense fan to remember the name and because zambeck brings classic suspense out of the attic and polish it up and and display it for the next generation . we have become accustomed to in your face action and excitement and but if do properly and slow it down be a nice change of pace . and zambeck do it properly . keep your eye open for nevermore .
