Ash

Shockingly horrible concept for a film that tricks you into sympathizing with a pedophile while also convincing you that he is "really a good guy." The whole film hinges around a sick belief that people with OCD can't help themselves from giving into the urge to harass children online. Fantastic acting wasted on a sick concept. In this day and age we don't need movies where sex offenders are the heroes, thanks.

While the synthesizer that accompanies this music is not bad in itself, its overuse ruins the mood and causes irritation to the point of distraction. Besides, it's a dated sound, reminding me of horrible 80's flicks. Huculiak does deserves praise for giving us a decent movie under a strict budget. It's an especially timely film, reflecting BC's fire issues as a background to the foreground drama.

The small team indie filmmakers from Canada, known mostly for their music videos and the critically acclaimed, though, unfortunately, little known art indie drama "Violent" returns with "Ash", and again recaptures the magic that made Violent the exceptional film that it is. "Ash" is one of the best films I've ever seen.
