10/10
Hollywood is the vampire.
13 December 2020
From the outset, I was taken aback by how deeply personal and incredibly revealing this esoteric film turned out to be. One has to be extraordinarily brave to venture down roads so many of us try to forget ever existed.

I found the writing, in the form of the subject's observations and deductions into the evil entity, to be very thought provoking, even memory inducing - dark memories.

There are many solid, emotionally jarring performances by, to name a few, Denise Blasor, Janet Chamberlain and, of course, Juliet - particularly in her sorrowful appeal.

The film has many layers. My personal interpretation; at its core, is that Hollywood, in its ability, its unwavering success at capturing people amidst their most beautiful and alluring stages of life and suspending them forever in celluloid, is the cloaked vampire of our time.

"A Place Among the Dead," so aptly titled, is a horror story told from the soul, and set in the very town that devoured it.

Bravo.
