Is it a murder/mystery, or a black comedy?,

This review is from: Trapped (DVD)
As a producer on this film, I have a unique perspective. I knew the script, I saw the film being shot, and I watched pieces of the editing process. However, it wasn't until we screened the film for an audience that I really got a feeling for the film. The script read like a murder mystery, but as the film played out on screen - there were a number of scenes where the audience ended up laughing. That's when I realized that although meant to be a murder/mystery type of film, it comes across more like a black comedy.
There are some great one liners in the film. 1) Where were you yesterday morning? Wait a minute, it's coming back to me now....I was in bed....with your mother. 2) I've been doing this long enough, that I can smell a murderer, and Mr....You Stink! 3) Sorry? I think we're a little late for sorry! - look at her, she's dead! When I watch the film in it's entirety, I'm reminded of other black comedy films, such as "The Ice Harvest" with John Cusack and "Fargo". Give it a try, and all of us at Winter Morning Pictures hope that you enjoy it! Mike Hamilton

This review is from: Trapped (DVD)
Yet another local film company is making the case that good films can be made in our own backyard.
"Trapped," the first feature-length film from Winter Morning Pictures, premiered Sunday at the SouthSide Works Cinema. Fans of quirky murder-gone-wrong films in the "Fargo" tradition might want to catch the film when it's available on dvd. Winter Morning Pictures shoots films using local talent, crew and locations. "Trapped," a noir thriller with a body count nearly as high as local taxes, was shot in Aspinwall, Fox Chapel, Edgewood and Regent Square. The only Hollywood import of note is Corbin Bernsen, who plays a millionaire businessman murdered by his unfaithful wife (Dana Hardy) and his business partner Ty (Tony Bingham). Naturally, not everything goes according to plan, and paranoia, double-crosses, blackmail and more killings ensue. Aspinwall resident Gavin Rapp, formed Winter Morning Pictures with partners Ron Hankison, Mike Hamilton, Jim Hamilton and Jay Mangold. Rapp co-directed and co-wrote the script with Hankinson. During a post-screening talk Sunday, Rapp said the characters in the film are an amalgam of people he's known -- a scary notion, because two of the most colorful characters are the murderous Liam, played by bald, hulking Jeff Carpenter, and thrill-seeking ingénue Mandy, played by Alexandra Cherney. While "Trapped" can't avoid some predictable stock characters, the acting is mostly solid. Tom Atkins has fun with the role of a flinty detective, while cinematographer Rich Schutte infuses clarity and pop to each bridge, skyline and street. Not bad for the first time feature film makers- Winter Morning Pictures.
