In any case, Scrawl is a highly original work that for me stands out in the crowded horror marketplace today. Hearn has described Scrawl as ‘ Big meets A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3 – Dream Warriors‘, which now I’ve thought about it is fairly apt, though I have to say it didn’t really occur to me when I watched the film. I suppose it’s a shame that this version wasn’t the one first publically shown, but there was still certainly a pretty decent movie in there, and now we finally have it. The first cut dragged somewhat around the middle which didn’t seem to suit this particular story, but this re-edit, though I don’t remember exactly which particular scenes are now missing, re-edited or moved around, certainly moves quite a bit faster, giving some urgency to the race to stop a massacre which I don’t remember it having before. Now I certainly don’t remember everything that has been changed, but the film seems so much smoother now while still not loosing that raw indie feel. Much time has been spent fine tuning the film, which admittedly was a little rough, especially with regard to its sound. It was actually over a year ago that I first had the pleasure of viewing writer/director Peter Hearn’s Scrawl, a microbudget independent production which is the product of collaboration between industry professionals and in-training actors and technicians of Andover College, though Mr Hearn wasn’t totally satisfied with the cut of the film that premiered at the Lights Theatre, so I opted not to review it then. Simon and Joe must try to prevent a bloody massacre in the woods that evening that occurs on page 21, but where do Annie, who has a very strange way with a camera, and a creepy floor of an apartment building populated by monsters, fit in?…. The comic is a horrific nature, which is something of a problem when a murder on a beach means that events from the comic book are starting to happen for real. Loners Simon and Joe have written a comic book featuring characters from their daily lives.
