PURGATRORY HOUSE chronicles the after-life journey of a lonely teen who abandoned her life of peer pressure only to find herself caught between Heaven and Hell. Here she will remain 14-years-old forever unless she can find within herself the courage to change. Filmed in 2001 with miniDV cameras and edited on early home-based computers, "Purgatory House" marked the beginning of the democratization of film. Written by and starring a 14-year-old at-risk high school student, Celeste Davis was the [then] first youngest sole-credited feature screenwriter to have a feature distributed.
Leave your thoughts about Purgatory House.
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersThe names of Cindy Baer and Celeste Davis belong on the V.I.P. list of promising new filmmakers |
| Film ThreatEric CamposA charming, touching, clever and all-around brilliantly crafted film about teen suicide. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergA fairly compelling movie, but when one realizes that the screenplay was penned by a 14-year-old gal...it adds a whole new perspective to all the angst being tossed around. |
| Filmcritic.comNorm SchragerThere's a lack of polish and, more importantly, an uninhibited demeanor to Davis's script which work well for the subject matter |
| User ReviewKayleigh SIt's a movie that makes you think. I enjoyed it a lot. |
| User ReviewC BLoved it! I really related to this movie. |
| User ReviewSarah MI LOOOOOOVE this movie!! Its mii favorite movie ever!! |
| User Reviewkyle cthe best mooovie i have ever seen in my life |
| User ReviewJayla C[font=Century Gothic][size=4][color=purple]I loved this movie. It was full of teenage angst and depression. It was heartfelt in a way that has not yet been expressed before. It was real, yet unreal at the same time. If I were a critic I would give this mmovie a five-star rating. I was shocked to find out that a fourteen year old girl wrote this. Well, on second thought, I wasn't really. Who else can relate to what teenagers think and feel, like a teenager can? I think this movie was GREAT! I can't talk about it enough. My friend Aubrey is the one who invited me over to watch it. And I need to remember to thank her when I see her! It was awesome! Absolutely brilliant. Lolz! Ok i'm done![/color][/size][/font] |
| User ReviewJames H[font=Arial][size=4][color=#000000]HALFWAY HOUSE OF THE HEREAFTER HOME RUN [/color][/size][/font][font=Arial]by Ellen Sherman Watching Purgatory House is somewhat akin to experiencing a summer thunderstorm, with all the attendant darkness, light, ending in a rainbow of hope. Hope is a good ending for a film about teenage suicide written by a fourteen year old. Writer Celeste Marie Davis also plays the lead, Silver Strand, and convincingly gives us a portal into the confusing and pressure ridden world of a teen age girl in an atmosphere totally devoid of adult sensibilities. After committing suicide, Strand finds that life, or afterlife, keeps going on with the same repetitive monotony. Strand?s attempt at escape from her life has brought her to a sort of half way house of the hereafter. The cast includes Jim Hanks who plays both God, and the saint that runs the house where self enlightenment is taught to the wayward teens using highly unorthodox methods. Ultimately its the quality of the acting and the special effects that pull the audience deep into the story almost from the beginning. The message of the film is hope; hope for teenagers, hope for parents, and hope for young writers. The sold out World Premier at The 2003 Woodstock Independent Film Festival, and the audience?s overwhelming positive response gave director Cindy Baer hope as well. [/font][font=Times New Roman]"I had told Celeste that we would make a five minute video that she could star in, but after typing it into proper script format, I knew her story had to be told in it?s entirety." [/font][font=Arial]Baer said. Davis and Baer were paired in the Big Sisters of Los Angeles program in 1997, when Davis was only 11. "I was an actress and she was a writer, so they put us together and its been a great experience." Baer said. Purgatory House expects to find distribution shortly following its West Coast premier. This is a film that stays with you long after you see it because it is such a departure from anything that has been done before. Watching Purgatory House is to experience what audiences must have felt in 1939 seeing The Wizard of Oz for the first time. [/font] |
