Thanks for the extensive comment, Chris. I haven’t been able to see the film myself, but when I can I’ll be checking it out. Obviously many enjoyed it more than you did, which is of course the nature of the film-going experience.

I saw Spike this weekend at Shriekfest in Los Angeles. Having been involved in low budget productions, I know how difficult it can be to bring the collective creative efforts of writers, directors, actors and editors to fruition. While I applaud the apparent intent and ideas of Mr. Beaucage, I found the finished movie to be awkward, tiresome and ultimately so frustratingly bad that I can not in good conscience recommend it to anyone. I really wanted to like this film. On the positive side, the creature design and effects were very well done and the actual camera work was good. Unfortunately, this was not enough to make the movie work. Every so often there was a glimmer of non-awfulness, but mostly the wooden performances, asinine plot and the excruciating dialogue combined to make the movie very hard to sit through. It was neither fun nor involving. Some reviewers have compared Spike to a David Lynch or Guillermo del Toro movie. That is unfortunate, since it implies that Mr. Beaucage has created interesting characters and a plot worth contemplating. This is not the case. Ultimately, Spike was so annoying, it wasn’t even possible for me to enjoy it as a bad movie.

The film is ‘odd’ and ‘awkward’ to say the least, but I love it when an actor turns in a great performance while in tuns of prosthetic make-up. Robert John Burke as the ‘Beast’ is fantastic. Right up there with Willem DaFoe in “Shadow Of The Vampire”-my favorite actor performance.

“No Such Thing”? I hadn’t heard of it. But I looked it up. Icelandic, eh? Looks interesting, Avery. I’ll have to chase that one up.

I’m very anxious to see the entire look of the creature. That glimpse in the pic has really peeked my interest. The story sounds great as well…sort of a ‘Beauty And The Beast’ tale. Kind of reminds me of “No Such Thing”[2002].
