Two new clips from ‘Excision’ make use of guest stars
Richard Bates Jr. found quite a bit of acclaim with his short film Excision in 2008, going so far as to garner special mention from the horror jury at Austin Fantastic Fest. Four years later, Bates Jr. is making his feature film writing and directing debut by expanding the story of Excision. AnnaLynne McCord takes over the lead role from Tessa Ferrer, with Ariel Winter, Traci Lords, and Roger Bart filling out the main cast, and cameos from Matthew Gray Gubler, Marlee Matlin, Matthew Fahey, Malcolm McDowell, Jeremy Sumpter, Ray Wise, and John Waters. Two new clips highlighting the roles of the latter two have now been released, and can be seen below.For those further interested in the film, SOS contributor Michael Ryan and SOS editor Ricky were able to see the movie at Fantasia 2012; Michael Ryan’s review can be read here, and Ricky’s review can be read here.
There was once a time when I thought Scarface was the best movie ever made, and Home Improvement was appointment television for me. While I still have a soft spot for both, those days of naivete are long behind me, as I’ve subsequently managed to broaden my horizons. Ambition is the most important part of a movie for me; if it tries to do something unique, tell a well-worn story in a different way, or take on large themes in a honest manner, I can forgive many flaws. If there’s one movie fact I’ve learnt after all these years, it’s that Employee of The Month is to Office Space what fast food is to fresh fruit.
