DVD Silver Clutch

Silver Clutch in my opinion doesn't remind me of the "Godfather" as its used in the tagline, but actually is more of an adult version of Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" but a lot lower of a budget. The movie has its goods and bads. I gave this an 8 out of 10 based on effort and the fact I actually enjoyed a few actors in this movie. The story is nothing new with a dragged out love story that seems to be a confused version of Edward and Bella in Twilight. The movie opens with a really cool flashback in the 1800's that fades from black and white to color. 2 men approach a women and young boy..one happens to be a vampire that's really thirsty killing off the women and boy within the first few minutes of the film. After this happens the movie goes to present time and the story moves pretty fast paced with a nice score. What helped and hurt this movie was lack of talent and poor Filmography. I truly enjoyed Cezar, who in my opinion..Stole the show..Superb acting from David Scott Diaz who is in Touchback with Kurt Russell. Brad Watts "Desmond" who has numerous short film credits and Richard Raphael "Dante" who has a nice credit list as well, also made this little flick fun to watch. What I agree with in previous reviews and most would after the movie was premiered is that the female leads were off beat and awful the entire movie and should not have been cast, including Scott Goudie who cannot act to save his life. This story wasn't original but it worked and was the most intriguing and enjoyable aspect of Silver Clutch. Id rent it and hope it gets a national DVD release.

While in Grand Rapids visiting family and friends I was able to sneak into the premiere of this movie a few months back. I love Indie films that truly have heart. The story of "Silver Clutch" did just that. Cezar played by "David Scott Diaz" really showcased why he is meant to be acting on the bigger screen and without him I would have not given this a movie a 9. I agree with previous reviews that he carried this film. I wont say he's the only talent, I really liked Sonya played by "Lo Maslanka" and felt she should of been the female lead..not saying the other wasn't good "Marjorie Yost" but I felt her acting was poor and just wasn't believable. I also loved Lorenzo's witty humor and Dante's character played by "Richard Raphael" The lows of this film happened to reoccurr more than hoped, Starting with "Scott Goudie's" role as Zarek and "Dominic Gabriel" as Nicholas. I had hoped the director would have limited there screen time but these guys were HORRIBLE. Had these 2 been replaced with better talent this movie would have had a chance at horror fest and possible direct to DVD distribution. Anyhow, I still found the movie enjoyable to watch despite the negatives. It truly moves fast and has a good score to creep you out. The story by "Kay Bouma" isn't original to a very familiar "TWILIGHT" 😉 but does have heart. Nice work Kay.
