Dj said that MZ wanted to be the first to review Deadlands 2: Trapped & lo & behold he does beat me to it !!! Nothing wrong with that since MZ is far more capable of a legitimate review than I & being a filmmaker himself can speak to issues that I'm not really capable of addressing  .
Firstly, let me say that it was great meeting DJ in person at the Queens International Film Festival & showing him the support he deserves for his great work !! He's a very fun guy to be around & it's great to see the enthusiasm he has for his work. He was dead tired from this entire run of Deadlands 2: Trapped but was still happy to meet someone from HPotD & treated me as if we've known each other for a long while.
Also, getting to meet DJ's first AD Lonnie & his wife Cindy (Helena) was a pleasure as well. Seeing the film with all of them as well as a few other people that were in the film made it that much more enjoyable. It's easy to wish success on people who are talented but it makes it that much more satifying to wish that success on people who are talented & also good people. I wish them all nothing but success & because of their work I think it will come to them.
On to the film  . I really, really enjoyed the film !! You can read MZ's review for the more technical aspects but coming from just a normal everyday fan, the film was a winner.
As with MZ, I was a big pro-ponent of Deadlands: The Rising & this film goes above & beyond DJ's first offereing in every way. It was great to see the progression & can't want to see how much better DJ gets in the future  .
MZ wrote of very nice review so you should all read it. I will add my 2 cents in saying that I could find little fault with the film.
I thought the performences by the cast were great with special props to Jim Krut. He played a great "dirtbag" kind of character . I told DJ that I thought the best performace by one of his actors was by the little girl (not sure of her name) !!! 7 years old & she was great !!
As with Deadlands: The Rising, the music in Deadlands 2: Trapped was awesome !! The end credits song was perfect !!
The make up & special effects were outstanding. Those guys from Spaghetti Industries did an excellent, excellent job !!
While not a fan of sprinters, they work well within DJ's films . As with MZ, they are the only sprinter films I really enjoy alot.
I don't know what else to add that I haven't put down or that MZ didn't touch on in his review.
What I can add is that I don't think anyone here will be disappointed in any way by Deadlands 2: Trapped !!! I know I'll be getting is as soon as it's available on DVD & happily adding it to my collection & will be very happy to show it to anyone when showing what a good zombie flick is all about .
Again, I just want to say it was great seeing the screening of Deadlands 2: Trapped & meeting those involved in person. Especially DJ, Lonnie & Cindy.
Wishing much success on them all !!!!
Also DJ, you may want to ask Neil or Andy to move this to a "News Story" so that it will get more views .
