Copperhead Road (2005)
No good.
Copperhead road is, to say the least, mundane. Ian Ogden's attempt to portray raw emotion is underwhelming. I saw this film in a local festival in New York. The audience's reaction was positive, however most of America also enjoyed Spider man, so it is purely subjective. In any case, the only saving grace to this film is the cinematography, which is also rather trite and unsubtle with it's use of deep colors, and obvious camera angles. The sound mix is below par...which is common among short films, and excusable. The point of a short film is not to show production quality, but to show an idea that has not yet been presented. This film seemed underdeveloped on the writing side and relied on the topic of sexual violation to sell it. Copperhead road, in my humble view is the product of film student...not a filmmaker.
