Why is it so surprising what a quality eye for visual aesthetics director David Slade has? Especially with his two gorgeously executed films, Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night, I should be shrugging it off as just another obvious talent. But the thing is, he is so good at still photography that it excites me for all and any future work of his. He surely is, to me, a fresh new face in film directing today. Something I feel we always need in the watered-down crap that is passed off as films in modern Hollywood. And in case you missed my disappointed rant on the new Twilight film, let me just demonstrate with an excerpt that helps to explain exactly what I think of Slade:
"And the only thing that keeps me hoping for a better Twilight Saga future is the up and coming director David Slade. His only two films, Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night scream amazing auteur ability, and his dedication and absolute artistic ability in everything that is visual (see his twitter page for amazing candid still photos) secure a place for him in film history…and hopefully Twilight fans around the globe."
Yeah, my appreciation for Slade is THAT serious. So here is a preview of his ability.
