Almost 40 years in the making, DAMNATION (89min)
is a psychological thriller with crime and horror elements.
Pivoting between interwoven timelines, one actually shot in 1988
on 16mm and the other in 2024 on 8K, unified by Scot Colford's
riveting lead performance as Matthew Stengler, with support from actor/musician Eric Purtle as his confidant Frankie in both eras.
Nina Pilar portrays Valerie Donahue, an enraged young woman
on a mission of vengeance. She is mirrored in the past by
Gyn Cameron, founder of the pioneering industrial band
Dementia Precox, as stylish psychopath Stephen Stengler.
Writer/Director Michael Capone's feature debut excavates his past
to resurrect this disturbing, genre-bending, decidedly analog saga
of sin, guilt and redemption.
