What did you do?
Writer / Director Michael Capone's DAMNATION (89min)
is a genre-warping crime thriller unfolding (and shot) in dual timelines; stylistically bold, thematically rich and truly unique.
Pivoting between a recent past on the cusp of catastrophe and the actual past, when the deeper rot was taking hold, DAMNATION delivers a nerve-jangling, decidedly analog saga of sin, murder, guilt and retribution.
Featuring a riveting central performance by Scot Colford,
originated in '86 (on 16mm) revived (in 8K) thirty years later, who's matched by the electric Nina Pilar as his driven nemesis.
Charismatic founder of pioneering industrial band Dementia Precox, Gyn Cameron dominates as a stylish psychopath, while his former band mate, guitarist Eric Purtle, supports in both time periods, embedded in a story propelled by a host of explosive songs from his band Minus One.
