Holy crap! I missed that bit about the RL guy. That is fucking horrifying. And, yes, extra frustrating that the film wasn't more successful in getting the message out.
I've been wondering about the play. I've worked up a (oh, god) 3000 word essay of brainspew on the movie, and I bet a lot of my questions would be helped with a knowledge of the play, but I'm going to need to take a U&A break pretty soon or end up rocking in the corner. (Are we going to have to add "deer stories" to "ghostly hauntings" and "dead dads parents" on the list of Canadian tropes?)
Poor Callum. He does seem drawn to playing bad guys (there's that quote/joke on playing Ray Kowalski like a bad guy. It's out there. *waves* somewhere), but it must be terribly traumatic, yes. *shudders*
I'll have to put that Bessai quote in the post; I'd seen it before, but forgot about it, and it's totally key.
Thanks for the kind words! This was such a weird project, trying to balance my NORMAN EVIL EVIL EVIL and CALLUM HOT YAY impulses. I'm glad I didn't totally screw it up. \o/
