Aftermath
Searching for a happy ending to a tale of unimaginable disaster and horror, nine strangers find themselves holed up together in a farmhouse cellar in rural Texas. Filmed in New Orleans for Director Peter Engert in 2014.
“Aftermath” has a terrific visual look going for it, which leads into special recognition earned by director of photography Scott Winig. I have seen three other movies that Winig has shot and although I would have to double check to be sure, I believe I called out Winig by name or mentioned his work in each of those reviews. With “Aftermath” being no exception, Winig’s lighting has been noticeably crisp in efforts like “Fractured”, “The Monkey’s Paw”, and “Animal”, making his name a talent to be cognizant of for future films.
“You would be hard pressed to find any other cinematographer in independent horror this skilled at lighting darkness for mood and for practicality. I don’t wish to sound like a verbal demo reel for the man, but if you have a film set in fog, a forest, or a subterranean tunnel, Scott Winig ought to be your go-to guy for shooting it believably and effectively.”
