CLIVE BARKER'S REVIEW ON VINDICATION: "VINDICATION, the film, is a total vindication for movie-making the old-fashioned way. It's made with brains, beauty and balls, giving audiences sick of gutless studio rip-offs a taste of what a real horror movie looks and feels like. Writer/Director Bart Mastronardi has dug deep to offer us a voyeuristic peek into the secret lives of characters we really care for. He's helped in this endeavor by an extraordinary cast of new faces (many of which we¹ll surely be seeing a lot more of) who attack their roles with real passion and power.Made for the price of a days catering bill on a regular studio picture (I'm serious), VINDICATION delivers shock after shock, horror upon horror, creating scenes that are intensely beautiful and immensely bloody at the same time.Eloquent, original and deeply felt, VINDICATION is for all concerned with the project, a triumph."Clive Barker December 10, 2008
“Guilt shows no mercy!â€Vindication is a a disturbing and chilling coming of age horror story. Though Vindication has lots of severed arteries, Bart Mastronardi’s feature film debut focuses more on the troubles of its protagonist, Nicolas Bertram, a young man who has trouble finding himself in the world. After a failed suicide attempt, Nicolas’ world is shattered, his reality no longer logical. A twisted and disturbing journey of Nicolas’ discovery of his true self leads to horrific consequences. Vindication is a stunningly visual and dramatic piece of horror filmmaking taking notes from classic motion pictures and is influenced by Greek mythology, tragedy plays, Shakespeare, Dante’s Inferno and other classic forms of literature. Vindication prides itself as being an independent movie within the horror genre.
