Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The noir detective flick was good for about two things: highly stylized filmmaking that keeps Christopher Nolan in a permanent state of arousal; and liberal, unapologetic overuse of cliché. Chock full of classy dames and private dicks, the genre left a lasting impression on filmmaking, but man…if you took a shot every time some one used the term “cement coffin” or “ace”, you’d be hammered before the main character doffed his fedora for the first time. Camp Death Productions lovingly parodies film-noir in Silver Screen Slayer, giving a wink and a nod to the detectives and damsels that spouted monologues and worked hard to pick up on clues that were practically beating them over the head.
