Darkplace: Tales From The Hellmouth

I was so pleased to see an edit of one of my all-time favorite series here! It's not a radical edit, but a nice alternate way of watching without the stories being interrupted. (people new to the series will want to see those interview clips later on as well, though) The intermissions and previews were a fun touch, matching the rough quality of the series. Nice animated menus, too.

Highly recommended. (including to the Scotch)

I got introduced to Darkplace some time ago and I loved it. It was great from start to the end while also introducing funny characters, story and a concept while being made as a "80's" show that was supposedly not shown to the public which is a funny joke, I might add.

This edit by TM2YC is a great alternative to watching the show. It removes the commentary sections while still somehow keeping a coherent, but weird structure to it's story. The cover made for the edit is stylish and the grindhouse aesthetic is very cool and fits into the 80's vibe of the show. I recommend this edit to those who want to watch a shortened version of the show and find out what Darkplace is and why it gets a lot of praise nowadays. The "commentary" version is also great to watch afterwards. Watch this edit, you won't regret it.

'Darkplace' is set in a place down my neck of the woods. The dark bit. Yea.

Such a treat to find this on the down low a while back before finding this community. Going for another rewatch and thought I better just pay my respects to the FE, TM2YC. Deleted scenes. Streamlined plot. Grindhoused appeal. Exemplar of TV2Movie. Cheers!

Watching the digi-file... It will be cool to see the DVD.... BTW

This was really great!! I have not watched a new fanedit in a long while, but this one was irresistible. There is no escaping the episodic nature of the source material. Being a viewer and not a fellow editor, I always wonder if there is a way to stretch three story arcs so that they run parallel instead of from one to the next. To a total amateur like me, I always think that would make it less episodic. But it also might be impossible to do. Anyway, in some ways the episode feel is fun in itself. The intermission was really cool as well as the previews and the coming attractions. I really really enjoyed it a lot and will rewatch it. (I was someone who watched the tv show, so I wasn't coming in cold. I wonder what reaction from someone who has never seen the source material before will be?) Anyway, I totally loved it and highly recommend to anyone...anyone who gets this kind of humor.

Only seen the series once before and it's been a long time. My brother is a big fan and so I burnt this to DVD to watch with him when I went to visit recently. Naturally, he loved every bit of it. I enjoyed it a lot too, and because it's been so long since I saw the original series I couldn't tell where the interview segments used to be.

Narratively, it's very episodic and doesn't flow like a feature film, but it's a fun alternative to the original and works surprisingly well. The interval was entertaining and very well done as were the various other additions at the beginning and end of the film.

Editing was pretty much seamless as far as grindhouse goes. The nature of the style makes it hard to tell what's intentional. Video and audio was good as I expected them to be and the DVD menus were simple, but well presented. Love the poster art :)
