| These idiots that are trying to trash this film need to get a LIFE! I saw the film and it's GOOD. So shut the *&^&* up and find something else to bitch about. All I know is that I went to a theater and stood in line for over an hour with hundreds of others to see this movie and it was well worth the wait. I even bought the DVD. So get a life and move on! This is a MOVIE not a document | |

| OMG this is a scary movie. It's really intense and my friends and I watched it late at night. I can't sleep. I'm thinking about the final moments in the story and what that prisoner had to go though. I will never ever look at the death penalty the same way again. | |

| I love the controversy this film has started. Looks like a lot of people are paying attention to this movie. I ordered it a month ago and have seen it at least six times with numerous friends and family. Everyone was moved by the intense images and the compelling story. I like films like this because they make you think and question what you believe in. It changed my mind about the death penalty that's for sure. Wish I could have seen it on the big screen when it played last year. | |

| Execution is a film about the final days of one man's life on death row and how two filmmakers are determined to film his execution. It stars 2 men who know a lot about death row and the execution process. This film is a movie and not a documentary so if you are offended by the content here we are sorry. This film has screened at many of the top universities in the world including Tulane, Oregon, UCLA, Washington, Cambridge (UK), Sussix (UK) and King's College of London (UK). The film has also won many awards because it is a compelling film that makes you think and causes you to question the death penalty. This film is not for everyone and is not suitable for young children or people who are offended by this type of content. | |

| I ordered the film about a week ago and it came in the mail this past Thursday. Thanks for the quick turnaround as I was anxious to see this movie. Well it was worth the wait because I was blown away by the story and how intense it was. The warden and the prisoner were really good and when the time came for the execution I could hardly catch my breath. The walk to the chair, the strap down and the execution itself will be something etched in my mind for as long as I live. | |

| Seems like there's some controversy regarding this film. Oh well. All I know is that it's a MOVIE. Let me repeat, a MOVIE and I could not turn away from the screen. I like the multiple story lines of the warden and the condemned man and the two filmmakers. Well done and worth every penny. When I first saw this film at Kings College of London I was very impressed on how many people attended the screening. Then after the film the director and a former death row inmate spoke to the crowd and explained how the film was made and why they did it. If you search the internet you can find some of those interviews. | |

| Please corroborate the execution witnesses that saw these film makers present at this "execution". If you can do THAT then your film in credible. Beyond that if you CANNOT do that then as is ALREADY KNOWN,this film is a FAKE and this is NOT AN ACTUAL EXECUTION. ADMIT THIS FRAUD. | |

Very suspenseful and I can't seem to get some of the images out of my mind. Two thumbs up! I'm no expert on prison life either. Just an ordinary guy who loves good movies. | |

| Sounds to me like the "epic director" of this "epic" entertainment(AKA HYPED SWILL) is a little miffed that his SCAM got uncovered. Now he is trying to save face and respond to the LOW RATINGS and LOSS OF MONEY that he is enduring. Face it, you cant: a. NAME THE PRISON THE MAN WAS "executed" in b. NAME THE DATE AND TIME THIS HAPPENED c. Even HOPE to expect reasonable people swallow this tripe as (and I quote YOUR movie) ACTUAL FOOTAGE. d. THIS MOVIE WAS FULL OF ACTORS AND NOT ACTUAL CONDEMNED INMATES THAT WERE EXECUTED. This is a liberals WEAK attempt at thought provocation on the subject of Capital Punishment. You ELUDE (also known as LIE) to the "fact" that persons unknown slipped unnoticed into a prison during an execution. THAT NEVER HAPPENED and there were NO electric chair executions in the ENTIRE US during the time frame you allege in this movie. As per Matt Espy THE expert in the field of Death Penalty. So AGAIN you are TURNED OUT AS A FRAUD and a SAD WEAK FAILED EXCUSE of a movie maker. Go away. Come back when you can make a REAL film, | |

| Some of you guys who say that this film is a fraud and a lie is clueless as to what this film is really about. This is a movie about an Execution. Plain and simple and it puts the audience closer to an actual execution than any film ever made. Much of this film is real...and it's up to the audience to discover that. The bottom line is that it's a good story that makes you think about the entire execution process. The film does not take any sides pro or con. It simply asks the question Right or Wrong? You Decide! Thank you Mr. Cabana. You are the real deal and you are a credit to your profession. | |

Enlighten us as to WHY YOU DIDNT SUE THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI WHEN THEY EXECUTED YOUR CLIENT EDWARD JOHNSON in 1987? If he was INNOCENT like you claim,then the State killed an innocent man and is liable. Gee you Kinda SUCK at being a lawyer. First your client gets GASSED then found to be innocent years later and you DIDNT SUE on the Estates behalf? Glad I dont retain YOU. | |

| This is a very moving and powerfully disturbing film. Hollywood with all of it big budget talent could not have delivered a more powerful film. This film pulls away the curtain and allows the viewer to see up close, at times uncomfortably so, from a front row seat capital punishment as it truly is. Regardless of your personal views regarding the death penalty, you should watch this film! | |

| Hi there! I definitely ordered it and can't think of a more powerful, disturbing film about how the death penalty is carried out in this country! I mentioned it to Customer Service at Netflicks because I thought it would be an excellent way for the film to reach more people. The customer service rep I talked to, himself a conservative Republican, looked at the website and was impressed by how raw and intense the film looked. I was writing to encourage you to add the Execution Film to their collection as a distributor, which can be done from their website at http://www.netflicks.com Again, the Execution Film was truly worth seeing .. some of the people in it, Billie Wayne Moore and Warden Donald Cabana, I have books by both authors and think maybe seeing the film will encourage people to read further.

| I'm a firm believer in the death penalty. The victims lost their lives in an even more horrible manner. When a murderer crossed that border there's no way back. Remember that the difference between us and these killers is that we are emotionally shocked by the act of killing, even if the one to be executed is a killer. They have already proven that they are not... not even when they do it themselves and the victim is innocent… | |

| I just finished watching Execution - I'm not going to lie, I had to choke back the vomit towards the end. But please know that I do not mean that in remotely a bad way. When I was 14 years old, I decided I wanted to be a lawyer who fought to abolish the death penalty, and serve people put in this position. I will be be...ginning law school this September. Thanks for making a film that reaffirms one of my deepest and most central beliefs. With deepest respect and admiration. | |

The last 30 minutes was the most intense I've seen on film. I don't think I'll ever look at the death penalty the same way again. I'm telling everybody about this move. | |

| Interesting movie. The execution scene itself was perhaps abbreviated? There were two jolts of around 14 seconds, - not long enough to kill. Besides it is not usual for a doctor to check on the prisoner between the shocks, - only after a completed, much longer cycle. Donald Cabana was in charge of real executions in the old Missouri gas chamber, and he never did real electrocutions. Did you use "artistic liberty" in shortening the electrocution process? | |

| I just received the DVD this morning and couldn't wait to watch the film. The anticipation was killing me but I waited until tonight to put it in the player. I figured it would be best to watch an "Execution" film at night. Well, I wasn't disappointed and in fact the film exceeded my wildest expectations. I wasn't sure what to expect but the multiple story lines and realistic feel of the film were intense. I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen because I was waiting to see what happens next. This story took me to a place I never imagined and I'm sure some people won't see what I'm talking about. This story is deep and it's not at all an exploitation film. It's powerful and now has me questioning everything I ever thought I understood about capital punishment. It's entertaining as hell too and still has me spooked one hour later. The only thing that could have been better is if I had seen it in a theater with a big audience. I plan to screen the film this weekend with my mates up here in Boston. Thanks again for the quick delivery and the fantastic film. SS | |

| Ya know,I dont understand how some of you ass backwards liberals seem to think that aborting a defenseless baby is perfectly fine but executing a serial killer is "inhumane." Talk about the ultimate hypocrisy! I do believe that every life is special and people have rights but those who choose to rape & kill consistently without remorse lose there rights, & therefore deserve to die! For some, i think the electric chair is too humane, and if you dont agree with me, why dont we go back to the 80's or 90's and someone can tie you to a chair and force you to watch one of ur relatives getting strangled/ butchered by dahmer/ bundy and then have there corpse fucked in every which way until they're too decomposed and the smell's too bad for those sickos to get off on it, then we'll see if your opinion about the death penalty changes!

| Well, this death penatly is cruel treatment because first of all, the comdemed people has been insolated for years before thier await of death coming to them.. and also they cannot have pyhschial contacts with thier loved one because the prison visitation area has glass wall with phone, which it not fair for the loved one desired to be touched from these comdemed ones. The elertric chair is very horrderious to me becuase they can feel the pain of elecitric. Believe me, i was accidently pull the plug off the wall, the eletric was touched me, boy.. it was hot and sting like a bee, but exterme pain. So i imanage what it was like on eletrtri chair, like 10 x worser than the plug eletritic sting..... So my opioions is that all states laws should be agianst that. Only thse people can ask God for his forgviness on thier sins and to be repent and accept him as thier savior... before they are going to die on that chiar and going to hell, add more suffering.... | |

| I spent some time in Supermax, yards from the death chamber, (the guards liked to point that out). The only people on death row were very poor and almost all of African descent. The death penalty isn't applied fairly in the US, one person gets a year in jail, and another gets the death penalty for the same crime. Thats why I think all executions should be banned in the US. | |

| The Death Penalty is sadistic, amoral and totally wrong and ineffective in stopping violent crime. It is also stupid aas millions of taxpayer dollars are spent to produce a single human corpse that will be buried or cremated. Why not just take the money and burn it or bury it in the ground! The Death Penalty must be repaeled and abolished forever if we are to elevate our society. Captial Punishment is not punishment! It is murder pure and simple! The Death Penalty makes murderers of us all! This is wrong and it must stop! | |

But for some reason now that he is dead...I don't feel any better about the whole thing. Your film can open the eyes of people around the world about this important issue.

| These convicted killers took the rights or thier victims away. So they need to lose thier rights. I hope when they fry the shit realy flys. They should experiance all the indenities and inconvences of thier exectuion. And they should suffer thier death. They should have excutions should be open to the public because this maybe a deterent. | |

| I know a lot of people who are for the death penalty. We believe in the bible where it says "an eye for an eye". I say if you kill someone then you should die. This movie shows what a real execution is like so if you don't have the guts to watch it then don't look at this movie. But if you want to see a killer pay for his crime then this movie is a must see. If anyone knows if this film is going to be in theaters please let me know. I'll be sure to bring all of my friends and experience this movie on the big screen. Jason - Birmingham, Alabama | |

| for what he did to those innocent people - he got what he dished out. in a civilized way. we can t let killers with no regaurd for human life with no compassion for others or them selfs walk among us. say what ya want - if it was your family he slaughtered in cold blood - what would you say then. its not killing in the name of justice - its just killing for the sake of destroying evil-that walks among us. we can all agree - what he did was in-human.so the way he is treated in return - should not concern us everyday people. we just send em back to god to judge. | |

Here you can't defend yourself in your own home with your bare hands without getting arrested. Most brits want the death penalty back. Even if it doesnt stop everyone, it would get rid of the very worst murderers and peodo's | |

| Dear friends - We all agree that the death penalty is one of the most controversial and hotly argued issues of our time, right up there with religion, popular politics and the economy. You are either in favor of putting people to death or you are not... there is no middle ground!!! I was involved in the making of this film as one of its producers, so it is with great pleasure that this ground breaking film is now offered in its entirety on DVD! I highly recommend that you view the website where you can view actual scenes from one the most controversial films every produced for public viewing! Do it when you have time to explore it thoroughly in a quiet setting. It is almost as provocative as the movie. I invite you to purchase it for your own private viewing. I urge you to read just a few of the over five hundred comments received from viewers just like you. Lastly, I would like to thank my good friend and resident genius, Steven Scaffidi, for having the guts to make a film that puts us all - each and every one of us - on the spot. -Michael Wagner, Exec. Producer | |

| I just finished watching the DVD and I don't know what to say. It is truly an amazing film that touches you on so many levels. I won't be able to sleep tonight thinking about this movie. I agree with many people who have said that the last half hour is the most intense part of the film. But the beginning is so well done with so many sub stories that it builds to the end like a freight train. Fantastic film! | |

| This is the best prison film I've ever seen. The realism is fantastic and the prison scenes are as good as any put on film. This movie is not just another crap film about prison life that comes out every year or so. You must see it to appreciate it. The dvd looked great and the sound was fantastic. I agree with everyone else who says you don't want to miss the last 30 minutes. Unforgettable! | |

The entire death penalty issue is controversial so this movie is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing and that is getting people to talk and think about the death penalty. I really enjoyed the film and it's still on my mind nearly a week after seeing it. The great thing is that this movie has so many layers. I plan to watch it again over the weekend. Bravo! | |

| Is this film real? Come on please tell me. I just watched it 3 times and I'm still unsure. I don't like the fact that I'm confused because I have a graduate degree and I am confident of my decisions most of the time. But I must admit, you have me on this one. Anyway, whether this is real or not is not the important thing. What is important is that you have me thinking about the death penalty and questioning everything I ever believed in. Also I agree with many others who say that the final 30 minutes is breathtaking. I could put it even better than that...it's heart stopping. Great film. OK now tell me...IS IT REAL? | |

One thing im extremely excited about is the fact that i know that this will defiantly open my eyes up more with what happens with the death penalty, and the process that goes along with it. I have been very interested in this subject for a while and for me to able to witness somthing like this is amazing, and for anyone who gets to experiance this film is also amazing. No movie in our lifetime has ever came this close as to what happens and gets that in-depth on the death penalty and how the system works...i would like to applaud the filmakers and the whole crew that went thru this whole process and getting this film out to all of us to veiw and the great job that they have done to get the word out about the movie....and also the great job to been having me on the edge of my seat for a little over a year and a half now with all the little trailers and sneek peeks as to whats going to be in the film.....cant wait for the film to come in :) Jimmy | |

| I didn't notice any comments by relatives/friends of the victim. Seems as though they're never counted. I would like to see their review of the film. The truth of it is, the perpetrators of these crimes are stashed away to live with hope. Even if it is hopeless, they're alive while they're victims have suffered mercilessly and died. I wish we could show a "film" of what happened to them. How many would watch and what would you say? | |

| Just for the record...this is not a "Fake" movie...it's simply a movie. The story is about 2 filmmakers who record an execution with hidden cameras. This is simply a good story that will put you on the front row and let you make up your own mind about the execution process in America. If you want to believe the story is real or is fiction that is up to you...This is a movie...not a documentary and there has never been a movie quite like this one because of people like Billy Moore and Donald Cabana who star in the film. | |

This film puts you right there, front and center and keeps you on the edge of your seat for 90 minutes. Distributors may be afraid of a film like this that features a real condemned man, a real warden and a real priest. Maybe they just don't realize the power of this story...who knows. But I do know one thing. When this film comes out it's going to surprise a lot of people. | |

You can order a book from www.ishallnotdie.com or you can get an autographed copy by emailing bnalmoore@aol.com | |

| I saw Billy Moore's story on the 700 Club and it was amazing. This is no doubt the most incredible story of forgiveness I've ever seen. I know of many people who were touched by this story like I was. We can't wait to buy the DVD of "Execution" and hopefully one day soon see Billy's story in the movies or on TV. Forgiveness is a powerful message in today's world and Billy Moore is the poster boy for Forgiveness. | |

| What started with a desire for new and unusual halloween props, my life touched on the subject of death penalty and the various methods used to execute capital punishment. My interest in the mechanics of execution sparked almost five years of intense research of the subject. I learned, not only the mechanics of how a person can be killed in the interests of the legal system and potential "safety" of the general public, but got into finding the rationalization behind the concept of public retribution. I discovered I do not know where I stand on the issue and I hope this summer's dvd release of this film will help me come closer to finding where I stand. I will continue to build life sized replicas of the apparatus. History needs a reminder sometimes. | |

| I think that the death penalty is only acceptable in particular circumstance's and it should only be inflicted for the most unbearable crimes.The death penalty is such an arguable case amongst many of people, some disagree and others agree. Hopefully by viewing "EXECUTION" will give people a better understanding of the seriousness case of the death penalty. I, personally, have not seen this powerful film whereas I am unable to locate it, but i would be fascinated to watch this film. | |

| My husband and I have been following the progress of "Execution" since we saw it at a festival screening in Los Angeles. We both truly enjoyed the film, which we thought was by far the best of the fest, and can't seem to get many of the scenes out of our heads. The final 30 minutes of the movie are some of the most intense and riveting we have ever seen on film. We look forward to the release of "Execution" in the near future and trust that you will post any information as to how we can see it or buy it. We also hope that Mr. Scotti can get the film in theaters because it is captivating on the big screen. Good luck and please keep in touch. Sincerely, Karen and Dan Bowers - Santa Monica, CA | |

| Reprieve is deeply saddened by the execution of Jack Alderman. Jack, who was the longest serving death row prisoner in the United States, had been on Georgia’s death row for over 33 years. He was executed yesterday evening. Clive Stafford Smith, Reprieve’s Director, said: “I am devastated. Jack was a model prisoner and loved by many. The fact that Jack was killed despite his strong claim of innocence demonstrates with depressing clarity why this barbaric practice must end.” | |

| Jack Alderman, who has been on Georgia’s death row for over 33 years, has received a stay of execution. Today a Judge ordered that Jack’s execution – scheduled for tomorrow – should not be carried out until the State Board of Pardons and Paroles grants a “meaningful” hearing at which Jack’s legal team and witnesses will have an opportunity to appeal for clemency. “How hard, how difficult would it be before the state takes someone’s life, as a matter of grace … for you to have this hearing?” asked the Judge. A time for the hearing has not yet been scheduled. | |

| Dear Steven Jack Alderman is the longest serving prisoner on death row in the USA. Sentenced to death in June1975 for the murder of his wife, Jack has been on death row for over 33 years and is scheduled to die by lethal injection on 16th September. John Brown, a neighbour and former colleague of Jack’s, confessed to killing Jack’s wife Barbara Jean and staging an accident. He later said that he and Jack had killed her together and that Jack had promised to pay him for his role in the killing. No other evidence was presented at trial - just one man’s word. Both men were sentenced to death but Brown later pled guilty in return for a prison sentence and was freed after serving 12 years. Jack, however, has always claimed his innocence. In 1985 he refused the opportunity to have his sentence commuted to life in return for a guilty plea; he said that he cannot confess to a crime that he did not commit. Jack received a stay of execution last October while a decision on the lethal injection was pending in the Supreme Court. Following the court’s decision earlier this year that death by lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment, executions have resumed across the country and Jack has been issued with a death warrant. Reprieve’s Director Clive Stafford Smith said “I first met Jack in 1981, 27 years later the state of Georgia still want to execute him. He is an old man now compared to when I first met him, it is just obscene”. Thank you for your support.

| i saw this film at the university of cambridge. powerful, is all i can say. some people got upset because the film never says anything negative about the death penalty or executions but that's what i love about this film. it doesn't preach to you. it simply takes you behind bars and puts you face to face with the condemned man and his final days on earth. then you will actually sit front and center at his execution like no other film before. it's truly amazing and makes you question everything about the entire execution process. this is a great film. | |

Did his victim get a last meal?? NO!! Did she get to say goodbye to her family?? NO!!I think they should kill him the same way his victim died.. walk in his cell in the middle of the night and rip him to shreads.. MENTALLY ILL?? PLEASE. ALL these scumbags use that one. And all the BS appeals he has had is tax money that could have been to take care of homeless and GOOD people. | |

Reprieve volunteers worked on his case and uncovered evidence that he was mentally ill, crucial evidence which his post-conviction lawyers ignored. I have set out some further information about his case below and there is a letter to the Governor of Mississippi at the end of this e-mail. Please write to him urging him to commute Dale’s sentence or, at least, to grant him a Reprieve. Thank you for your support.

Late yesterday afternoon, Governor Kaine commuted Percy Walton's death sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole, citing Walton's severe mental illness. You can read the Governor's statement here. Please take a moment to thank Governor Kaine for this action. Gov. Tim Kaine P.O.

| If the people of the United States will allow the State to carry out executions, it better be informed about what an execution consists of. They better see what they are supporting. The people who support the death penalty have to face the fact that they have blood on their hands and learn to live with that. | |

| I watched this film and...Holy shit! I really find three stories in it: The inmates, the wardens, and the film makers. A lot of questions pop up. Not just on the subject of the death penalty, but those who participate in the actual execution, and then as a documentary filmmakers how close do you get to your subject. That shot with Cabana looking into the hidden camera is classic! This film could appeal not only to death penalty advocates, but film schools, journalistic ethicists, criminal justice and corrections personnel. It was powerful for me. Congratulations on a well-done film. I have seen many films on this subject - The Green Mile, Last Dance, I want to Live, Dead Man Walking, but this was unique. The director weaved several factors in that allow for an animated discussion on so many levels - the detachment of the guards, the compassion of the priest, the conflicting points of view of the two film-makers, the human side of a death row inmate, the underlying psychological reasons why he killed. And the execution scene was perfect, mechanical, not over the top. Shocking in its simplicity really. I can go on all day but the filmmaker did a great job with this film. | |

| Dear Mr. Scaffidi, Thank you very much for showing your film, EXECUTION, at Seattle University. As an educator, I appreciate any opportunity that can help students become interested in criminal justice issues. Your film captured the attention of our students, and it fostered a deep discussion about the use of the death penalty in the United States. I greatly appreciate the fact that your film offered a platform for such a discussion. I deeply appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to bring the film to our campus, to speak with the audience, to bring Billy to speak at the debut of the film, and to answer questions from audience members. Not only did you help the students and audience members understand the deeper layers of the death penalty, but you have sparked the interest of many students who are now questioning the use of the death penalty. Once again, thank you for your time and effort in coordinating your presentation. I look forward to viewing your future film. Sincerely, Dr. Elaine Gunnison, Ph.D. | |

| the fact that this film is not out in theaters across the u.s. clearly confirms that unless you have a major star or major money behind you, the distributors won't touch your film. EXECUTION is one of the most significant films of our times. the film is edgy, but yet educatoinal to a point. the actors may not be "stars" but they do a great job and are very BELIEVEABLE. if the cohen brothers or ben afleck had done EXECUTION the film would be heralded by hollywood as "revoluntionary" or "groundbreaking". hang in there guys,you have a significant and great film. who ever is smart enough to distribute this film will laugh all the way to the bank. the lancer | |

If you're going to sit on a jury in the U.S and decide whether we should be killing people, you should educate yourself on the topic. | |

| OK Don't be fooled...you seem to know it all. Let's just set the record straight. The Execution in the film takes place in 1995 ... do you know where Cabana was in 1995? Do your research. As far as propaganda goes ... have you seen the entire film...if not hold your judgement until then on the reality of the film. Simply put...this film takes you inside America's death chamber and puts the audience on the front row of an execution. The film doesn't make a statement or take a stand for or against the death penalty and let's the audience decide for themselves if this is right or wrong. Finally, the warden doesn't talke joy in executing anyone...he's simply doing his job...and by the way...I love Cabana's accent...it's 100% real. | |
| ~Get your facts straight | |
| [top] | |
| Posted 4:34:26 PM 10/24/2007 |
| I would like to update on my previous post. To be more specific, Dr. Cabana is the warden of the Harrison County Jail in Mississippi. He was the superintendent at Mississippi State Penitentiary in 2004. However, as stated, Dr. Cabana is currently the warden of the Harrison County Jail. I noticed in the film that Dr. Cabana, playing the part of the warden, had a fake sounding Southern accent. I was born and raised in the South. I know a real Southern accent when I hear one. Dr. Cabana is supposed to be a "real" Southern warden in this film. BALONEY. Dr. Cabana is originally from the state of MASSACHUSETTS. A true blood Yankee if there ever was one. He is no more a Southerner than Sen. Ted Kennedy. Granted, for being a former superintendent in the state of Mississippi, Dr. Cabana would have acquired some degree of southern lexicon, mannerisms, accent, etc. But when I listen to Dr. Cabana, I can easily tell that he is not originally from the South. The big lie about this film is that it is supposed to be real, and the "warden" is supposed to be this "Southern" law man helping the condemned to "ride the lightning" LOL LOL LOL. You have to be kidding me. NO REAL WARDEN WOULD EVER SAY SUCH A THING AT ANYTIME. It is Dr. Cabana's attempt to portray a stereotypical, white, Southern, racist, lawman holding the black man down. In other words lies, propaganda, and leftist politics. Ask yourself this question. If Dr. Cabana is the warden of a county jail ( which he is in real life ), how is it that he is in charge of executing a prisoner in a state prison's electric chair ? Logically, that cannot be so. A county jail warden would be in no way what-so-ever be involved in a state execution. That's because this film is entirely fiction as I stated from my first post. Don't be so gullible people... and easily mislead by left-wing propaganda and carpetbaggers. Think for yourself !! Oh, and one last thing. Dr. Cabana is well known by his statements in his books and lectures that he is highly against the death penalty. So then, we have an obvious bias from Dr. Cabana from the get-go. That is why he was chosen to play the warden in this movie. | |
| ~I Cannot Be Fooled | |
| [top] | |
| Posted 7:09:16 PM 10/21/2007 |
| Yes Mr. Cabana is a real warden in a county jail. Albeit, he is acting in his capacity as an actor. Yes, real people in real-life situations are being utilized. But they are all performing as actors. This film is a DRAMA. It is not, nor has it ever been, a documentary. This film is listed as a drama on multiple movie web sites, and NOT as a documentary. Again, this is NOT a documentary of an actual execution as the film makers would have you believe. It is a work of fiction. By using logic and deductive reasoning, it is quite easy to conclude that this is a propaganda film. This is akin to the movie: Blair Witch Project, in so much as the movie was presented as real. It misled the majority of movie goers into believing that what they were seeing was real, when in fact, it was a total work of fiction. Why are people so gullible? Because most people WANT to believe it, or because they are too brain washed by the modern age of mass communication into finding out the truth for themselves. Propaganda is a very powerful tool. Hitler knew this. | |

| In response to "Don't be Fooled": Sometimes when you think you know it all you get hit from another perspective that makes you look at things a whole new way. You seem to be pretty sure of yourself when it comes to the reality or non-reality of this movie. I've done my homework have you? The warden in this movie is Dr. Donald Cabana. Do you know who he is? Well if you don't then maybe you should "Google" his name. If you do that you will see that he's a real warden, in fact maybe the best known prison warden in America. He wrote the book "Death at Midnight" and is featured in the documentary "Fourteen Days in May". Also do you know who William Neal Moore is. If you don't then check him out too. Mr. Moore's story is amazing to say the least and he was on death row in Georgia for over 16 years. I read all about him on the internet and this is no joke. So before you go off half cocked and assume that everything is "fake" think again my friend. Sincerely, DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN - THE WHO | |

| not so sure this is fake as the person ahead of me said. i'm not a computer expert but it's easy to take old pictures and put them in jpg form. and after carefully looking at the pictures they look old to me. if there were "coffee stains" as stated above then that would be something i would certainly question. the mother and boy look very genuine. i've been following this story on the web and look forward to seeing the film so i can judge for myself. but the power of this story is not so much how real the footage is but how accurately it portrays the execution process. lots of people talking about this movie too so that tells me there's something to this. just my humble opinion. jack | |

| I forgot to mention the gorgeous lighting and photogenic qualities of the subjects. Notice the one taken in "1950" of the mother and son who are cheek-to-cheek. The aforementioned photo is definately a professional composition. It is not just an ordinary picture; it is in fact a portrait. There are many artistic elements to be found in these photos. Such as Focal Point, Professional Lighting, Value, etc. Notice the mother's forehead in the cheek-to-cheek composition - it is so clear and the lighting so perfect that you can see clearly the small "bumps" and other normal facial imperfections. Also there are no cuts, scratches, scrapes, abrasions, coffee stains, marks, folding, fraying or AGING in any of the so-called photos. You would expect that over 57 years of aging that some of these marks would be evident in said photos. | |

| Posted 3:07:15 PM 10/16/2007 |
| This is by far the MOST FAKE so called "footage" of an execution. It is obvious that the people in the film clips are actors. No warden would EVER say, "He's gonna ride the lightning" or words to that effect. This is an attempt to portray a stereotypical white Southern lawman. It is total leftist propaganda. Also, if you look at the photographs ( black and white ), the clarity is outstanding for photos presumed to have been taken in the early 1950's. And even more remarkable is that the photos presented are of course in a computer format ( i.e., JPG, TIFF, or other type of format ). There would be at least some loss of quality or distortion of clarity from the original. To have such clear photographs in that era would have required an expensive camera, or to pay a professional photographer to take them. The mother and son are portrayed to be poor African-Americans - in an era when most black people were very poor. I highly doubt that people in their position would have had the funds for such excellent photography, especially when food and a roof over your head were far more important. Lastly, notice how very modern looking the subjects are in the photos. Obviously this is a sham. | |

This film shows the human side of a killer. It really pulls at your emotions and makes you think. The execution process is barbaric to say the least. Nothing is more haunting then to know the time, date and place of your death. Unforgettable film...it's changed my life and my views on capital punishment. | |

| When will this film be released in Europe? All the clips and photographs on here look authentic. This is the kind of story that will do very well over here. We are interested in the United States execution process. Very interesting how they keep people in prison for years then one day they just kill them. In my opinion if they are going to execute someone who is guilty then they should just do it quickly and just get it over with. Why keep them in prison for years? It make no sense. Please let me know where I can see this film since I will not be able to come to the U.S. for the screenings. Cheers. | |

The walk to the chair is unforgettable. It's not the Green Mile and thank God for that. This is the real deal I assure you. No bullshit, it's good unless you are afraid to watch a killer "ride the lightning" as the warden says. Honestly, nobody moved during the film's credits and actually sat still for a good time after the credits rolled. I've never seen that with any other movie. | |

| I've seen this film and it's good. Now I don't want to over sell this thing but you have to see it to appreciate it. I was in the theater at Tulane and I don't think one person even got up and there were a hell of a lot of people in there. Maybe a thousand but it's hard to tell because the place was so big. What I love about the movie is that it takes you to the edge of the whole execution process and let's you see for yourself what really takes place on death row. I've seen the Green Mile, Monster's Ball, Dead Man Walking and the rest but this film is different. It's so much better than all the others because it's real. My recommendation is DON'T MISS THIS FILM. People are still talking about it and it's not what you think. So until you see it you can comment all you want but you really have no idea. ***** (5 Stars) | |

| I find the most interesting angle about this film is the role played by william neal moore, the "condemned man" in the script, reliving his all-too-real experience on georgia's death row until the state parole board commuted his sentence to life in 1990...spared after relatives of his victim pleaded for clemency, moore today is a free man who works as a preacher in rome, ga and is a compelling and inspirational speaker against the death penalty... so what do i make of all this??? i don't know and won't until i see the film...if i see the film...i find myself as conflicted over the film's presence as scaffidi (the film's director) is over the death penalty... Scaffidi said he has conflicted feelings about the death penalty. "I flip-flop," he said. so what do you think??? have you heard about the film??? will you see it??? grab a cup of coffee and let's talk... | |

| I will be there at Universal Studios in Hollywood to see this film at Moondance. This is probably the best story I've seen at any of the fests - and I've been to Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, Telluride etc etc. I was really disappointed that Los Angeles did not take this film because they screened lots of crap this year. I was also at Sundance and was not impressed at all. Just my humble opinion. Bill | |

| this is no blair witch. great story, great characters, and compelling drama. the entire theater was sitting on the edge of their seats counting down the days leading up to the ending we all knew was coming. no cheezy ending or some crappy twist either. this story is solid from beginning to end. starts off slow and quickly builds like a runaway train. i was very surprised at the complexity of the story lines too. lots of subtext and various stories to follow but without a doubt one major theme. the relationship between the warden and the comdemned man is what carries the film but the story of the filmmakers relates to the audience because everyone of us could be them. i'm a bit pissed because i was shocked by the execution process and how methodical it is and i am now flip floping over the whole darn issue of pro vs. con. this story makes one think...really think about what is right and what is wrong with the american criminal justice system. i loved reading all the great comments and i was compelled to write my own. ok i'm beginning to ramble....GREAT MOVIE! who says you need overrated tommy cruise. the realism of this movie is what makes it so damn good. ~gg | |

| We've heard about this film for sometime now. I understand there is a bit of controversy whether the film is real or not. To be honest with you, We don't believe it's real but it really doesn't matter because this story is really interesting. We've done our research and William Neal Moore and Donald Cabana are absolutely real. You can find information about them all over the internet. After looking carefully at the clips and the movie trailer we think it's just a good movie and not an exploitation film. But the fact is that controversy sells so the best part about all of this is that it is pure speculation on our part because the film could be real. We look forward to seeing this film and if anyone has any information about it please post the information on this website. Phillipe, Hans, Sandra and Marie | |

I don't really care if this is real or Hollywood because I'm interested in the story which has hooked me. I've signed up for the DVD notification too so hopefully I will be able to see the movie soon. Thanks for producing such a provacative movie. Cheers. | |

There's no doubt that lots of people want to see what really happens on death row and inside the death chamber. Is it true a real prisoner who was on death row plays the role of the condmened man? I do know that the warden and priest are real but I'm not sure about the condemned man. ~MIT | |

| Hi: Your film is amazing!!! I have only seen clips along with the trailer, but the idea of the film is what fascinates me. I have wanted to put together a documentary along with a book about death row for a while. I was interested in the subject after doing a college paper on three children, under the age of 18, that was sentenced to death row. I think your film will open many eyes and minds to the possibility of changing the way we view criminals and to better solutions. I look forward to seeing your amazing film when it's released to the world. | |

| Deathpenalty is murder, state sanctioned murder. It´s no lesson. There´s a fucked up system and religious babble and rasicm, nothing else. The death penalty is nothing new, it´s been around for centuries, and still there are some people who believe it serves its purpose. I digress, though, since "an eye for an eye and the whole world is blind" is what I belive in. I think it´s good that this movie will be shown to the public, so that they can get an opinion, first of maybe revulsion towards the killer and then tears after the execution is carried out. How somebody can be "for" it, I do not know. But I´m sure that there will be alot of people who will change side once they´ve seen this movie. | |

| We know of Tulchin Entertainment and have seen some of his films. This one is by far the best and most interesting we've seen on his list. Most film fests will shy away from this film simply because of the controversial content. It's sad but true that most of the so-called independent fests are not at all independent and controlled by studios and top producers. It's good to see cretive content like this one and hope that Tulcin will find a distributor who will run with this film. We also agree with the comment above about the foreign market which will eat this up. Let us know how to get the DVD. Thanks. | |

| When is Mr. Tulchin going to release this film? Does he realize that not only will this film find a big audience in America but the international markets will be even bigger. The fact that Tulane University drew a huge crowd should be enough to convince anyone that this film has serious potential. We're looking forward to the release of this film and will continue to monitor the website as well as IMDB. | |

The video clips are great and I particullary like the movie trailer. This kind of reminds me of the film Open Water because it draws you into the story and you just have to see it. I'm sure this film will draw big crowds to theaters just like that film did. But this one looks even better and that's saying something. I'm a big movie fan and I know a good story when I see it.

This film will shake up some people and thrill others but I guarantee it will make you think. Isn't that what good films are supposed to do?

| I voted yes only because you cannot be for or against the death penalty until you are a witness. Not just a witness to the execution, but to understanding the scope of the crime. Larry Bell kidnapped, repeatedly raped, and killed a teenager (Shari Smith) and a 9-year old (Deborah May Helmeck). He was exceptionally cruel to Shari's family calling them and taunting them telling what he did to their daughter/sister. He made her choose how he would kill her. Forcing a victim to pick their method of death is sick. Bell was executed in South Carolina's electric chair, deservedly so. Since being able to witness an execution is not possible, I am for the death penalty for those that are guilty based on irrefutable DNA or other hard core evidence. | |

| Producers are now in the process of seeking a distribution deal so the world can see this film. So far the film has screened on a limited basis with one screening in Australia, one screeing at the University of Southern Illinois, and one screening at Tulane University. Last month the film drew over 700 people at Tulane and the film also made an impact recently at Southern Illinois. Producers are now talking to several more colleges across America to have more limited screenings of the film. The DVD is not available to the general public for now but it could be available in the near future. Thanks to everyone for all the great comments and please check back for the latest updates on "Execution". | |

As for me, I'm not so sure but either way it is a great story. From the trailer to the clips the images are unforgettable. We are college students who would like to bring this film to our campus. I hope that the film is still available for screening in the fall. Since exams are going on now it's not a good time to talk to the administration but we have some faculity members very interested in making the screening happen. We will respond via email to this site in the near future. The clip shot at Tulane is strong and we have passed it along to others here. We will be in touch in the near future.

The clip with the comments from the Tulane screening show that this film made an impact too.

I'll feel so much better while my body decomposes in the earth and my life is no longer. Forget about the persons still alive and who are in danger of such ignorant minds (to kill innocent persons, or to have controllable minds that can be bent with ease). For those who do not know to whom I'm talking - it's YOU, the persons who support the ignorance that the death penalty is cruel or unjust. Think for yourselves. | |

| I'm still not sure if this film is real or is it dramatized. I was in the theater at Tulane with hundreds of others and we all were mesmerized by this film. A huge crowd for a film screening sat still for over an hour and a half not knowing what to think but knowing in the end we were all going to witness an execution. Incredible in this world of A.D.D. I don't think anyone even got up to go to the bathroom - we all even sat through every credit. I've never seen anything like it and that is no exaggeration. One of the most thought-provoking, entertaining films I've ever seen. I'm blown away by the number of people who have expressed their opinions on this website and who have discussed this film on campus. Maybe one day we will all understand the story behind this story but it really doesn't matter because all of us were drawn to this story. Maybe it was simply curiousity or some morbid facination with the death penalty but it really doesn't matter, does it? We are still talking about that rainy night at Tulane because this story stays in your head and makes you think. I applaud Tulane for bringing this film to our campus and allowing us to decide if the death penalty is right or wrong. | |

| This is the most powerful and emotionally draining film that I have ever seen. I think that everyone should see this film in order to witness the realities of the death penalty. Also, I enjoyed being able to see the characters in this film conduct a forum afterwards. It made it that more real. Though it was an unreal experience, because it was something i would never expect to witness. | |

Hopefully this film will be available to everyone soon. I saw the film at Tulane with a lot of others who thought it was powerful to say the least. You just had to be in the theater to experience the emotion of the audience that not. Some people may have been upset by what they saw but the majority of us were very moved by the film. | |

We are still talking about it and wish we could sit down with the director to talk about the story. The film really opened our eyes to death row and the entire execution process. Most everyone we've spoken to since the screening feel the same way. "Execution" made a serious impact on a lot of people at Tulane.

I'm so tired of the same old crap out there and this film is refreshing to say the least. There are parts of it that scare the hell out of you and it's done by messing with your mind which is extremely clever. On a 1-10 I give it a 9 because I just don't give anything a 10 so this is a good rating. If I were a movie critic I would say that you should see this film because it puts you front and center at a prisoner's final days on death row and ends with his death in the electric chair. And if you think you know what that experience is like then you are wrong. This film is better than those others like "Dead Man Walking", "Green Mile" and all the other crap out there. This film is real and it's not some boring documentary. It's actually a really good film. It surprised me. | |

| I'm serious when I say this - I absolutely loved this film!!! I don't know anyone in it but I loved it. It was totally original and I can't get the thing out of my head. We all talked about the movie all night long and it kept me up the entire night. I know - it's crazy but I'm serious here. The theater was packed and the intensity was unreal. What a great event too. Thank you Tulane. | |

| The macabre marketing of Execution plays on our rubber-necking culture which has a high tolerance for violence, and a low threshold for gore. Although the filmmaker, Steven Scaffidi, says that his only objective is to give viewers the opportunity to absorb the depiction of the death penalty in vivid detail why stop with the depiction of an execution? Why not document the murders committed by those on death row as well? I have no doubt that executions by electricution are gruesome. That they are no longer administered in the United States should make the viewer wary of Scaffidi's motives. Would audiences have quite the same reaction to a lethal injection? How gruesome might it be if Scaffidi captured a bloody murder on film? Of course, that would be nearly impossible to do because murderers give no notice of the violent acts they perform. Although perpetrators are given years to consider the injustice of their crimes and to seek redemption before their punishments are finally administered, they themselves provided no such opportunity to their victims. Scaffidi celebrates William Neil Moore as an example of how murderers can be saved and redeemed for their crimes. He was granted clemency after appeals from his victim's family, and is now a Georgia preacher. How many other cases are there of murderers who never express regret for their actions? I have no doubt that the hearts of murderers can be changed. I'm repulsed by capital punishment. But I'm also highly sensitive to the fact that some crimes are so heinous, are committed with such malice, and cause so much loss and suffering by the victim and loved ones, that no amount of personal redemption can ever make up for the crime committed. The fact that a murderer can be redeemed doesn't alter the fact that there should be a price to pay for the crime. Redemption and punishment are two separate entities which shouldn't be conflated as the same. The William Neil Moore case, as it happens, ended exactly as I feel it should, with the victim's family having the final say among the options of punishment. Would they have wished that Moore be executed instead of granted clemency, their wish should have been granted. No one can possibly know how much suffering is caused when a loved one is murdered. It's far worse than when a loved one is lost to illness or an accident, because it exposes the extreme evil that exists in the hearts of people who freely roam throughout our society, and challenges the very core of faith in the good will of people and the nature of the universe. If you go to see this film, consider what you may not be shown. I haven't seen the film, and don't intend to see it. Judge for yourself, if you care to succumb to the gratuitous marketing, which parts are, as Scaffidi says, real and not real. Is the suffering of victims and their families real? And remember this the next time you turn on the TV or watch a Quentin Tarantino movie: Violence is not entertainment to victims and their loved ones. It's only entertainment when you haven't actually experienced it. | |

| i'm all for the death penalty, as the bible says an eye for an eye. if the gov. and press would allow public execution, crime would slowly deteriorate. put it on pay-per-view, that way you please everyone. if you want to view it you order it if not then don't pay for it. and the fees collected would help pay the cost of production and filming. other countries have stricter laws and penalties and promote public executions. their crime rates are far less than the U.S. ever was. china takes a hand for theft and kills for drug dealing and murder. just my opinion. | |

| I just wanted to write and say that we enjoyed the premiere last night. We were both intrigued by the movie. It flowed real well, the acting was great. Especially Don Cabana. He did very well with his role. The Q&A afterward was great as well. It was great to listen to the dialog created by this movie and we are proud to be associated with its production. I was thinking of young troubled teens who are considering the wrong path or maybe have already experimented with it, seeing this film. It could potentially benefit the world should it make someone stop and think twice about crime. Although Billy Moore said that he didn't think that most criminals think about the time or punishment they might receive for a crime I do think if someone saw this film would certainly connect with Billy's character and possibly come to the realization that "crime does not pay" or "the price for crime is too high". Anyway, congratulations on a great film, you did a wonderful job and we appreciate your efforts to get this movie and topic out to the public. Take Care! | |

It makes you feel sad but then you know in your heart he deserved what he got for committing such an horrendous crime. I believe this will have impact on whoever watches it. It makes you decide what you believe. It was really great hearing the guests speak after the movie. I was sorry I had to leave, I wish I could have seen you. My friend was anxious, she was scared at first at what she would see but she said she really was surprised and liked it. | |

| By far, my favorite moment in the film was when the condemned man was sanding the coffin. As you know, many of the most powerful moments in film are when the words aren't necessary. You weren't sure if it was for him, someone else, if this was a regular thing, etc. -- it was just a really poignant image that left you thinking w/o telling you exactly what you were supposed to think. It's always a treat to hear from the talent after a screening, but you had the real guys, which made it uniquely interesting. Whether others love it or hate it, we filmmakers can definitely appreciate that you got it done, and it is truly original. Good seeing you, best of luck. | |

| NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - TULANE UNIVERSITY April 9, 2007 Tulane Prepares for 'Execution' By: Suzanne Johnson suzannej@tulane.edu In a scene from the movie "Execution," the warden makes a visit to the condemned man on death row. The movie's world premiere is tomorrow (April 10) on the Tulane uptown campus. Does the death penalty represent legal justice or an antiquated and immoral institution? Whatever one's opinion, the death penalty has been one of the most debated legal and moral issues of the past generation. The death penalty will take the stage at Tulane on Tuesday (April 10) as the Tulane University Criminal Law Society hosts both the world premiere of the gritty film "Execution" and a death penalty forum. The program, which is free and open to the general public, will take place at 7 p.m. at McAlister Auditorium. Only those over the age of 17 will be admitted due to the graphic nature of the film and discussion. Doors open at 6 p.m. and limited seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. "Execution," produced and directed by New Orleans native Steven Scaffidi of Ghost Rider Pictures, has captured a lot of advance publicity. It is the story-within-a-story of two filmmakers who are making a documentary about life in prison. As the story unfolds, they begin focusing their film on one death-row inmate and his pending execution, including the step-by-step process of how the execution is carried out. A subplot parallels the feelings of both the condemned man and the prison warden. The film crew heads into prison for filming of "Execution," produced and directed by New Orleans native Steven Scaffidi. (Photos provided by Ghost Rider Pictures) The film stars a real death-row inmate, warden and priest playing their respective roles. Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion and audience question-and-answer session featuring three men who have experienced death row and capital punishment from different perspectives -- William Neal Moore, Donald Cabana and the Rev. Joel LaBauve. Moore was on Georgia's death row for 16 years after confessing to capital murder and was only seven hours away from execution before a stay was issued. He was freed as a result of the efforts of his victim's family. Cabana was the longtime warden and director of the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. He also is the author of the book Death at Midnight: Confessions of an Executioner. LaBauve is the former chaplain to Louisiana's maximum-security penitentiary at Angola and has ministered to hundreds of death-row inmates. copyright 2007, all rights reserved | |

| Local film takes viewers to execution Posted by By Gwen Filosa April 09, 2007 8:16AM Steven Scaffidi won't divulge everything about his new film that tracks a condemned man's route to the electric chair. "Execution," which premieres Tuesday night at McAlister Auditorium on the Tulane University campus, is a 90-minute tale of the ultimate punishment. Advertised as containing footage of a real electrocution -- recorded years ago by hidden cameras that two filmmakers stashed in a death chamber -- the movie is meant to be mysterious as to what is real and what is manufactured drama. "I'm not trying to be evasive," Scaffidi, 50, said last week at a Harahan coffee shop. "Is it real? I think that's what the audience can decide. At the end of the day, you're going to know what's real and what's dramatized." The New Orleans native said he wants the viewer to absorb the depiction of the death penalty in vivid detail. "My goal is to take the audience and put them on the front row of an execution," he said. "This story is a myth. Parts are real and not real." "Execution" follows two filmmakers determined to capture an execution in a Southern state, and stars a former Mississippi prison warden who presided over executions, a former chaplain at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola who counseled convicts during their last breaths, and a man who spent 16 years on death row, Scaffidi said. In the film, the three men play the roles they served out in real life. William Neil Moore is the "condemned man" in the script, reliving his all-too-real experience on Georgia's death row until the state parole board commuted his sentence to life in 1990, according to the film's press kit. Spared after relatives of his victim pleaded for clemency, Moore today is a free man who works as a preacher in Rome, Ga. "No one is beyond redemption, even people on death row," Moore likes to say when he speaks across the country on the subject. Donald Cabana, the former warden at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, appears in the film as "the warden," while the Rev. Joel LaBauve is "the priest," having earned the role by spending six years at Angola ministering to doomed convicts. All three will host a panel discussion after Tuesday's screening. Six years in the making, "Execution" isn't meant to change anyone's opinion on the legal ritual, Scaffidi said. "The film is not going to make a statement." The film is not for anyone under 17 years old, he said, and he shrugs off any suggestion that "Execution" is an exploitation of the grim topic. Who is his target audience? "Anybody who has an opinion about prison life and the death row," he said. "Is it right? Is it wrong?" Scaffidi made headlines with his 2006 documentary "Forgotten on the Bayou," which chronicles Hurricane Katrina survivor Rockey Vaccarella, who after riding out the storm on his roof, decided to tow his FEMA trailer to Washington, D.C., to have dinner with President Bush. "I set the whole thing up," he said of Vaccarella's Oval Office trek, yet another film from his Ghost Rider Pictures company that he started in 1990. His previous works include "The People's Story," a documentary about survivors of Hurricane Mitch's wrath in Honduras, which he said was a finalist for the 2000 Academy Awards, but didn't receive a nomination. The University of New Orleans graduate has spent almost a lifetime making movies -- he made his first as a 10-year-old with a Super 8 camera. About 15 years ago, Scaffidi met up with a condemned inmate while working on a film segment for an HBO special. He couldn't come up with the convict's name the other day, but he remembers that after spending time with the inmate, Scaffidi's emotions ranged from revulsion to pity. "I hated him," Scaffidi said of the murderer. But after following him all the way to his state-sponsored death, the filmmaker found himself crying after the man's execution. "I cried and I found that struggle within myself. Feeling sorry for a killer." Scaffidi said he has conflicted feelings about the death penalty. "I flip-flop," he said. These days, Scaffidi, who grew up in Carrollton and Lakeview before his family moved to Kenner, is a full-time filmmaker, settled back in Kenner with a wife and three children, ages 20, 18 and 14, all of whom Scaffidi plans to take to Tuesday's screening. But he's still not answering every question about "Execution," including whether the condemned man is based on a real convict, or where exactly the "hidden" footage came from. "One day we will, but not now," he said. "Let the film play." The premiere of "Execution" is sponsored by the Tulane University Criminal Law Society. Admission is free. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the film begins at 7 p.m. Gwen Filosa can be reached at gfilosa@timespicayune.com or (504) 826-3304 | |

| Hi: Your film is amazing!!! I have only seen clips along with the trailer, but the idea of the film is what fascinates me. I have wanted to put together a documentary along with a book about death row for a while. I was interested in the subject after doing a college paper on three children, under the age of 18, that was sentenced to death row. I think your film will open many eyes and minds to the possibility of changing the way we view criminals and to better solutions. I look forward to seeing your film in April. Thank You, Krystal H. | |

| final 7 days of a man's existence, 1 April 2007 10/10 Author: ramiroflo from United States As real as it gets! Three individuals, whom were there in a very real situation. Actors have never experienced an ACTUAL EXECUTION! I think this film can change Public opinion. If you race seen the PBS series race to execution, you'll be amazed of the outcome of this film. Watch it and discuss this subject. The individuals give the audience a front row chair to feel the emotions of everyone in the room. This is not a Hollywood, style of film-making, no research with the characters. They were truly there. The story of the filmmakers is very riveting in there endeavour to finish the film for the world to see. I urge all college of laws to view and witness this project. | |

| I think execution is better left to the horrors of the mind. Everyone slows to see car accidents, yet it never deters people from speeding. What makes a public execution any different? I don't believe criminals will be deterred from this film. This is just a snuff film for the rightfully deserved derelict. But people enjoy retrobution, and horrible accidents, so it's probably a hit to witness someone dying. I only hope they convey how alone a death row inmate feels, and show he has no one but hisself to blame for his death. | |

| really entertaining and thought provoking, 28 March 2007 10/10 Author: girllovesfilms from United States i'm new to IMDb but i'm not new to watching movies. being a college student i have a lot of time to view many films. my favorite films are independents that take chances and produce something different. this film may be one of the most unique i've ever seen. the realism of the story and the footage is what makes the film so good. it's completely different from any other film i've seen and i've seen many many films. the film makers story is what i most relate to because i have often wondered what it would be like to actually witness an execution. before i walked into the theater to see this film i almost turned around. i did not just want to see a man's execution like the exploitation stuff you can get on youtube. my friends convinced me to go in and be open minded about what i was about to see and wow, i was very surprised. the story gets you wrapped up into the struggles of these two guys and if they should or should not record the execution. you will have to see the film to get the rest of the story but the i could not take my eyes off of movie screen. the condemned man and the warden were unforgettable. what happens between these two men will be embedded in my mind for years to come. like the other comments on here i can agree that it is a very special film. | |

| Walk a mile in his shoes..., 29 March 2007 10/10 Author: fivegoughs from United States This film will have you reexamine your feelings about death row. The uncertainty you have over whether or not this is real will only serve as a guide to what your true values are. Does it matter? How would you feel about the death penalty if you were witnessing it first hand? What about in a drama? Why should the two be any different? The filmmakers did a superb job of capturing the gritty truth that surrounds this gory penalty. I will recommend this movie to anyone who says they know for certain that a man should be put to death for his actions. If we had to walk a mile in the shoes of the criminal, or indeed any of the prison staff I'm quite sure we'd see things differently. This film is a small one in terms of budget and stars. However, it is the small film which often frames America's conscience. I will be very interested to hear what the rest of the country says about this film. It is sure to provide food for thought as the death penalty debate is reexamined throughout the USA. Renee Gough, Elmhurst, Illinois - IMDB.com | |

| WPSD Television in Southern Illinois Review, 25 March 2007 10/10 Author: Alexandra Simpson from United States "Everyone is talking about this incredible story which will change the way you look at the death penalty forever." This quote is from the news story filed by reporter Melissa Crabtree of WPSD Television in Southern Illinois. Miss. Crabtree is not exaggerating when she says that "Everyone is talking ..." because this film was definitely the buzz of the Big Muddy Film Festival in Souther Illinois. Many great films played there this year but "Execution" had the town talking. Here's the story: "In 1995 two filmmakers hid surveillance cameras in the death chamber and recorded a man's execution in the electric chair. The footage was confiscated and hidden from the public for 10 years...until now." Need I say more - DON'T MISS THIS FILM. | |

| Best Prison Flick I've Ever Seen!!!!!!, 27 March 2007 10/10 Author: Parrot Head from United States This film is fantastic. The beginning takes you into a prison as you follow these 2 filmmakers who got access to death row back in 1995. The camera is like a fly on the wall as you watch these guys get on death row and eventually meet the condemned man who has been there for a long time and is only 7 days away from the electric chair. Day after day the filmmakers get more confident as they get closer and closer to the personal life of this killer. Problem is that one of them wants to film a "standard" prison documentary and the other one wants the actual execution. He even goes so far to say: "No Execution...No Film!" These two guys begin to battle over what is right and what is wrong and that leads them up to the final day and the ultimate ending. This film has a lot of twists and turns too but what I like best is the multiple story lines of the Warden and the Condemned Man and then the two filmmakers. Each one has to deal with their own personal demons and it leads to a fantastic climax. I'm not kidding when I say I've never seen anything like this. If you get the chance to see this film don't dare miss it. I have a feeling it's going to be a big hit some day and eventually a cult classic. | |

| Amazing!, 28 March 2007 10/10 Author: Josh Landry from United States I was with a group of students at the screening of EXECUTION when it played on the campus of Southern Illinois University in late February. The electricity in the theater before the film started was amazing. Everyone was silent and it was an eerie feeling because everyone knew what the film was about. We all knew that we were going to see a film where in the end a man or should I say killer was going to be executed in the electric chair. No M. Night Shamalan cheesy twist here - just solid story telling from the beginning to the end. The feeling was the same feeling you get before a roller coaster ride - it was amazing. Once the film starts it grabs you from the opening scene. By the time you get to the last 20 minutes or so, you have been taken on a ride where you have experienced every possible emotion. There are scenes that shock you and scenes that make you question your beliefs. Finally, when you get to the last part of the film and you think you know everything, that's where you are shocked and it hits you like a ton of bricks at the end. I was surprised at how many people just sat in their seats after the copyright and just stared at the dark screen. I don't think one person left during the credits which is amazing today when everyone walks out of most films the moment the first credit hits the screen. Everyone who was there stayed around and talked with the director who was nice to enough to answer most every question. The one question he would not answer was how he obtained this incredible footage. After the screening we all went to the local coffeehouse and talked about the film for hours. Since that time we have been to the film's website and IMDb and have read the many comments people have posted about this movie. The film is now playing at some colleges around the country with Tulane next on the list. If the screening is anything like it was on our campus it will definitely affect a lot of people. We all give the film and the people who made it huge kudos for telling a story that is 100% unique and not some rip-off of any other movies. Long live the real independent filmmakers of the world. | |

| To all my friends: This is a great film you don't want to miss. Everyone is talking about it! Get there early because seating is on a first come - first serve basis and it's going to be crowded. Tulane and the law school is behind this so it's a big event. Doors open at 6pm on Tuesday, April 10th at Tulane's McAlister Auditorium. I will get there really early and try to hold some seats but I'm not sure if they will let me do that. See you there!!! I'll also send an email but I just had to post something on this site. Cheers, Stacy (The Boot) | |

Please post on your site the locations you are bringing the event to. I wish I could be in New Orleans for the 10th but it's hard to travel when you are a student and have no cash. Good luck down there! | |

| Hey Animal, It's actually more of a punishment for these prisoners if they sit in prison rather then just killing them. And don't think you are saving the country money by killing them either. It takes a lot of cash to execute someone so the money issue is really not accurate. Plus, we spend so much money on BS anyway it's really a cop out to use that as a legitimate reason to execute anyone. I'm not some sign carrying opponent to the death penalty either. Just a concerned citizen of the U.S. who cares about what is right or wrong. Maybe this movie will shed some much needed light on this very controversial subject. Hats off to Tulane and other Universities who show films like this one. One last thing, I've checked out both William Neil Moore and Donald Cabana and these two men have fantastic stories, especially Mr. Moore. Did you know that he was on death row for over 16 years and just hours away from his own execution in the electric chair. And did you also know that he is a free man because the family of the man he murdered over 20 yeaars ago fought for his release from prison. Pretty amazing stuff don't you think? I'm looking forward to seeing this film and hopefully meeting Mr. Moore, Mr. Cabana and the filmmakers. | |

| This story seems incredible and almost hard to believe. How can a camera hide in the room where executions take place? Is this really possible? I am also a film maker and I would die to have that footage. People have told me about this movie and I read most of the comments from people all over the place. One thing for certain, this movie has made a lot of people talk. That's what I try to do with my movies but it's not easy. I really wish I had filmed a execution like this. Like most of us who don't live in America full time - we are very curious about the justice system in this country. Where I come from we just put them in jail and forget about it. Here you kill people. I want to see this movie in California. I know a lot of people who want to see it. From - Antonio | |

We have been keeping up with the posts on this website but have not yet seen a time, date or location. This looks really interesting and have heard great things regarding the film. People say it takes you right there when the guy was executed 10 years ago but we are not sure if this is real or just a movie. Please keep us informed as to when the film is going to play in this area. We've seen the news from Illinois and can't wait to see this film. Thanks. | |

| Being a law student I can appreciate this film and how it can capture the attention of an audience. It's much more than just a film where you actually see a man being executed. When you look past that it's really a film about the struggles between the warden and his conscience and the fimmakers and their desire to make money off of a man's death. It really does speak loudly about our society today. I truly enjoyed the screening as did my friends. | |

Great flick and it's intense as hell too. The final moments are unforgettable and takes you to a place that very few of us have seen. Love the long shots and look of the film. My guess is part fiction and part reality but I'm not an expert just your average movie goer. | |

| I don't think the entire movie is real. It seems like part movie and part documentary. But whatever it is, who cares. All that matters is if the story can keep you entertained, and keep your attention for the hour and a half or two hours. This movie does that and more. Me and my friends were totally into the story from the opening graphic. We all stayed and talked to the director after the screening and found what he had to say really interesting. I personally felt sorry for the prisoner even though he did some bad things. Most of us agree that this was the best film we've seen in a long time. Thanks Big Muddy for bringing in films that make us think and causes us to question our preconseived notions. The director told us that he intends on screening this movie at colleges across the country. Well if this screening on the campus of Southern Illinois University is any indication, the students and community will definately support this very unique movie. We loved it and want to thank everyone who made this possible. I know we will be talking about this movie for a long time and can't wait till we eventually find out the real truth behind the story. | |

| this is no blair witch. great story, great characters, and compelling drama. the entire theater was sitting on the edge of their seats counting down the days leading up to the ending we all knew was coming. no cheezy ending or some crappy twist either. this story is solid from beginning to end. starts off slow and quickly builds like a runaway train. i was very surprised at the complexity of the story lines too. lots of subtext and various stories to follow but without a doubt one major theme. the relationship between the warden and the comdemned man is what carries the film but the story of the filmmakers relates to the audience because everyone of us could be them. i'm a bit pissed because i was shocked by the execution process and how methodical it is and i am now flip floping over the whole darn issue of pro vs. con. this story makes one think...really think about what is right and what is wrong with the american criminal justice system. i loved reading all the great comments and i was compelled to write my own. ok i'm beginning to ramble....GREAT MOVIE! who says you need overrated tommy cruise. the realism of this movie is what makes it so damn good. | |

| Hey, just met you at the Big Muddy after watching your film. It was really quite impressive. The way it mixes drama with the real life situation of the inmate is very unique. I found myself really torn. We see actual photos of the gruesome things that this guy committed, but I can't help feeling sorry for him in the end. When the priest is reciting his prayers and Bible verses, it was beyond haunting. | |

Big Muddy Film Festival Brings Controversial Film To Carbondale Last Update: Feb 22, 2007 6:53 PM Posted By: Matthew Bozone Melissa Crabtree, NewsChannel 6 Forget "Sundance" ... Southern Illinois has it's own film festival bragging rights. The 29th annual Big Muddy Film Festival is underway in Carbondale. Popular film topics this year include the death penalty, immigration and the war in Iraq. 60 films are being showcased for the competition, including documentaries, experimental and animation. There's also a variety of non-competition films. This year's Midnight movies include "Annie Hall", "Dr. Strangelove" and "Lost Highway." The true story of a killer and the last hours before his execution are getting rave reviews from movie goers tonight. Some say the movie is so realistic because stars are a former death row inmate, a real life prison warden and a death row priest. For its 29 year run the big muddy festival has never skirted controversy and this year everyone is talking about an unforgettable story that will change the way you look at capital punishment forever. The film maker of “Execution” says his goal is get people as close to the actual event as possible. The film's website has gotten hundreds of comments on both sides. Here's one that reads "kill em all" ..... another asks "if this is a movie or documentary." The death penalty remains a contentious issue in Illinois since Governor George Ryan's landmark moratorium on executions in 2000. Sally Shafto-Film Festival Organizer, "I thought these films would be of particular interest in the state of Illinois." Organizers say socially responsible films are the hallmark of the festival with issues including the death penalty, immigration and the war in Iraq.. Shafto "Way of taking the pulse of the world today what's going on in the world today and the films we're showing do give us an idea of what's going on in the world today."

| Great film. The screening was unforgettable too. Not one person moved after the film was over. I've never seen anything like it. I loved the film and how it was produced and so did everyone else I spoke to except one person who thought it was too graphic and claimed she had her eyes closed during the last 15 minutes. Even so, she could not stop talking about the film and wanted me to explain the ending to her. I said, "Go and see the film again and figure it out for yourself." Now I know why most of these so-called independent film fests have not screened this film...I think it's too far out there for them and it's definately not for Sundance which has turned into a Hollywood showcase event. Execution is going to make a huge impact and the college screenings will bring a lot of attention to the film and the death penalty issue. I can't get some of the images out of my head especially the ending. This film starts off slowly and builds to where it grabs you and won't let go. It may be the most unique film I've ever seen and like anything else that is so "unique" it takes time to catch on. Execution is a very special film. | |

I'm not so sure about that but from the looks of the movie trailer and clips it 's definately got my interest. I'll be in attendance when the film screens at Tulane and I look forward to meeting William Moore and Donald Cabana. I looked both men up on Google and plan on buying both books. William Neil Moore's "I Shall Not Die" and Cabana's "Death at Midnight". Save me a seat! | |

I will admit that I have found myself staying awake at night thinking about this since the private screening a couple of weeks ago. It's really got me going and I can't wait to find out the truth behind the film. | |

| Dear Friends, I will be leaving New Orleans for the Big Muddy Film Festival next Friday, 2/23/07. I'm driving to Carbondale. Illinois and hope to get there in about 10 hours if the weather permits. Execution screens at 2pm on Sunday 2/25/07 and 9:15pm, on Tuesday 2/27/07 at the Southern Illinois University Student Center Auditorium. I look forward to a great trip and will keep everyone posted on any news from the festival. In other news I screened Execution this past Tuesday for 2 top decision makers from Tulane University. The screening went really well and both were very impressed with the film and the idea to have a forum to debate the death penalty on the Tulane campus. I believe that Tulane will get behind our film and sponsor a big event to be held at the 1,500 seat McAllister Auditorium. My goal is to have the screening and forum in March but everything now depends on Tulane. I am also in discussions for screenings at Georgia Tech and Georgia State University in Atlanta among other top colleges. I would like to thank everyone for all that you have done to help me with this very special film and I look forward to putting our story out there for the rest of the world to see. Please continue to checkout our website and send as many people as you can to the site so we can keep the "buzz" going. I will send out a formal press release next week to all media announcing our screening at Big Muddy. All the best, Steve | |

| i'm definately pro-death penalty but i can see how people are totally against this very popular issue. it's crazy just how many people are passionate about their beliefs whether it be for or against a death sentence. even though i am for it, at times i do feel like maybe this is wrong because we are supposed to be a God fearing civilized country. for now though i will remain a "pro death penalty" citizen but maybe this film can change my mind. who knows but it does sound really interesting and lots of people are talking about it. | |

| I agree with the above comment by DAS. I've seen this film and let me tell you that this is what independent filmmaking is all about. Maybe it's too bold or too out there for the likes of Sundance but who cares. Sundance and others have lost that independent spirit which they were founded on long ago. It's a shame but true and I guess the likes of Paris Hilton make them lots of money. I still believe that there is a huge market for people who care about the "true" independents out there and the wonderful films they make. "Execution" is one of those very special films! | |

| I'm very interested in seeing the film at Tulane. Has the date been set for the screening? I'm also interested in participating in the death penalty debate that follows the screening. It's going to be a great event and I look forward to being there. I read both Don Cabana's book and William Moore's book. Both have opened my eyes to the execution process and the death penalty issue. I look forward to meeting them as well as the film's director Steven Scaffidi. | |

You have a great film that will touch the lives of everyone who see it. Billy, Don and everyone who was part of your production did a fantastic job and should be proud. I think you have the best death penalty film ever made and I don't say that lightly. Keep us posted on future screenings. | |

| To everyone who is interested in our premiere screening: We are looking forward to holding the world premiere screening and death penalty forum at Tulane but we have not confirmed the screening or any dates as yet. We are confident however that we will be willing to work things out and as soon as we get a firm agreement we will post the time, date and location of the premiere and forum on this site. If for some reason Tulane does not work out we have some other very good universities where we can potentially hold the event. We are hoping that we can set up everything for March and will let everyone know as soon as possible.. Thanks to everyone who is interested in our film and thank you for so many wonderful comments. Our cast and crew are excited to bring this very special film to the public for the first time and we know that it will spark the fire for a fantastic forum to debate the death penalty. Also, thank you Billy, Don, Fr. Joel, Rich, Daniel and all the cast and crew who helped to make EXECUTION possible. Please feel free to pass along our website www.executionfilm.com to anyone you know. All the best! | |

| I am really looking forward to the screening of the film at Tulane and the death penalty discussion afterward. I think this can be an exciting program, not only for those of us associated with the film, but for the audience as well. It is a topic that always generates lively debate, but after the audience sees this film, I doubt there will be anyone there who is lacking an opinion. | |

| Being apart of execution was fantastic...I have seen many other movies about the death penalty and executions and none of them can compare to execution. When or where has there been any movie made where the principle actors are not really actors, but people that has lived the roles? After spending 16 years on death row myself and coming within seven hours of my own execution, I am some what of an authority on the subject of execution and what happens behind closed doors, of which the public isn't allowed to see. So if anyone want to know, then Tulane is the place to be and view the film. I shall be there to answer any question that you may have. | |

| Tulane will be a great place to premiere this film. We are passionate about topics that are debated nationally and around the globe. The death penalty is one of those topics that get everyone talking. If this film truly puts you on the "front row" as it claims, then I want to be part of this. I've done some research on William Neil Moore and Donald Cabana and was extremely impressed. I've also done my homework on the director of the film Steven Scaffidi. He has an impressive resume and has made films that make news, such as his documentary where "Rockey" from the parish tows his Fema Trailer to the White House and invites Bush to dinner. What a briliant idea to say the least. This death row pic of his has a lot of people talking and I for one would love to see it. I'm not from the south but I love Tulane and the New Orleans area and I think this film will make a statement and could put us on the map again. Now can someone tell me how I can get tickets? Mr. Scaffidi can you help me? | |

| I've also seen the film and it's a great story on so many levels. No special effects are needed to keep you on the edge of your seat. What I like best is that it slowly builds and won't let go. The ending is unforgettable. You know a film is good when you leave the theater and go to a coffee shop and discuss it for hours. | |

You won't be able to take your eyes off the screen. The performances of the Warden and the Condemned Man are unforgettable. No doubt one of the best films I've ever seen. I'm excited that it will soon be available to the general public. Don't miss it!!!! | |

| I just had the opportunity to see this wonderfully wild and original film. Let me say one thing...I've never seen anything quite like it. It is a story that holds your attention from the first scene all the way through the credits. It's suspensful to the point that my heart was pounding during the last 20 minutes to the point that I could hardly stand it. My eyes never once left the screen. This film is not necessarily for mainstream audiences but for those who are open to something completely original it's a masterful work of art. Hell, I take that back...this film could be a huge hit with the mainstream - it's got a lot that today's audience goes for. At first I wasn't sure if this film was for me but as I watched the story unfold, I found myself getting sucked into the grips of a very smart and thought provoking movie. I have to say it again, I've never seen anything like this at all. It's possibly the most original film I've ever seen and that's saying something considering the fact that I see at least 3-4 films a week. If you get the chance to see this film don't you dare pass up the opportunity. | |

| Clips are great. Seems to me like this is a popular site and a great premise for a film. I read about the "Warden" Donald Cabana and the "Condemned Man" William Neil Moore. I was surprised to find out that these two guys are the real thing. To have these 2 men star in the film make it even more real. I've always wanted to get inside the death row/execution issue. I'ts a controversial subject that needs to be discussed especially now that the issue is front and center again. Even so, the controversary about the death penalty just seems to never go away. I imagine so long as people keep killing people for the sake of justice this issue will never die. I would like to see this film so I can judge for myself. | |

Not to equate this documentary to any sport. So you have combined the current television trend with some of the most watched events in the world, into something that no one as ever seen before, but many have been curious to. This is a brilliant trailor that leaves you wanting ( but not wanting) to see it to the very end!!! | |

| It's unbelievable that now Saddam's half brother is decapitated. How crazy is that? Maybe some of these thugs that think they can just kill people and walk away will have second thoughts. But when I think about it ...probably not. However I do agree with Mike. Let's make these criminals watch a real execution. I have to say that this website is thought provoking.

| I've always been curious about the death penalty and have wanted to know what really goes on behind the scenes of death row. This story looks really interesting and I would definately like to see this movie. Not sure if it is right or wrong but I am interested and really don't care what the rest of the world thinks about. But I have a feeling that there are lots of people out there just like me who will line up to see the execution. Maybe it's like when we were all kids and our parents would say you can't do this or that and you did it anyway. Most people won't admit it but they all want to see what they are not supposed to see. Just human nature I guess. | |

| I saw this film in a private screening with about 30 people. The film was one of the most powerful I have ever seen. Let me tell you, the audience was frozen in silence at the end of the movie. It must have taken at least a few minutes before the first person spoke. We then started talking about the film and everyone in that audience had something to say. We went on with this discussion for over an hour and it was great. Some of us were for the death penalty and some against it but I can promise you that the film made all of us think and actually changed my position on the death penaly. That's powerful and I can't wait for the rest of America to see this wonderful film. | |

| Steve, it was good seeing you today and I have to say it again...GREAT FILM!!! It's odd to me that some of these so called "major" film fests have passed on Execution. All I can say is that it must be too controversial, too edgy, too unique for them because I've been to quite a few fests and this film is better than most films I've seen in years. It's too bad that most of these "independent" film festivals are not independent at all and are just a resource for the hollywood clan. So be it. I can't wait for this film to explode on America and the rest of the world. People will be blown away when they see this unforgettable movie. Thanks again for the privlidge to have been invited to one of your private screenings. Please don't forget to invite me to the world premiere! | |

This story could stir up a serious debate on the death penalty. I'm not sure if I'm for or against at this point. I could really make a case for both sides. I have a feeling that a lot of people are just like me. This is one of the hottest topics in America today and the rest of the world is also interested in our stance on the death penalty issue.

PT Barnum once said that there's a sucker born every minute. Armed with that wisdom, I would approach this film with a healthy dose of skepticism. Most people don't realize the extreme politics and covert manner in which executions are actually carried out. Only a select few ever get to witness the real deal. The vast majority of so called "witnesses," are usually second and third party accounts. There are people who still believe that depictions such as those in the Faces of Death, are true and unedited. The reality, is that all of those "executions" were staged with some very good acting and a full time editor. Even the director himself, has always been forthcoming about it's lack of authenticity. The electric chair scene was filmed in an apartment building, with an actor who was currently out of work and in need of employment. Judging from the trailers, this film is reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project. It's formatted to resemble a real life documentary. Below the surface, it appears to me to be more like a political agenda and a typical hollywood soapbox. Most of the time, the event is edited for "Hollywood effect," and is an exaggeration of the actual event. Most of the time, it's a liberal filmaker pushing a very personal anti-death penalty agenda. | |

| very cool - the clips are great and i want to see more. do you actually see the live execution? no matter what i love this kind of thing. problem is i can't find the film. if anyone can help with this delima please post the answer here. i've been tracking this site for months and so have some of my boys. lots of interest on our end if we just knew where we could get the movie. i'm puzzeled so this may be a ploy to get more interest before the release date. anyway i'll be looking for it. bb | |

| I was hoping to see this film in Toronto. Well...their loss and another festival's gain. Looks to me like this is an independent gem. | |

| Is this a Lions Gate film? Looks like something they would distribute because it is thought provoking and very edgy. We all like it!!! I went to Blockbuster and I can't find it and the guy told me that he's never seen it. So please tell us how can we buy this film. Thanks. | |

| I heard about this execution years ago. Is this the footage from the prison in South Carolina? Where can I see this movie? | |

| I feel this film should be seen because, death isnt anything to fuck around with. The fear we get from seeing this film is only a mere fraction of what the actual person on death row has to deal with. We should be put in the shoes of a actual peron on death row and step back and decide whether this is actually humane or not. | |

| my sister was at the sundance film festival and this film was talked about everywhere. although the film did not get into the festival, talk about it created serious buzz. two of her friends attended a private screening and were blown away. what are you guys waiting for? release the damn movie. | |

| though this site is pathetically over dramatic - the subject is very real and the public should have access to ALL the information required to make an informed decision. | |

| I'm impressed by the number of people who have posted comments here, but I'm not surprised. Interesting topic that gets your attention and gets people talking. I for one am against the death penalty but I would think that this film is of interest to people on both sides. I am interested in seeing this film. | |

| Does this film have a distribution deal? Looks like Lions Gate, New Line, maybe even Magnolia (Cuban's company). This film will have no problem finding an audience. | |

| I'm very interested in this topic and I'm not alone. The death penalty is always a "hot topic" and ranks at the top of the list of subjects that people are passionate about and always have an opionion on right or wrong. I agree with everyone on here who loves the trailer and the clips and now is dying to see the movie. Show us the film!!! | |

| Since I'm totally against anything to do with legalized killing by government entities I was not sure what to expect on this site. I've know about it for sometime having been exposed to the "X" at Sundance but have resisted going to this site for months. Problem is that I've been hearing about this film since the producers made their way to Park City and got the attention of many film fans and locals alike. Now I hate to admit it but I'm one of many who are really interested in seeing this film. The trailer and clips are great so I can only imagine how powerful the movie is. Looking forward to the film's release. | |
