Kern Saxton demonstrates DEADER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY in his entry in the DIARY OF THE DEAD contest, one of the more skillful clips I've seen so far. There isn't much of a story here--four drug addicts argue over how to proceed when one of their friends is turning into a zombie--which is rather irritating; we get a lot of "debating" as the characters hurl the word "fuck" back and forth (Saxton doesn't seem to know the difference between David Mamet "fucks" and BLAIR WITCH PROJECT "fucks"); even in the limited time alloted, there was potential for conflict and tension that goes untapped. At least Saxton got an adequate job out of his actors.
CHEMISTRY also benefits from a little production value, with an effective score by Friedrich Myers and stylistic editing and camerawork. The closing scenes are admirably done, leading one to believe we'll be seeing more from Saxton in the future.
