First Stills from "Black Magic"

Earlier this week on the official Black Magic Facebook page, the first two stills from the movie were released. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Black Magic, it is a fantasy horror movie that was written and directed by Syracuse native Connor Strader and one of my fellow graduates at OCC Jared Morales worked on it as director of photography. I'm not quite sure what to think of the stills, other than they look pretty eery, but hearing about the overall inspiration and concept of the story I am quite eager to see the film. The movie is still currently in post production and no release date has been set. However, you can watch Connor Strader's short Psychomantum, which recently had a screening at Scare-A-Con Film Festival. It's a pretty basic horror short, but the production is great. My main complaint is how poorly written the only female character is, especially considering that she is probably the most talented of all the cast. Check out the stills and Psychomantum below and leave a comment with your thoughts!
