THE COST – interview with Matthew Holmes by GREG KING

THE COST – interview with Matthew Holmes by Greg King Film Reviews Expert Critic

In this taut and gripping locally produced drama two men are intent on dispensing their own brutal form of justice to a felon who committed a horrific crime many years before. The Cost is written and directed by Matthew Holmes (The Legend Of Ben Hall, etc), and it delivers a different take on the Hollywood revenge genre. For Movies At Dusk Greg chatted with Matthew about the idea behind the film, the casting, and some of the influences on the look and feel of this gritty drama.
