| Introduction | Sam Watermeier has been a film critic since practically before he was born, as he almost popped out of his mother's womb in a movie theater during the drawn-out conclusion of "The Godfather Part III." Sam got his professional start in 2009 at NUVO Newsweekly, where he now writes a weekly column called Indy Film Talk in which he explores the efforts of those in the Indiana film community — especially the horror directors holding funhouse mirrors up to our everyday fears. Sam also writes for The Film Yap, contributing reviews and commentaries, such as The Burton Binge, in which he wrote about each of Tim Burton's films leading up to his return to roots, "Frankenweenie." |
